Funny but there is a line for that one, must have been asked by 10 guys to let them know if I want to sell it! I love the darn thing too!

Nice to see this old thread come back up to the top! There are so many more beautiful knives posted since this thread started it's hard to choose just one 8)

But, I am going to nominate this one from the Sheffield Exhibition thread! ::drool:: ::drool:: ::drool::

Lee I have to agree with you on the Empire tuxedo! That knife made a large imprint in my brain from the first time Mike posted it. ::tu::

I’d say this thread has better looking content than an art gallery.

Going back over this thread for the first time in awhile and trying not to drool on the keyboard. Way too many nice knives here.
Thought I would put this one in as one of my favorite knives in my accumulation. Bought from Mike DeFeo from New Hampshire who used to write articles for several knife magazines. Paid more money for it than any other knife I had at the time(it was still a deal)and never regretted it. Many years later I wound up with a Penn Cutlery deer foot knife that he had written an article about in a magazine.Got it from someone else. Don't think Mike kept knives very long.
Anyway here it is:A Press Button Knife Co. one armed man's knife with the A.A.Marks etch still visible on the blade.
