Rare knives...

You truly have a remarkable collection, Bryon. This 35 is really drool 🤤 worthy.

Much appreciated, Paul! I've enjoyed collecting knives as well as the connections and friendships made over the years. That 35 is one of my favorites from the 🐘 stash!

For vintage knives one of the rarest are the Nagle Reblade Company knives, only in business 1916 and 1917 if I'm remembering right. A knife design you could swap blades.

That Nagle is a stunner, John...How's the fit/action on the blades when installed in the frame? Did they make those "Automotive Kits" with the various interchangeable blades in a roll-up or folding pouch?

The action and fit is just like any other vintage jack, excellent, you can't even tell the blades are replaceable. They did not have an automotive kit as far as I know.

Picture of salesman sample blade selection, not my picture.
