From Straight to E: the Missing Links

[Andrew Lynch]

Recently, one of 1WhoBuy's pictures re-sparked my interest in the missing links between the straight handles and the ergonomic handles.

I have several pics of what I feel are the "missing links" between the SH's and the E's, or atleast seem to be similar to both. Some are quite early pics, and show Jerry's early interest in the advantages of a dropped handle.

The missing links :

Andrew,
Great pics.

I've just added one to the Pic archive you might like a look at. A SH SH with quilted Micarta, I didn't think they even existed

Mike, I think those are a few SH's that flew across the globe to live with Aubrey

Nice pics Andrew!
