Some more beauties Dimitri ::tu:: ::tu:: ... Hard not to like that stag 8) unique Schrade Key knife and 4 jigged bone Press Buttons ::tu:: ::tu::

Bill - As Dimitri said - I'm really sorry to hear about your wife and indeed hoping she has a speedy and full recovery soon!! Family always before knives Bill ::nod:: ... I'm just glad the knives being shown are giving you some relief and enjoyment under the circumstances!!

Woodwalker - Nice knives and I can certainly see why that Waterville is your prize - sweet!!!!

Dan and Dimitri - Those Jess Crouch and Chris Wolf knives are very cool ::tu:: ::tu:: ... For good reason I had an itch to get one or both of those awhile back but came up empty... I just thought the background behind them was really interesting... and though the itch dissipated it may reappear if the opportunity comes around at the right time ::nod:: ... As an aside I went through the same thing after driving past the Collins site in CT - the next week the itch appeared that needed to be scratched and I bought a Collins axe and 4 others :shock: .. Luckily that subsided :wink: .. What a "disease" ::facepalm:: and those itchy symptoms can be serious :lol:

Well I found a few more laying around that I am certain are pre 1960. I've got quite a few XX era case knives but tere is a possibility some of those could be post 1960 so I'll hold those back.

When I got the Robeson Daddy Barlow both handles were broken. The wood I used is a piece of dyed oak burl. The Peres has the original wood, some German walnut maybe?
