Group Photo

[sheathmaker]

I finally got all my pre-auction and shortly thereafter knives together for a group photo.

All these knives are brand new, never used or carried, and were safely out the factory door pre Taylor.

I really don't collect in the true sense, but I do like the trapper patterns and other oddities like the Muskrat, and the Barlow, Electricians knife etc.

The two serrated spay blade trappers were of particular interest to me, as was the black Cope Muskrat with the gut hook. Most of the handles on these LTDs are bone or some really nice fine wood. The 96OT and the Muskrat are derlin for sure, and I think the yellow handle trapper and the Electrician are also.

I'd look forward to any comments you might have.

Nice looking knives. I really like the trapper knives the best.

Fine grouping. I like the Trappers and the black delrin "muskrat" with the gut-hook looks good/useful too!

Paul, that's a mighty fine collection there!! The barehead sawbladed knife is an interesting one, can't say as I've ever seen that model before.

Eric, the barehead sawblade is marked Schrade+ USA LTD, and that's it. I don't know, but it could be a "last days" parts knife out the door just before the bankruptcy auction. In fact, several of those are marked Schrade USA LTD with no pattern number.
