Coke bottle hunters, big and small, have always intrigued me. I have however avoided collecting them, having to draw the line somewhere!! Nonetheless, a few have come my way, in the process of collecting brands. I suspect many of you have some beauties out there in www land, so please show us your Cokes!!
To kick it off, here's my group. Older, they fit my Ulster and Empire collections.

An Ulster, and three Empires.
Here I blew up the jigging on the bone handles for comparison, as they look related.

Nice mx2! Like my small one, for small mammal hunting:D:D!
Case should do more Damascus!
 
Here is my only one. If it was any other brand I would have traded it long ago. There is a member of my local club who is fanatic about coke bottles.

Buhl Sons is pretty rare, Rivit. You don't see a match strike too often, but out hunting, it makes sense.
 
I've posted this before, but I have the Henckels cokebottle on the left.

I like the swedges on the Buhl.
 
Here's my only Coke Bottle. It is the newer style and is a whopping 5 1/2" closed. It was made by Joe Allen, and would be among one of the last of my custom knives I would part with if forced to thin my collection.
