What a wonderful late night treat, Lyle!! Does that sumptuous beauty have a bad side...I think not!! Thanks for sharing that Sow Belly of all Sow Bellies
 
Like Jack said, clearly a special knife - what a treasure - has it Stans name on the liner at all - or does he not do that with his later work?
The 02 may be the year? That really is a knife I would treasure for life!
Lyle, I hope the foot gets better Sir.( not dropping any open knives on feet are you Lyle? )

This printer is pretty nice Charlie,no cover just me holding the knife. Duncan,as you can see,I don't think this is a later work. The foot was burned badly when a pressure canner exploded,thankfully it just got my hand and foot.

Beautiful knife Mike,nicely embellished.:thumbup:

Steve you have an enviable collection of exquisite knives and a very nice Saynor farmers jack.:)
 
I am overwhelmed and humbled by the quality of stuff shown on this thread. My modest contribution shows two very small knives one marked ABRAM / BROOKSBANK / SHEFFIELD with the "DEFIANCE" stamp and the other simply BROOKSBANK / SHEFFIELD.

That Wendall Carson is fantastic. I love the shield. Looks like a piece of horn

Very nice Schatt indeed!
 
Thanks for the kind words fellas. I used to have a dozen or so of Wendell's knives.
The bark ivory trapper is the only one I have left. So many knives, only so much money.:(:D
