It's a pen, thank you. I realized that I don't have a Case Peanut. I think that is a infraction-able offense around these parts.
I'll add the Victorinox Broker
(Just because it's an excuse for me to post this picture)
So youre the reason i cant find any 25s! Very nice collection

Rescued Graeff & Schmidt Jack Knife with smooth bone covers. This knife was found in a toolbox I pickup either at auction or yard sales I forget which but it was a blob of latex paint which took me a couple hours to clean off enough just to identify the pattern. It looked like the guy let it sit in the bottom of a roller pan where it hardened in the paint.
As you can see it cleaned up very knicely
. I almost threw it in the scrap pile but something made me start to clean it up to find a tang stamp. What I found was the original owner had used the main spear blade to open quart cans of paint leaving a scalloped edge on the main blade that I hand ground out all the chips and the secondary blade was ground to a jagged edge.
After several hours of soaking and cleaning with a dental pic this was the end result, that chip in the bone at the rear is the only thing wrong with the blade but as it didn't take away anything from the usefulness of this 80+ year old knife so I left it, it gives it character.. I wish I had taken a WIP series of pics and will in all future rescues. (this was all from a few years ago, the pics I took today but the rescue took place a few years back.

And I've done it all from a little Scottish island
Cheers Alan :thumbup:
Very fond of the little ones.
That's an awesome collection Ken, it's not often you see more 26s than 25s. I love the frontier bone spear main model with the corset shield, and is the abalone an open house (and if it is, do you have the matching blade pick?). The gorgeous '08 acrylic is my favourite, though
Stunning Ted, a lovely piece. Given my love for the small 25 pattern, I've often wondered at where the inspiration for the dimensions came from - your restoration piece might have answered that question
