The "Mount Rushmore" of your collection

Since I reside in South Dakota, the Mount Rushmore state, I find it interesting when various sports teams list the "Mount Rushmore" of their team, that is the 4 best players in their teams history. I thought it may be interesting to have those of you so inclined to show the "Mount Rushmore" of your collection, that is your 4 favorite knives in 4 different patterns. I will start out with my choices.

Brantford stockman

Paxton & Gallagher harness jack

Ulster Boy Scout

Miller Brothers whittler

Special to me because of the serendipity of their acquisition. An early Victorinox Soldier (civilian version), a beautifully made Krusius Camp/Scout, a Klaas Jack (bolsters repaired/replaced by me) and a found at the side of the road Hackman Puukko. Total expenditure.... $26 Canadian!! Lucky finds all.

Redrider, obviously the Remington is nice but I really like your jumbo whittler.

Wow, very difficult question. If you ask me tomorrow it probably will be 4 very different answers. But for now I will go with these from the "Tested" group.

Thank you, Sir.

VERY NICE knives guys!

It's hard for me to pick only four, but I am particularly fond of these. It took me a LONG time to find them. All are old H. Bokers.

peanut740 · Post by **peanut740** » Sat Oct 19, 2019 3:36 am

Well done so far guys.Keep them coming!Roger,always like seeing some of your Bokers.

Joe, I picked that one up at least 50 years ago. I didn't have a clue what I had until about the time I joined AAPK. Searching for information on it was how I stumbled on to AAPK.

Impossible to pick just four.I just spent an hour debating with myself(a very hard person to argue with)on which ones to pick.I came up with five so let's just pretend there is another President on the memorial(pick one;I'm not political).All of these have a special meaning to me.
#1 A 17th century Persian jambiya with sheath and companion dagger.Damascus blades;carved,"pachyderm incisor" handles;wooden sheath covered in what looks like lizard skin.
#2 A Press Button Knife Co. one armed man's knife etched,"Compliments of A.A. Marks Maker of artificial Limbs"
#3 A Case V-42 dagger bought as a letter opener.
#4 A John Ek Model 6 # M393 fighting knife given to me as a gift for appraising some knives.
#5 A Joseph Rodgers spear point(9 inch)bladed Bowie knife with original sheath.

Next time I'll do folding knives.

I'm glad it steered you to the forum, Jerry.
What a knife!

Wow, some power lineups here. I especially like Roger's and the Bokers. (had to add the Ulster twice so I'm still at four.)
