Well, here is an Amber Bone CSC congress with some 1st year friends and a red stag congress from a mint set. Bulldog 1993 stag congress, from Jim Parker's first Bulldog prototypes. Also, a few 25th anniversary protoypes in the congress pattern.

Is that you hiding in the spearpoint blade? I half expect you to morph out of there like that Terminator guy, with a spearpoint arm...

When I first started collecting Case, I collected 88's, Muskrats, and 94's (big Cigars). When I became a dealer I found out that you really can't collect and deal at the same time. It's like stealing from yourself ::dang:: . The only knives I collect now are Hawbaker Muskrats, I'm only three away from having everyone made to date. When I get those three I'll have to think of something new.
