Geeze Gus when I first read the post I thought you said he sent these knives to you for your opinion.After I looked at the knives I thought Dave had lost his mind then I thought read the post again and it made more sense.He does have a few nice pieces there does he not?

Gus:

That is a fantastic collection of knives. I was sent photos of the Onion, and the Emerson Pre-Tac as well. Just for the record the serial number on the Emerson is 001, rather than 3001.

That is the first Emerson Pre-Tac I've ever seen that is numbered.

Also for the record, the owner states that the Emerson is not for sale.


I really don't think the Owner is necessarily wanting to stay anonomous, as I believe most of these knives are probably for sale. Anyone, who has looked at most of the fine knife purveyors sites should recognize the photography with the several colors of leather backgrounds in the photos!

Did not think it would take long for someone to catch on.

I think Dave sent me the pictures with an OK to post them so that people could enjoy them without too much of a plug.
