Lawrence, that shield is a strange one! I have seen it before - but not with a fish shield on the other side!
Wonder what it is supposed to be?
Kinda looks like a comma to me... but who, what, when, where, and why???
What you guys think it is?
That is some killer color on that jack, Scott! Love it! Nice find buddy!
Glad yall liked the Richards cards.

Joe, that is super cool! I never saw that knife before, I imagine its fairly rare? Very cool! 
Is it the only deer knife or did they do the other well known such as dancer, donner, prancer, etc...?
Merry Christmas my friend

I'm only up to 2011 on this thread, but I can't wait to start posting, this mini Hammer is a sweet shell
I'm loving hanging on the deck taking photos and smoking a cigar and watching the birds at the feeder, maybe a adult beverage
life is good fellows

very cool Mickey! You've got the sickness alright. 
Hey Joe, that Rudolf knife I totally forgot about sending to you last year. My mind must be going.

That comma shield on that fishing knife is a mystery to me as well.

The last two pictures are a warning to Mickeyevans, this could happen to you.
Over one hundred shells and still growing

these are different kinds of shell knives
I believe the bolsters are shell with a strip of metal attaching them, and the handle material pinned to that strip
the Prov cut co (@1917) is a colonial related early company according to Bonfire Bob
I have no idea about the orange knife except the shell bolster, there is only Patt#s on the tang
there is a Imperial England there too, not sure of the date on that one
