doyler Posted April 12, 2012 Share #16 Posted April 12, 2012 Bill Just amazed to see these two case prototypes.I hope forum members can appreciate the rareity of these two knives.I recall the auction as I saw it advertised.I cant imagine what it was like to be in attendance(I was just out of high schoo at the timel) Seeing these in a photo is spectacular.I recall from Coles book the distinctive grind of the blade and false edge but to see it in the photo is truely beautiful. Thanks for sharing all of your outstanding collection. RD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
