Harry, the 14's are somewhat addictive. You have some nice knives

Thank you very much Jerry . I agree on them being addictive . I actually only went 1 over my original intent. I got 1 extra Cripple Creek , the Elderberry .

Of the six I reserved, I kept Barry's and Lyle's. They have been far more popular than I expected.

old post I know but what model Schrade is that?

It's an oldie... found it in the 1930 Schrade catalog supplement; Model #2723. It's a c.1930 to 1946

Most people, when being honest with themselves, would admit that one of the prime motors for collecting and or carrying Traditional knives hinges on aesthetics. This is no flippant thing either as there's more than sufficient ugliness in day to day life anyway. Here, you see simplicity matched with proportional beauty and true finesse. The Shadow pattern in a beautiful colour and material, augmented by the Bird's Eye pivot and simple yet correctly worked pins. This is taken further when you consider the shape of the Wharncliffe which corresponds in shape and size to the handle itself. Its innate power is highlighted finally by the very effective contrast between Damascus blade/spring and bright liner plates. All this in such a small frame is astounding.

Yes, beauty is a huge lure in Traditional knives, plus enormous variety in blades, patterns, methods etc but this remarkable knife looks like it is a very satisfying and effective knife to use and own, ultimately, this achieves all that a knife should .

In appreciation, Will

Just when I thought it wasn't possible to be more passionate... Will just made me want to BUY MORE KNIVES! Let's go!!! (Great Post Will )

That’s Savannah! When we adopted her, everybody thought she would be about 70 pounds. Apparently, she didn’t get the the memo and is 98 pounds!

I posted this one in the stag thread but at just shy of 3 1/4" it qualifies as small. A great little WT from Joel Chamblin.
