You will have to scroll along to see them, I left them at higher res to see etching. The Alamo is a new addition for me. Not the one Mr Reagon had. There were 250 made.

After studying that first picture carefully, I came to the conclusion that the reason they are both laughing is because the man with President Reagan has inadvertantly brought a knife to a gun fight. Well, either that or Reagan is committing armed robery, taking that guy's knife. :lol:

Very cool pics. Thanks for sharing them. 8)
I believe several of those knives are very similar to the one in this month's give away, except for the etchings.

What a great looking collection of fixed blades. ::tu::

Thanks Philco, there were only 250 of them made but Ive seen 4 of them for sale on ebay in the last few years, normally these sell for between $500 and $2500 although Ive seen two sell for around $200 on ebay. It was part of a 4 peice set the highest price paid for the set was $10.000 dollars. Th Alamo is the most expensive in the set so $200 is ridiculously cheap.
God Bless

Tim,
I just thought I'd share this with you. I visited the Alamo this past summer while on vacation. The etching is a remarkably accurated depiction of what the place looks like.
When I was there it was a bit more crowded than the scene on the knife, but the folks were a tad less hostile! :lol:

Here is a set of Schrade Aurums which I always felt should be displayed together. Dave Ruger ( DRUGER ) cut out the plywood inner frame I upolstered ( such as it is ). The display case is the same as Schrade used for there WWII 50 year ann set, with the innards changed. The pics while not great should give you the idea. These came in individual bood boxes originally .LT
