Are you talking about this one? If you are, it's a Tuxedo pattern.

That's the one. So I've learned something. A Tuxedo pattern. Pretty little delicate pattern. Thanks.

I really like those Ka-Bar dog's head knives. Especially the Coppersmiths. My gawd they are good looking.

Well, much to my chagrin I was not able to make it to the Dalton Ga. Knife Show due to some mechanical problems I incurred in North Carolina so that brings my score to Work Days - 15,144 vs. Knife Shows - 0. I'll try to make the Blade show in June ::pray:: . I was able to pick up a few onli ne last week though and had a Somewhat varied mail basket when I finally made it home. Three Cases and two Northwoods. ::super_happy::

Greg, you know, a *really* dedicated knife nut would have left the truck on the side of the road and done a "planes, trains & automobiles" adventure to get to the knife show... ::sotb::

Didn't make it to the knife show? You could hold your own. Nice looking pick ups. Really like pick up #5.

This one just came from Cosgrove (AAPK store).
It's a Camillus Engineer's Knife with brass liners. Early wartime production.
The main blade has wear but it's still a good strong knife.

In another thread, we were discussing the mix & match parts with Schrade that occurred at the end of life for Camillus. Lo & behold, what should come in today's mail? A perfect example of exactly that. This is a single-blade linerlock that is exactly like a Schrade 18OT, except for the top & bottom line Camillus tang stamp and the blank shield. Companies can be so silly...

That chestnut bone is very pretty, but that Barlow is foxy...

Wow, the spine picture of the old Camillus 4 blade shows how 'stoutly' made they were. 75 years old now and still going strong. Wish i had some Camillus genes in me.
