Might have to start calling you "Wrangler".
Yes it does keep growing Tom, but I'm still searching for the elusive "elk head" knife, in any pattern.
I can help you search for your Elk on the Bay in Germany if you like. We could work out a trade if I find one. But only if you want. And here's an Elk knife. Seen this one yet?:

It may not be your taste, just as shot in the dark.
And one more thought. I've seen knives with advertising for Elk Loges before. Maybe some Elk Lodge had a knife produced with an Elk on it. Who knows. I'm sure theres one out there with your name on it. So to speak.
Latter Skip,
Tom
Hi Tom. I appreciate the offer, but I want the knife to be from Imperial, Kingston, Ulster, etc. I want it to be the same style of handles, but it could be any pattern. I don't want just any knife with an elk image on it. The picture below is what I'm talking about. Those are what I have so far and I want to maintain the same style of handles but the pattern can be different.
Thank you again, Skip.

Wow Skip! They look even better when they are all lined up like that. If I stumble across any that might fit into your scheme,
( Imperial, Kingston, Ulster, ) I'll send you the link in a PM.

Hi Scott,
Is that a Single blade Queen at the top? I really like that one!
I saw that your from west central FL. I went to HS in New Smyrna Beach, about 15 min. South of Daytona in Volusia County.
Sure do miss it. Except for the "Canes" and Mosquitoes.
Take care,
Tom

Nice finds! Now that I have a real Benchmade to compare it to, I've been meaning to get a Ganzo myself. I have pretty much that same hawkbill, although mine is marked Ontario. I'm a little confused since the hawkbill was never an offering in the "Old Hickory" line Queen made for OKC. Then again, I have an idea there was an agreement like "OK Ontario, you make us Demo Knives and TL-29s for the military contract; we'll make a line of traditional knives, including a hawkbill for you".

Hey Tom-
No sir, she's a trapper.....and downright gorgeous.
Personally I hate FLA except for 3 months of the year. I'm on the opposite coast of FLA!
Here's a pic of the trapper

Rick T that is a very good looking knife and obviously well made. The runup is as good as can be found on a manufactured knife. A quality piece.

I just received this Robeson 622061 trapper. According to the tang stamp, it is 1940-1964. I'm very pleased - she's filthy, but seems to be an HOK. Snaps on open, close is a bit weak, but that might be due to the dirt & gunk. No cracks. She'll fit right in to my empire of dirt.

This Chinese Cannon showed up in today's mail. Fairly decent all around except for the half-stop is pretty "flopsie" but for the price I can live with it. Walk & talk is okay. Not what we've become accustomed to seeing come out of China but it's better than Pakistan and as I said, for the price, it's okay.

Today I received this Solingen Slimline Trapper by Boker. The F&F are decent. The half stops are fair. I like the bright yellow bone. The blade had good initial sharpness.

That bright yellow is bone? Wow - I never would have guessed that. I'm just too used to seeing yellow Delrin!
