B-Dog, I love the lines on that Gerber. It is unique to me. Please tell us more. What's the pattern name/number, overall length, steel type and country of manufacturer?View attachment 876767 Unused with paperwork dated 1975,I couldn’t resist.
Three nice looking acquisitions my friend . Did you like the show enough to want to go back next year ????My catches from the Badger Knife Club show this past weekend:

From the top, a Dave Ricke custom, Hibbard Spencer Bartlett Hardware serpentine 2 blade Jack with exquisite celluloid scales, and a 1980 Case Appaloosa 2 blade Torpedo Jack.
I liked it very much Harry and plan to go again. I had a good talk with Mr. Nowland. He didn't have much left by Saturday afternoon but we spent time looking at his gallery of knives. I think I will be buying something from him. (Heard you have something on order tooThree nice looking acquisitions my friend . Did you like the show enough to want to go back next year ????

I think that would be a great move on your part !!!! I did get to talk with Rick Nowland early on Friday when he had a number of knives on hand . Every one was a Jewel too . My problem with most of his and others is that they are Too Short . I prefer something 3 & 5/8 to 4 & 1/4 . I believe that Rick Nowland , Ken Coates , & Mike Zcherney all could make me a very fine knife at a reasonable price . I showed each of them one of my knives that I would like to be Almost Copied . That is something that has been banging around more in my mind .I liked it very much Harry and plan to go again. I had a long talk with Mr. Nowland.

I got the idea that Rick is willing to work with the customer. Have you asked him about a knife in that size range?I think that would be a great move on your part !!!!

I've never handled an AG Russell knife that wasn't of the best quality.
I remember seeing your pic because I thought it was from the CM series but I was wrong. Nice score!I've got one arriving tomorrow. A 1976 Bicentennial folder.
In the dictionary there is a definition for the word 'funky'. I think this says it better. I know there were several size/variations of the Schrade wire Jack. This one is 3 3/16" closed. I couldn't resist it. I cleaned it, put an edge on it and oiled it.
Now, does anyone know how to date this one? All help and comments appreciated.
