Randy - nice collection of EO's - good composition of the photo's too.
Chet - all I can say is "wow"!

I knew you had a bunch of nice stuff and I am glad to see you're finally posting pictures. btw, the eagle knife company of philly bought seconds from NYK Co. and restamped them.

Awesome Chet!

The one furthest to the left has a clip blade.
Is that correct for the pattern or has the blade been replaced?
