Mike and Roger, I could look at those knives all day. Such a pleasure to look at.
All that early stuff is so special but those New York knives are over the top to me.
Great show guys, thank you. ::tu:: ::tu::

Here's a fixed blade etch, these etches were very light and usually wore off quickly, this one is still intact :D

Wow, all beautiful knives that the knife dealers were proud enough to add a little reminder of how good they were and went a little farther to let us know it. Thanks for sharing them with us.____Dave

Not sure the definition of vintage anymore . Think these will fit here other than the newer battle axe .
MB, nice to see someone added Craftsman . And that last fixed blade you posted is something else!!
