I haven’t posted in a while, so I thought I would share a photo of my collection of Grizzly’s along side of the knife I believe is the tribute to them, the Schatt & Morgan Model #71. I picked up the S&M from Plumbob’s store here at AAPK. They are Pearl Shockwood scales on the #71, never heard of them before this, but pretty cool. I love the stag on the Grizzly with the worn blade, is sweet. Hope you guys like the shot, some good knife porn. Ill put some more stuff up, I always likes this particular topic. We used to have one a few years ago called something like “Postman delivered this today”
and we would post our deliveries of knives when they came. My eyes are bad I am getting old, but I looked could not find. I don’t think I have the name of the topic correct either. Someone will remember. Thanks men for looking.

I had a few more autos I wanted to share with you men. First we have an Onyx Celluloid Forest King, really nice full blade. You can even pick up some of the etch if you hold on an angle. The other is one I have been looking for a while, really happy to fill this slot, finally. The worm groove bone Presto, nice blade, real nice scales. I am really fortunate to have picked up these pieces of our American history. I wanted to share them with you gentlemen, hope you like. I have a few more oddities to share soon.Thanks for looking.

Here's a shot of my American switch drawer, a little of something for everyone. Imperials, Schrades, and Colonial Shur-Snaps.

I’ve always like old switchblades Or auto knives but for some reason just never ran across many in my knife trading until recently. I’ve acquired 5 recently and have 2 more to pick up next week. I have picked up a schrade cut co and Schrade Walden NY double auto’s, a Schrade Walden NY USA large single
Blade with bale and this single blade is my latest one. Any thoughts on this knife? I’m definitely no expert and always looking to learn. The single blade ones don’t seem as common as the double auto’s, is this true?

This knife was only produced for a short time before Camillus closed in February 2007. Approximately 700 knives were made.
