Re: Holley Mfg. Co., Lakeville, Conn.
Thanks guys, just got the radiology report and have a root torn meniscus and some floaters, should be fixable. Soon as I can will take pictures of the knife, it deserves it.
Re: Holley Mfg. Co., Lakeville, Conn.
JohnR, sorry for the bum knee. I understand, I have 2 new ones. Money well spent. Glad you have that Holley to handle until you feel better.
Re: Holley Mfg. Co., Lakeville, Conn.
Was able to hobble around and take a few pics, for me the best part of this knife is the clip main with a swedge that goes almost tip tp tang, don't think I have another knife done this way in the collection. The shield is unique also. Blades are full, looks like had little use but has had rust cleaned off and does have pin crack on pile side.
Thanks for everyone's well wishes, had a positive doctors visit yesterday and may be able to avoid surgery, had a shot and start PT next week.

Beautiful knife, John and nice pictures. Thank you.
That swedge just flows in that last picture.

Thank you Joe and Roger, I got to experiment with lighting and exposure to get details like the swedge sharper and clearer.

Thank you all for the nice comments. Lee, thought the knee was going to be ok but it could not handle one day back at work before pain and swelling started up again so I am now waiting on a date for Doc to scope it and see what's going on and what he can fix.LongBlade wrote:Nice Holley John ...

Re: Holley Mfg. Co., Lakeville, Conn.
John I guess I haven't been paying attention lately. So sorry to hear about your mobility problems.Modern medicine does some amazing things these days so I hope you get fixed up pretty quick. All that stuff still hurts though. I wish you a speedy recovery. And what a great knife. At least knee problems haven't affected your Knife eye.

Here's a little Holley Boys Knife I got in today.
It's in great condition as is its big brother that I am showing in comparison.
While these two were catching frogs their older, more sophisticated sibling was
catching trout on river.

Here is a little one I just picked up,2 1/4 inches. The pouch is worse for wear but the knife is in pretty good shape.

Wow - What a cool pattern and lovely knife Bill ... I think they call these little oval shaped handles knives “butter bean”.. and the 2 wharncliffe blades are very cool on this knife!!
