Hi Mike,
Yes, I see that some of these knives have changed hands over the years. The second "Our Best" knife you've posted I may have brought to the Oregon show about twenty something years ago. I always kicked myself for letting that one go.
or one very similar. Did we trade for a switch? I was into Schrades at the time. I don't recall. Jerry Skelton bought my most of collection (god rest his soul) one year there. That's when I turned my focus to Henckels. The one next to the folding guard with the threaded bolsters looks early. What do you think? Pre 1890?
