Very nice :thumbup: Great to see you posting pics of some of your wonderful collection at last! :thumbup:
Brad, thank you. "spring knife" is a more accurate and descriptive term than is "slip-joint", but i guess it would be an uphill battle to get people to revert back to "spring knife".

"at least we got from scales to covers/handles"
Yes ! to a trained cutler "scales" refer to the liners, not the handle (or cover) material.
Some people may think "so what" but as BF is in part a reference site for information about knives, we should be using the correct words for knives and knife parts.

Another beauty my friend :thumbup:
Beautiful knife! Is that a deep etch or stamping?
Here's an old cutlery handled clip point Bowie, ricasso marked EDWARD BARNES & SON 12 inch overall, German silver hollow handle, matching thin oval crossguard, 7 inch blade etched For The Gold Searchers Protection. Original leather sheath with a gold embossed design, german silver mounts. Guess the knife was made C 1850s ? (California gold mining trade).
Thanks for looking...Mick
Charles, that Jordan is fantastic!
