Thanks, Dave. It's a 36-year-old knife I found in mint condition in it's original box at a gun show. Most of the time it's a "cigar box queen", but I gotta carry it sometimes.

Trust me, my friend, you might just as well carry it, as time goes by really fast once you pass sixty. :eek: Then all of a sudden you wonder what to do with all the knives you've collected. I'm speaking for myself though. :p
 
Great knife John.I wish you were hunting knives for me instead of competing John. Did you see that Queen you needed on eBay?

That is a nice knife and photo P John.

The Fish Trapper showed up today, has had little to no use, great bone and love the fish shield. I understand these were only made for a few years in the 1950's.

That's a very nice example that I would not mind adding to my meager collection.
 
Well it took me about a week but I went through all the 87 pages. Pretty much lost track of everything else going on but it was such a treat to see all the wonderful knives and gain all the valuable information that was shared. My finger kept reaching for the like button but I would have overwhelmed Charlie and all the other contributors showing their rare and beautiful knives. Schrade's peachseed jigging is my absolute favorite and I could just keep looking and looking. Such a shame that we lost so many pictures to photobucket. Thanks to our good friend paulhilborn paulhilborn , he was kind enough to give me the opportunity to own this beauty. I have added a little patina to it. Sorry guys but I couldn't resist. I really enjoy pocketing and using these old works of art.IMG_5284.PNG IMG_5285.PNG
 
Hey! That was my knife ready to be sent to NZ!
:D:D

No seriously- I know Paul would have had a hard time letting that one go - but to such a good guy who owns it now I am sure that made it easier :thumbsup:

Fantastic Jerome:thumbsup: I am so glad it is yours now. I love the fact that you'll carry it every now and then. I understand both sides of carry or not to carry discussions;) I use but resist strenuous use for such a great vintage knife. You are spot on about Schrade vintage peachseed, one can just sit and stare in amazement:):thumbsup:
