Jason! That´s really a beauty. Has the mainblade been a wharnecliffe or was it a sheepfoot, which has been grinded at anyway (if you know that)?

Kind regards

Jake, that knife is so cool. Love that split spring.

Thank you, Glenn. This is my first from Wester Bros and I'm impressed. The pulls are perfect on all three blades despite the complicated mechanics. And the blades are sharp even though there's not really much of an edge bevel-- great full grind.

I like the tip bolsters and the long pulls cut through the tangs on both blades.

Charles, is the sticker part of a personal inventory system?

 

[chuko]

Yes, I keep a log that corresponds with the numbering. Charles

Seeing as this thread hasn't been updated in a few days, I mine as well with this Pal Easy Open I received today. Great snap on both blades, no play and minimal blade loss. Love the color of the scales as well.

Its a dandy vanguard. Interesting as well, I've never seen one without a bail. Does it have a half stop on the main blade? Mine only has one on the pen blade. Just noticed it has a long pull and swedge action too!!

Half stops on both blades. This one was not made for the military, so I believe that is why it doesn't have a bail.

Here is mine. I never posted it in this thread. Interesting to compare side by side.

Joesph Law, 13 Spring Ln. Sheffield

I just google maps that address and was disappointed by what I saw on street view.

Thats a great looking knife!

 

[Vanguard41xx]

Two more I got in the mail today. A Germania Cutlery Works and a Schrade. I really like both. The germania has an enormous snap, and takes a lot of force to open. Not bad for a few dollars.

An Ulster with bear trap snap

 

[Vanguard41xx]

I like that shield on the Ulster a lot Lamertiana.

 

[Campbellclanman]

I agree Vanguard, actually the rest of that Ulster is simply beautiful, that's simply a lovely old knife in wonderful condition.
