Stunning!

Double thumbs up Gary .

Very nice, Gary; tell us more!

Cal, Garry beautiful knives

Thank you, gentlemen. I appreciate your appreciation. This 7" dagger (dbl edge) was made by Adam Smith. The scrimshaw is what caught my eye. It was executed by C. Hargrave and is probably the best scrim work I possess. I believe this knife was the first fixed blade I purchased. Got through the AGRussell's Cutting Edge catalog.

Very NICE Cal and Garry!!!

Here's a few old KA-BAR's_____Dave

Boy! You are not kidding! What a range- Outers type, colorful cell, big, small and even a thistle! Nice show!

Schwa-eeet Dj .

Your Ka-bar's are absolutely mint (you know what i mean...).

Dave,

Does that small clip point knife withe the sabre grind have a Boy Scout etch on the off side of the blade? I've got two just like and both have the etch. Good looking KA BARS too.

Nope, nothing but KA-BAR on it. Thanks _____Dave

I'm not one of the big fixed blade collectors, but I do have some. Here are my larger ones and I have about 10 or so of the smaller ones.

Sweet layout David

Excellent collection, and layout Dave .

I think Gerber did an exceptional job with their commemorative of the famous wasp-wasted Vietnam era knife. Fine grind lines.

Very Nice Gerber What year is the Z serial # from ?

Gary, The only Gerber chart I've found ends at 1999. I suspect this is a 2000 limited edition. Could be wrong.

Gary (kennedy knives), I knew I had more info on this Gerber if I could only find it which I did after a long search in trunks not fully unpacked since I began my retirement.

Here is the input from the box it came in from AGR. "The Mark II is one of a 100 piece limited edition produced in 2002 for A G Russell Knives, each with a unique serial number. This version combines features found on the Mark II throughout its illustrious history including a "cats tongue" coated stainless steel grip that is powder coated with cardinal black and gray, and the addition of a premium 154CM stainless steel blade. The classic leather sheath has been reproduced for that famous Mark II look and feel. ZOOO52

Garry Thanks for the info on your Gerber . I have one from 1968 with Cat's Tongue & Gray Armorhide Handle Serial # 007664. With pamphlet Someone cut the sharping stone pouch off which is a shame but still a nice Mark II from that time period .
