That is a real beauty, Lloyd, and great dialog. ::tu::
Thanks for showing that special knife here.

Ray, you're right, that stockman is in great shape.
The German jack doesn't look too bad either and neither does the jack you posted previously.

I remember seeing that salesman case some time ago.

Thank you, Ray.

That thing is a beauty, Roger. Wow, that is really nice!

I see that tag marked 45. I will gladly give you 45 bucks for it, matter of fact, I will send you a Ulysses and you can keep the change. ::ds:: ::rotflol::

Seriously, that is a superb knife.

Just got a call from my mother. This little beauty just showed up at her house. ::super_happy:: That's the third knife I have at her house now. Hope she mails them to me soon. ::hmm:: That also means I'm collecting knives on two continents. :mrgreen: ::tu::

Anyways, it's a (1950's?) Shapleigh Hdwr. Dimond Edge Serpentine Pen Knife 2 3/4 inches (made by Schrade Walden). I hope you enjoy the pictures and If anyone knows more about this knife than I do, I'd love to hear it. ::tu::

Thanks for putting that nice little Shapleigh DE in here, Tom.
It is a beauty. A great little carry, I'm sure.

It would also look nice in Lee's " Homage to Traditional Pen Knives" thread if you were so inclined.
