Amazing knife. Love the scratting, and the one-arm is just cool.

Stuck at home with the virus and pulled out a box which hadn't been open for some time. I have always loved real Hen & Roosters and here are a selection from when Mr. AG Russell owned the factory. Although I am sure there are others out there, the boxed set of 5 us the only one I have come across. They are definately on the tiny side of things at 2.5". 3.5 KaBar for comparison.

It's interesting to see scratting appearing in modern times!!

The three on the left are from the 1800s; the large one on the right appeared in a 1911 catalog - the latest example I've seen until GEC did the ancients for me, in 2016!! Below.

These Case barlows needed some air as well. The one arm is a 1970 (maybe 71, dots are small) and the spear main is a USA era example. Both never used but the one arm suffered a bit of poor storage over its 50+ years. I must also lodge a complaint that the sawcut marks on the spear point are not noticeable,it is like smooth bone. When will Case of the late 60s get it right? I do make myself laugh. Gorgeous bone on both.

I love these, but they were before I discovered GEC. I've never seen one in person, but I'd like to someday.

I don't recall ever seeing a set like that. Very nice. H&R put out some nice knives. What's the cover of the box look like?

Edit: Almost forgot. Get well soon
At least you're at home and not in the hospital
