Very nice collection. I am curious about the pair of square bolster stockmans all the way to the right, what are their blade configurations?

 

[philllll]

Thanks Paul! The stockmans both have a punch.

Philllll, Those Stockman's are simply Beautiful!

Fantastic! Where the heck do you all find knives like these? I've looked in antique shops around here and all I find is knives that are garbage or overpriced, and usually both.

The hunt is half the fun!

I used to look all over, but gave up. That was a few years ago at least. Maybe I should start looking again. Something could be out there. The last potential find I found was a really old Winchester barlow. Good condition blades, perfect walk-and-talk, but had a badly repaired cracked handle and wasn't worth $170.

Cool graphics also! Is that WJ in the book??

Surprisingly it's not! I will have to look again though. Reading through the knife section was a bit overwhelming!

Here's the first couple pages of the knife section. I love the color pages.

Phil,

Absolutely splendid! I spent 10 minutes looking over and examining these 4 pages. Good Lord help me if I ever got my hands on an entire catalogue....

Fourscore and six years ago. Great language.

That's some early jigging from somewhere on those Schrade knives.
