Bail Me Out! (Traditional Knives with Bails)

[waverave]

I couldn't find a thread for bailed knives and thought it might be worthwhile to gather in one place...plus I am a fan. Much like the Whaler, you either love the bails or hate them Of course, we see bails all the time on various scout knives but there are a lot of other configurations out there.
Whatcha got?

A couple of dainty ones I've posted in other threads:

Marlin Spike knives need a bail.

All Electrician's Knives have them.

Kid's knives have them too...
A couple from the 50's and a more recently made one.

I have a few. Does the “stirrup” thingy on the Okapis count?

The What-a-Knife is somewhat well known, but Camillus also made a bailed version called a Dura-Tool.

I think those are super cool and yours look to be in great condition.

Thanks! I bought it new old stock. Maybe I shouldn't have taken it out of the blister-pack, but what's done is done.

The bail is absolutely the only thing those three have in common! Nice variety.
