Collectable Blackjacks! Do you have any/many from the original Blackjack era?

Love to see and hear about any of you with Effingham and pre-Effingham Blackjacks. These are the knives that put Blackjack on the map! Where did you find them? Was it a deal, or one of those knives you just had to have, no matter the price?

Here are my collector Blackjacks, top to bottom...

Anaconda II, Tartan Dirk, Blackmoor Dirk and the Viking Raider on the right. All pre-Effingham.

"Oz" I'm envious. I've always had the hots for one of the sub-hilt Blackjacks. The one with the Stag handles is just gorgeous. You have me slobbering all over my keyboard.

Quite a few years back, there was a small gun shop close to where I worked that carried Blackjacks. They were all out of Effingham at the time and very reasonable. The poor man's Randall, I wish I had bought more.
