NONE OF THEM HAVE BEEN BUFFED!!!

Some of my dates may not be right. Let me know and I will correct them...
Sorry about the lousy picture. Hopefully you can see them OK.

I actually like Hawkbills, there is something about them that makes them look a little more dangerous than other knives... Which in turn make me appreciate them...I know that's kinda weird but oh well...

Hello CCBill & Others today ,

I like HawkBill's also. Here is a couple of oldn's I have.
I do not know if you can see wood grain on the M&G, it is almost like burl. You can still see original etch if held just right.

I think it is a Joy to find old tool knives that have not been abused .
