Your RJ Martin-Loveless model must be very collectable, Murray.

Received this one a couple weeks ago, already posted in Joe's Fighters thread but it should be OK here, too.

since my last post, the Ron Frazier small dagger has found a new home.

However, it is time to add a few more knives from the past that are still part of our collection.

this should do for a bit anyway.

Always fun to see knives by the long time makers and from so many that are no longer with us. It is quite amazing to think of all the fun had in collecting over the past 34 years.
 
I know this is an old thread, but I like old knives.

I reposted some of my Valachovic knives after Photobuicket deleted them from this and other threads.
