Really sweet barehead Iman. Also, I have a few of those old German coins, I think mine are from the late 30's. Bit back to the jack, beautiful old bones. ::nod:: ::nod:: ::tu:: ::tu::

Thanks doglegg, appreciate it. Always like the old German regalia and stuff and always fascinated by the relics from that era, even if it's politically incorrect. The Robeson is from that era too. Glad you liked it. Thanks again.

Thanks doglegg, edge, $30 OKCA knife show find, nobody had seen the stamp or company. Charlie Campagna looked it up in Goins to be from 1945. Great steel, takes hair shaving edge and two or three swipes to resharpen. Ez breezy.

Just beautiful. Nice one.

Century or so old Keen Kutter, and slightly younger Robeson. The bones that are the kind.
