Thanks

Nice acquisitions Paul!
That are probably much harder to find there in the UK than in the USA.

Nice haul, Paul. The Sharpfinger is one of my favorite fixed blades, just right for a lot of tasks. I have a Deerslayer also, but it is a bit big for most stuff. I love the steel on those knives.

Mine too , I’m lucky to have two old Sharpfingera now plus a Chinese one but obviously prefer the 1095 on the old ones

Paul, the 1st picture struck me as "comfortable"! Something about the worn leather sheaths, it just looks good to me.
All those knives are great, the shrimshawed 2 blade would my choice.
Can't do better than a folding hunter at Starvation Plantation.

Cheers mate , yeah the sheaths are all well used , felt a bit damp when I got them so put them in the sun and then waxed them , much better now , I like the scrimshaw hunter , think these are from 1977 , I’m sure originally there was blade etching ? All lovely old Schrades and I’m very happy with them
