First is a pocket carried GEC Powderhorn. Pulls a 7. Never sharpened but has had some light use opening letters and slicing apples. It's beautiful. Asking $65 Shipped Cont. U.S.
Next is a Cocobolo Calf roper. It's a interesting knife. I bought it from a member here and it has a heck of a patina. All blades pull a 5. Used a little and has some touches of pitting on the small blades. The scales have darkened considerably and it looks more like brown ebony than cocobolo. I suspect the owner before me accidentally ebonized the wood by submerging the entire knife in vinegar. I don't know, just guessing. Anyway, as bad as that stuff sounds, the knife is really beautiful and looks like it is an antique. people will ask you how old it is! Asking $SOLD shipped cont. U.S.
Last is a Queen gunstock with yellow delrin type scales. This is a fantastic knife with exceptional craftsmanship for Queen. These sell for $35 new. If you don't buy mine, I would highly recommend you give one a try. I got mine from one of our great traditional dealers here on BF. I don't know if I got the cream of the crop or if they are all this good but it's by far the nicest Queen out of the last four I have purchased. Anyway, I'm asking $SOLD shipped cont. U.S.
