Nice work!
How long did it take you to find them all?

I suppose that by now you have read Dennis' article of research on the Black Beauty series, but for those who have not, it is an interesting read:

Thanks, Phil. It took just over a year. I guess it would have taken a lot less time had I been willing to pay top dollar, but I'm tight The hardest one to find was the little F28.

Michael, yes I have read it and it is very informative.

Very nice collection. I have a collection of the wood handled Westerns and think they are fine knives.
