Tony, going all the way back to April 4th, your collection of stag Bucks is very fine, very impressive.

Homer that is a sweet collection of barlows. Very nice.

I added what I think is the last A.G. Russell Spire designed by Matt Conable. This mother of pearl version came up for sale on Ebay last week and I couldn’t have moved faster to acquire it. So here are some updated photos of the spire collection. All are A.G. Russell versions except the jade green bone at the top and it’s a William Henry.

Trappers, some on the far right are iffie in my mind seems they were call sowbelly trappers. The blades fit the criteria but I'm not convinced.
Oh well there they are.

While getting the trappers together for photos I realized that one of them was a Case that missed in my Case photos, I may even find another who knows.

Thanks Q. Love those tear drop jacks. I use to have a collection of those, I had around 20 of them, all Case. They look beautiful in a display case dedicated just to them.

Homer that is a nice collection of Congresses. Love that pattern, one of my favorites.

Great Collections fellas! ::tu:: ::tu:: ::tu::

Love the Spires, Mark! I have an AG Russell and William Henry, both in black pearl that are identical knives with different stamps.

Great variety of Canoes, Congress & Trappers, bighomer!

Q, your Teardrop sub-collection is coming along nicely... Great layout and a nice variety of colors. We may need to add a couple more at some point. ::hmm::

I've enjoyed accumulating them. I need to get some photos of the stockman knives maybe a Sunday afternoon or a rainy day endeavor.

Dansword, that is a nice, nice collection of German Eye knives.


David, that pattern has always been a favorite on those Western knives. I like the playing card motif on those. I don’t like the clear acrylic, that stuff gets scratched soooo easily.
