The coin thread--post pictures of your traditional knives with a coin

Thanks for reviving the thread, Will.

I received this 2 francs coin and the other pictured goodies from my friend, Jolipapa in France.

James, those are very appealing pen knives! :thumbup: What model(s) are they? That top one with the spear main and ebony(?) covers really gets my motor running and heading out on the highway!! :D

Thanks GT, those are both 68s and the top one has buffalo horn handles. Being called "White Owls" they remind me of my grandfather. He carried a spear point pen knife and smoked one White Owl cigar a day... everyday.
He had an old saying I just made up that says "One who is able to carve his own coins will always have that going for him." ;) :)
 
David Your coins from Antiquity are astonishing! Knives aren't so poor either....:D

Thanks, Will
 
Nice thread.... like the knives and coin mix... here is an old George Woodhead Bowie with a few quid tossed around in the foreground - took this photo long ago but think the photo fits here :)

 
Magnificent composition Macchina :thumbup: Wonderful blue slate colour, gives those Dollars a real bloom.:)

Regards, Will

Thanks for the ID, James. :thumbup: I actually guessed right in the privacy of my own mind. A couple of White Owls share a birthday with me, and I do like the spear point pen knives (like your grandfather), so maybe I'll try to track down one of those some day. I enjoyed your grandpa's wise saying, whoever actually said it! ;)


Here's another knife and coin photo. I try to remember to run a penny through those souvenir "crushers" whenever I get the chance. The Big Daddy Barlow is courtesy of New Daddy Shawn last summer! :thumbup:;)
