End of the line after 4 years trying to collect all the covers on the Queen 2009 Farmers jacks, finally landed the MOP and it's a beauty. 100 made in each cover.

Here's a 4 1/4 Schrade that came from the collection of Camillus president Nilo Miori. (Roger has posted some knives from that collection as well a while back.)

VERY nice! ::tu::
A pocket knife is still an intimate personal possession of the individual who carries it and consequently deserves the best of materials, finish and workmanship in its production. (Quoted from Boker's 1928 cutlery catalog).

Thanks for the nice comments. I had previously sold off my Schrade peach seed knives so it's nice to have at least one again.
