Albers Cutlery Company

My meager but loved collection of Albers knives. I passed two others along to fellow Porch members. A Red G10 to JM in France and a Hawaiian Mango Wood to Pete who in an act of true brotherly love gave it to his brother.

not too shabby! I managed a whitetail and unfortunetly now life won’t be complete without some more. Is the red trout a sheepsfoot?

Nice collection! :thumbsup: While I’m definitely looking forward to the Lambsfoot (and crossing as many fingers and toes as I can hoping I can get ahold of one), I’d love to see Eric do some sheepsfoot Jacks like that Red Trout, too.
 
I've been trying to learn the history.

Written by Richard Lanigan (sp?) who traded knives under the name Red Trout. Red Trout knives were indeed made by Eric while he worked at CSC Co-op.
