Great assortment. I like the Spydercos in particular! Makes me think I should post up a photo of all of mine...

Here's a Miller Brother's lockback with a skinning tool on the end. Only made for a few years. 7 inches closed.
Also a couple of bone New York Knife Co. lockbacks, some stag Henckels and a Napanoch.

Thanks guys for the nice comments. Mark, Henckels quit making its own pocketknives around 1960. The swing guard is probably pre WWI.

You need to move to Arkansas. Not only can anyone who can legally own a firearm can carry it concealed without a license, they can carry any blade, pocket knife, bowie knife, straight razor, sword or sword cane with total impunity...

Gerber 1052 LB stag. Great little knife, bank vault lock up and no wobble but smooth easy pivot. And my fave GEC #85 with it.

Your Queen sort of took my breath away. I guess I just wasn't expecting so much Winterbottom goodness in one place.

Me too, thanks Quick. That one came from one of the Hawaiian Islands courtesy of Volcano Q. Seemed prettier than any other winter bottom I could find.
