Two new arrivals this week. Both need a little TLC, but should make for fine users.
A little Landers Frary & Clark in mother of pearl, just a hair under 3 inches closed.
An OVB by Hibbard Spencer Bartlett. It's a shame that someone tried to engrave their initials in the bar shield, not to mention the broken blade (which I can still open, so it'll make a fine little coping blade) Nice ebony, no blade wobble. I didn't even notice when I bid on it that it's got a double nick/pull on the main blade. I don't have any other knives like that. It's nifty!

Cool R8shell! That OVB like you say with the pull and the Nail Nick is pretty cool - that would have been a classy Knife when released- so neat to see the love that someone had for the use of their Knife that they kept it all that time and got so much out of it, then comes R8shell - who seems to turn them around and give them that new lease of life!
Always great to see!!

One of the great advantages of Google Duncan

. Who knows if I would've ever found that bit of info without the internet. The search and discovery of information is very satisfying.

Found this one at an antique place today and I knew I'd regret if I walked away from it.
