Very nice. Did you post those in the Traditional section? I think it'd be considered more like "eye candy" over there. Nice pick-ups, though.

They're all beautiful, but I especially like the Imperial ( 1st pic) :thumbup:

The celluloid on that Hammer Brand is nice. Don't see too many like that nowadays. Those all look like some wonderful users.

Trade the Imperial? You are kidding, right?

That blade is second only to my (Grandpa's) old Case Scout in lovely usefulness!

And the Hammer Brand Scouts main blade is third place! The celluloid is very nice except where something (almost looks like a dog did it except the other side does not have any marks like it) dinged it on one side. Makes it a great carry piece as I can't hurt it much worse.

You can betcha the Imperial is gonna get a lot of pocket time!

Edit: PS: A certain moderator in Traditional seems to look for ANY reason to ban me. I try to be extra careful now.

You have an Imperial Cattleman there. It's a fine knife, and makes a great user. Good carbon steel, ground thin, makes for sharp blades.

 

[PBJSIII]

Maybe it's an optical illusion but the long pull nail nick on yours looks thin on the pivot end.

You have nicer scales though!

 

[kamagong]

The nail pull is the same I think, but there may be some difference due to how it was stamped in the blade.

The scales are the same. Yours just has more use is all.

I like the condition mine is in. Short of prying there ain't much I could do to hurt it.

And I carry a Gerber Artifact on my key chain for prying!
