Diamonds in the Rough!

[Cscholl17]

Holy Cow Philllll what a nice collection you're putting together! And darn it where can I find nice old examples like that.....any estate sale I go to ends up having junk for knives. Blades broken off or pen blades that look more like leather punches now

 

[philllll]

Just gotta be in the right place, at the right time, with the right amount of cash in your wallet!

That is a beautiful DE Jack Dave! The Schrade peach seed jigging is spectacular. The condition is just superb. What a great score my friend

Very Nice, Dave!!

These may have been seen before, but the scans are new. Shapleigh Diamond Edge LB Hunters,
made by Empire. These Art Deco-style saddlehorns were part of a brave entry into modern styling, blended with tradition, IMO. Not hugely embraced at the time, they are rare now!

 

[Campbellclanman]

Oh Charlie, Those are something that a collector ( me being a "so called collector ") dreams of.

I enjoy it so much when you put up SUCH treasures such as these, otherwise someone like myself would never see such amazing High end Beauties - Charlie my friend Thank you!

 

[philllll]

I love those hunters Charlie, and the Bose/Case knife they inspired!

 

[knowtracks]

Great Scan Charlie!!
Love the turquoises! It adds some more class to the scene!

Wonderful small Whittler Phil A vintage Whittler is hard to beat and a welcomed addition to any collection especially my collection! Lloyd

Maher and Grosh is doing something very similar with a #54. I believe it is in production now at GEC.

Phil, Dave and Charlie, BEAUTIFUL Diamonds

This is very similar to Dave's wonderful Jack but a Spear versus Clip. Dusk was controlling what light I had left. The color of the Bone is similar to Dave's as well.
