Nice cannonball! The third one down and the last one look like my kind of knives.

A pic of Just Plain Dave's sanrenmu prompted me to contact the seller on ebay and inquire regarding a knife to review.

Trevor, it's not nice to create envy here in the heart of the holiday season.
Putting the joking aside for just a second, those three are real beauties. Congratulations.

Here is another mint Case from the Johnnie Fain collection, just bought this one off of one of ORVET's Fain auctions here on AAPK. It is my first Texas Jack, a pattern 6292 from 1982. Just a perfect knife, now I want to find a smaller version of the two blade Texas Jack!

Another of my China knives through Aliexpress. A Boker Plus M004 which may or may not be a model you can buy anywhere but china. But it's tight, sharp and smooth enough to operate!

Just scored this near mint Boker. Circa 1982 stockman (9885 pattern).
Note what I like to call the "hollow tree" tang stamp. I believe this tang stamp was only used during the early 1980s in the final years of USA production.
