Mighty fine lookin' knives you have there

Hard to single one out from that crowd... but I did notice there doesn't appear to be any pins holding the abalone scales onto the Simmons / KK.

Thanks for the comments Ken, Joe and Lee. Yep, there are no visible pins in the abalone. Simmons called abalone "Japanese pearl". There are 8 patterns in the 1917 catalog with Japanese pearl handles. The scans are not that great, but, there are no visible pins in any of them. The handle slabs are very thin and I am not sure how they are held on? If it is glue, it is very durable as they are firmly attached.

Very knice
espn77 &
Dan!!!
Here's one I just received in the mail yesterday...
a Schrade Walden №865 Sunfish Lobster which I narrowed down to between 1948−58. I including the 1954 catalog cut.
Does anyone know what "Sunfish" refers to? Is it because of the "etched" mark side cover of the handle?

Just got this EKA lobster in a knife lot. It is in excellent shape. Still has factory grind on all blades. MOP is perfect both sides.

I know Keith posted a beauty of a Remington Orange Blossom but thought I would share mine now that I took some photos - finally after 3 years... The good news is I realized I have a few other Remingtons from long ago that need photos
R6454 and tang stamp was 1933-35 date range according to chart.. solid snap and tight with some staining of blades that were next to liner.. used but not really sharpened..

Here is a HSB & Co. OVB modified sleeveboard tip bolster 3 inch Lobster. Hardly looks ever used or sharpened post production. Beautiful somewhat irregular spoon gouged chocolate brown bone handles. I am guessing this one was made by NYKC. I have several NYKC examples that have this same sort of jigging pattern.
