Now that knife really trips my trigger, it's got everything going for it, gorgeous bone, great condition, rare company and a taste of the locality in the etch and the owners beautifully engraved initials. If you ever get tired of looking at it feel free to send it my way :lol:

Some awesome knives there Roger! I especially like the Northfield and Phoenix. Hard to find in any condition.
