The old wood has really gotten ahold of me lately!

These pages are making me drool! Those are some spectacular knives. I love the Ebony wood here, very mysterious, it seems to grab the eye. The list you have going there FRJ, simply spectacular, particularly that beautiful old American knife co. Now that was a working knife! And how could I forget the list of yours knife7knut, that Waterville shield is great. One of my favs is the American Shear co. of yours singin46, simple beauty.

No 888, I just oil it once in a while and wonder who bought it from ol Ben and then never used it. Knives are what keep me going.

Thanks Miller Bro's and Singin46, glad I can share them
But after lookin at Jacknifeben's I see that I'm gonna have to try to find some that are that clean! Boy thats a dandy! Oh the knife collectors dream, to walk into a little nicknack shop and find a big ol' hunter such as that for just a few bucks and a smile.
one day, one day...
