Gary...I have just bought an old timer.... a 1940t, in unused condition...its a awesome knife, and "eyeing" another -great knives...imagine those knives with a hunk of awesome Stag and say..... fancy bolsters?..THAT would be nice to see! Cool to see mley1's one too!
Steve...thank you for the shots of your canoe!!..yeah..they would look good together...Im thinking that maybe yours juuuust might show up the Schlieper though? lol
cj65...awesome-thank you for entering the comp..and thank you for showing us your case's...I have my first case arriving inside a couple of weeks...nothing too rare-a swinguard from the 70's...looking forward to seeing it!
Jeff...I think its pretty damned cool to have a knife from your dad-as jacknife writes about all the time, and others who are fortunate enough to have this-I am not so lucky..my only grandad was a very mean old bugger

, and my dad wasnt the sort of bloke who liked knives...so I missed out...BUT i do have my brothers knife-he passed around 20 years ago-he was my older brother-and I still remember him...ohhh probably 36 years ago now showing me his knife- I didnt know how to open the knife-so he showed me how so I wouldnt cut myself...man..even writing about it brings massive emotions storming through! I was blown away when that blade came out

!!
I do have that VERY precious knife..be it a cheepie, ( an Imperial wildcat folder )but not in sentimental value!!...I think even to Andrew ( my brother ) ..it would have been a pretty cool knife!
Cheers everyone...I hope this isnt going on too long ...i did say till the end of the month...that seems quite away doesnt it? lets keep it going for a while yet though...have a great time looking through this forum-I know I am.
