Thank you Tom, it's my favorite knife.

Thanks Johnnie, I didn't think it was that old. It looks pretty good for 100+ years old. Still has plenty of snap on the blades too.

Mike,
that is a fine old knife. Being an easy opener, would that go about 3 1/2"?

I got lucky at the flea market one Sunday PigSticker. I bought that one from an old timer for $35. He had some other knives too but nothing near as nice as that ECC. I've never seen him there again but I look for him every Sunday.
