great weekend for knife-shopping

Pic shows, L to R, Lord knows, Imperial RI Boy Scout Knife, Hibbard, Spencer & Bartlett stockman w/awl instead of pen, Royal Brand Cutlery co, and A Field Co Progress.

Sorry about the pic- should have waited for daylight. But also Schrade slim trapper with slightly damaged blades.

Nice finds, I especially love the Jack (Royal Brand Cutlery Co.) I went hunting today myself, but I came up empty. Glad to see that the luck was with someone today.

Thanks, Deadfall- I like that little Royal too.
Here's a better picture.

I think the big one was made from scratch by someone with workmanlike rather than artisanal skills. This is an attempt to show the hand-hammered look of the inside of the spring. You can just about make out a couple of the wrinkles.
