I talked to Levine and asked his permission to post this info. He said to "go for it". Coming from the Grand Poobah himself.
This would be some good info to save.
How about some Club Knives next?
More Later.

Another one that you will seldom see. I Copperheaded Coke Bottle Whittler from Bryan.
Most likely a one of a kind. One of a few at most.
More Later.

What a great whittler pattern.

This Slant Bolstered Stockman for the AECA is one of the patterns that replaced the original LI-5. A square bolstered Junior Stockman.

I recently picked up this barlow from the Effingham era.

Another Coke Bottle Pig Sticker for the AMKCA. Some mighty nice bone.

You won't see many Cripple Creek Razor patterns.

I have just received some more Smoke Signals from Shane Stone and Bryan. I will be posting them soon. I didn't know these issues
even existed. Quite a score!

Some Killer Stag on this Club Knife for the AECA. A 4 1/4 inch Trapper. And the 4 3/4" Saddle Horn Trapper for Kansas City's Club Knife is exceptional.

Without paying to upgrade your account, you can't post photos directly into a thread. However, you can upload photos to another site (like Imgur for example) and then link the photos to your post.

There are several Cripple Creek knives that recognize noteworthy individuals and events from the past. Mainly American Indians but there are others like
George Rogers Clark. I guess now would be as good a time as any to begin showing the info on these knives and the knives themselves.
There are only 5 different trappers in this series. There are only 25 of each.
The Indian Lore of Indiana knives were a set Cargill built for a gentleman in Indiana. Each one represents a noteworthy person or event.
To date,
Greg
