Beautiful! I think I left that stag EO 85 at your house on accident, though. If you could please send it home, I'd be very appreciative... ;)
 
Fine example that EZ Open Stag.:thumbup: I have the No.4 of that run, gets a lot of use.

Here's one with Vintage Aspirations...

Thanks Dan. The QCCC Queens are knives with a lot of gravitas, I particularly like the Ebony one. Here it is again with Greenbone and Winterbottom, at the back a Teardrop linerlock in D2 with ACSB scales, a knife I'm really fond of. Notice that Queen gets the pins flush on its wooden handled knives, GEC often puts out sink-holes....

Many thanks, Will

Pal
Long Pull Camillus

Robeson

The Pal on top is the strongest, stoutest traditional that I've ever owned. Built like a tank and snaps open and closed like a bear trap. It's the knife I always throw in my pocket whenever I plan to be outside for any length of time--lawn work, hiking, metal detecting, etc.
 
Here are five (5) I scored and awaiting four (4) in the mail. A special shout out to Derek over at JBF Champlin and Trand for the great #85 EO...Thanks everyone.

Not vintage, but I really like this pattern. I wish the I could have the #85 shaped blade in that QCCC body. I love the swell of that handle. I would like to get some older examples in my collection tho...

Received this old Valley Forge this week, fairly worn but still has plenty of life left.

Nice Queen, Joker (that 85EO ain't too shabby either ;) )!

Augie, the Valley Forge looks like a wonderful old knife. I really like the clip main on that one!
 
Glad to see this thread bumped up. I missed it first time around. Some mighty fine old/new teardrops in this thread!

Here are a couple of mine.
