Hard to follow the beautiful knives shown already. ::tu::

Here's my H. Boker and Alfred Blackwell Sheffield. The Blackwell is one of my favorites, very well made. Oops, forgot to open it, you'll have to take my word that the blades are fairly full with light pitting.

Same here, Mike. Not many knife collectors out here in this part of the Great White North so this is where I get to show off!
These may have been posted a while back, so sorry for the duplication. These two pics are of knives that Blue Ridge got from the Factory collection breakup (sniff).

smoke, they date to the early twenties as far as i know.


i don't know what value to place on one. condition will play a part. show us your new knife. they are rare enough. paknives has one, and i have seen pics of others. i paid $80 for mine a couple of years ago.
