More exotic shields...

I like this one on the Rough Rider Canoe. It makes the knife look classier than a RR has a right to.

These Bulldog knives came in a variety of shields , I've seen hearts , clubs, diamonds etc. One here has a heart the other an acorn.

An unusual one on old knives was the battle axe shield - I think I've seen it on both NYKCo and WHMorley knives. Maybe I've got a pic around somewhere.

An NYKCo equal end whittler.

Now THAT is a cool shield. My Viking ancestors just stirred in their graves.
