Bob Cargill Liner Lock

[mckgreg]

Bob is widely know for his slip joints, so when I saw this fella I had to have it for my collection. This is the only liner lock knife that I have seen of Bob's.

Me too Greg and it is beautiful. Nice snag!

I believe that is a Walrus Ivory inlay. I guess that I should add that the knife is about 5 1/4" closed and has a bit of heft to it. Not a small knife by any means. I am not sure who did the engraving. May have been Cargill. Probably made around '95. Glad you enjoy it Bastid!

Very special and nice. Does this mean that you'll have to sell one of your Cripple Creeks to make room in your safe for the new beauty queen?

 

[mckgreg]

Nope.

Guess I better show ya a few of the pearl ones.

Boing! (Pushing my eyeballs back into their sockets). I didn't realize there were that many styles. That's no personal collection--it looks like you're running a big time museum. Nice.

Thanks for the interest "toothed" ! As long as I am showin' off here, I will include a pic of the Original Ten Little Indians. This was a dealer set and all of them are 81's. The first year of Cripple Creek. They start off with Indian #10 on the top left and go to #1 on the bottom right.

Thanks Greg. I've heard about the Little Indians but have never seen them all (and in one place). I like the one in the top row at the far right--looks like a swell-center whittler.

 

[mckgreg]

Yep, it's a swell center whittler. Nice little piece.
