Jos, great score. I especially like the large fixed blade (Gudy) and the Navaja (Gudy).

What a haul. Some nice folders & that large fixed blade really stands out. Would love to see more pic's. Did you get that wood box also ? Does the Gudy Van Poppel folders have a button lock similar to Brian Tighe or William Henry ?

Did you get that wood box also ? Does the Gudy Van Poppel folders have a button lock similar to Brian Tighe or William Henry ?

Yep. That wood box is for the large folder under it on the pic.

The Van Poppel folders actually have a liner lock that's activated with the button. So it's not the same system as on the William Henry folders.

Kind regards,

Jos

If i ever came out of an even with THAT many knives, id be a happy man. While none are totally my taste I like the two autos on bottum left.

 

[kamagong]

Jos, you did REAL good! Very nice acquisitions indeed.

Wow! Nice haul. If I came home with all those knives, I might as well build a new doghouse out back for myself. LOL
