On the left is a Sabre Ireland Slimeline Trapper. Top middle is a Carl Schlieper Eye Brand Large Trapper #82 on the pile side of the main blade. On the right is a small 2011 CASE Trapper #6207 SS. Middle front is a PARKER CUT. CO. World's Fair Souvenir knife and it's a good thing the blade is surgical steel because I stabbed hand with it. I'm kind of excited about the Eye Brand Trapper. It has the CARL SCHLIEPER (over) SOLINGEN GERMANY on the tang of both blades and a lot of etching on the main blade with the single eye mark. If anyone has more information on this knife I would greatly appreciate it.

Forgot to mention it was bought from a Montagnard tribesman.

Nice!!! it looks similar to a blade I brought back from Thailand, and as they are geographically so close that would make sense...

The Hubertus has some beefy stag! Been wanting one for a long time so I was excited to find it. The Boker was too hard to walk away from, so it came home with me as well

Tom (bestgear, and Cosgrove Cutlery), was nice enough to notice that my Buck collection post was missing Scout knives. He kindly, with no pressure whatsoever reached out to me and told me that if I ever wanted to add one to my collection, that he had a few. Well long story short, I now own two great old Buck BSA knives in mint condition! Thanks again, Tom!

Nice scout knives! That carry pouch makes it even better.
