Some of the most beautiful antler I have ever seen: a carving set in it's original leather covered wood case stamped ''Landers, Frary, & Clark Aetna Works ''.
Nice antlers there. Excellent texture, nice and groovy.
While not as groovy or bumpy, the 72 Lock Back did some talking and I couldn't stop listening. From the collection of the man, Charlie Compagna of Waynorth Cutlery
The whittler is from the GEC table at the OKCA show, Bill Howards daughter sold it to me.

Hey GSP bud, that's the bug biting you in the you know what. That was me years ago and they got me hook, line, sinker, sucker caught. Had to have me some of that fresh bait and still looking for morsels to this day. That's where the hobby turns into addiction. Can't help myself. Gotta have more, give me the straight dope, the good stuff, the kind we all seek forever afterwards.

Ahhh, thanks so much Marco. Appreciate it big time. You too GSP, you guys are making me blush. But glad you like the pics for sure, makes it all worthwhile. When the boss say "another knife", I say "gotta keep the guys on AAPK happy, they want the good stuff, the kind, the stuff that's in demand and well photographed. Can't let them down honey." Or something. That's my rational anyway. Thanks again.

It's a German goat horn dagger. Marked FREIDR'PLUCKER JB - SOLINGEN - JB. I think the sheath is original to the dagger.

Thanks. I bought it earlier this year. I tend to gravitate to the occasional oddball knife.

Ken, My cousin just got one on the Bay. The handle is a lot smaller, thinner. Guess they used what they had. They're all beautiful knives, love the grind. O'.
