This is one sweet knife, Ron!!! Congratulations...wow!
 
Ron A super find I'll say!:thumbup::thumbup: I've been looking for a used Dixie myself as it has such nice blades (but I can't bring myself to bring my Blackwood Northfield into service) and is a strong favourite of mine. Kind of knife you could take on a 6 month trek and never find yourself short of edge power:D

Regards, Will

1902 - 2002 S&M Horn with MOP inlay all nickel silver Bolster, lanyard hole & pins Deep Centenary Etch on the mark side and the action is smooth as Buttermilk ... obviously some extra attention went into the F&F of these...

Sweet knife! I never have seen one of those before, based on the Mountain Man pattern? Have to keep an eye open for one.
 
I should have had something alongside these two #98 Whittlers as a size reference since they are Godzilla size.
Maybe the button helps, but by now you all probably know the 98 frame.

Very cool.
 
Here's my haul this week. Ray Cover Sr. amber stag hunter, and a Fiddleback Forge 12" Machete. They actually make a good pair for heading into the woods!

Jamie Yes Jamie exact same size.

@Harry I'm with you ... occasionally I back off to a 72/73 size knife but the larger folders like the queen Mountain Man pattern and the GEC 42 tick more boxes for me.

@Frank R ... the Telecom knife is unusual - I got it to modify ... Like the T29 electrician knives this seemed to be a good base to start on customizing - but now I have it in hand I am reluctant to mess with it.

The Esquire has really grown on me over time. Love the bone on that one. Is it calico?

It's a peculiarly busy knife, with lots of branding and bevels and fluting and that aggressive wormgroove jigging. It's much less sleek than the single-bladers I usually go for, with its exposed joint and big ol' fin of a blade (which, odder still, has that extra bevel that keeps it from being pinchable, despite there being ample blade for pinching). I've been waffling about buying one for the past three months or so.

But somehow it just works. I couldn't get the damned thing out of my head! :D

I love the chunky, beveled bolsters, and the matching bevels on the covers. The wormgroove, which I find tends to look unappealing in sales photos, is beautiful in person. Fit and finish are the best I've seen on any of the S&M knives I own/have owned, and I love ATS-34 steel.

I believe it is. It hadn't been on my radar for a long time but recently I have been on a small knife kick and I love the mini sleeve board design. The jeweling along the liners and bolsters is the icing on the cake!
