Bob you have a great bunch of knives. I really like that spear looking blade on the one.
Yep that one is stag, I would have thought the two you pointed out are from the pics,if I had not read that.Good looking knives.

Hey knifetime...
Here's two pics I took that are poor examples at best. I ment to take better pics but I talked to my pal Scott Rauber in Fla. and he's going to research the numbers for me and he'll probably post them for me to. It's nice knowing such an honest and knowlegable knife
dealer that is a true profesional!!
Here's the pics anyway...

Yes sir, the Barlow is in fact Appalosa Bone!! FYI, all three Case knives are on their way to Scott in Fla., hopefully to fetch top dollar! The Barlow and Copper Head are in SUPER MINT CONDITION!!! Please contact Scott or follow E-Bay if your interested in a purchase...
I hated to sell them but my medical bills are stacking up and I need the green!! ::mdm::
I drove for the first time Friday to my Doctor's office visit and the best news is I've quit the cigs, booze and I've lost 80 pounds all in three months!! ::ds:: ::ds::

Here`s an 8" knife that is both legendary and revered to the Italian collectors and switchblade historians , it was offered as a mail order in field & stream , Outdoor life etc. magazines in the mid 1950s but most ( if you actually received it ) weren't stamped " BLACK BEAUTY" , this one is and makes it very special and a somewhat rare bird.

That Black Beauty is a great knife. Looks to in good shape too. A few years back I found a 13 manual Black Beauty at a local gun show.

I thought I would add a knife to this thread. Some of you have probably seen it before, but it is a cool, hard to find, Latama.

Trying to decide what to do with this auto and need to know the "Who, What & When" info. I believe it to be Italian made as I can make out Maniago in cursive script on the blade, above that is a faint ???Vernier. Any clues? Thanks!
