Oh yea. Now that's my kind of pile. A little of this and a little of that. Beautiful. And those 42 slot folders are perfect for storing them. My favorites.
I hope you don't mind if I brighten it up just a smidge.

What is in the top right hand corner? Is that a little knife in a box? If so, what is the knife?
Nice collection by the way.

Hi guys,the two DE folders are a muskrat shapleigh and the sowbelly is a 4 blade shapleigh. All 4 blades are stamped on the sowbelly, which i believe makes it an earlier one. Both are made by Schrade as contract knives I think,but i could be wrong on the muskrat

The little knife in the box is a colonial easy open with shackle and snap chain. two blade, very well made with imitation pearl scales. knife only about an inch and a quarter long. It was in the little gold colored box and in side is written "lois 1941" Found it in a small antique shop a few miles from my house in southern Indiana. Almost forgot, scales are imprinted "washington D.C. A souvenir knife i suppose.

The muskrat looks schrade to me but the sowbelly is not. Both nice knives, the sowbelly being a much sought after old pattern. Schrade never made one to my knowledge.

clockman, I'm not sure what I am seeing. Bottom row, right half of the folder, 3rd knife from the center, kind of bluish. Is this celluloid? Looks like it might be deteriorating-outgassing-which could adversely affect your other knives. Hope you will tell me I am wrong. ::paranoid::

Quick Steel, the knife you are concerned about outgassing is a pal blade co. easy open . The scales are fine i just looked at it the other day. Thanks for your concern, Randy
