Thanks, Rome! Yeah, Spain spells a newer knife. Nice nonetheless! And you'll have to admit, the price was right!

And, hey! You did a great job of labeling all those knives! So, reach over your shoulder and give yourself a pat and a big atta-boy!

I just noticed a mistake on the photo of the Tactical knives. I have the knife on the bottom right labeled in red as a MOD when in fact it is a Emerson.  That is what happens when you do something in a hurry.

The Hen & Rooster Bowie  reads Diamond Limited Edition,and the other side reads HR-0008 Origin Spain.  It has a signature on one side of the blade and the other says Hen & Rooster German Stainless Premium Forged Steel.  So this makes it a newer knife.

Wow! Rome, you scored some really nice knives. Voila! Instant collection! I homed in on the Buck 110 automatic immediately. I'd be curious to know the tang stamp on that stag handled Hen & Rooster Bowie knife? If it says "Bertram Cutlery" it would have been made after the original factory in Germany closed. I'd be curious to know if it was made prior?

In any event, lucky you! He said, green with envy!

A few weeks ago a friend of mine told me that his older brother had passed away and he was in the process of disposing of his guns and jewelry to settle his estate.  Anyhow he told me that he had found a few knives in his brothers things and said he was going to give them to me.

I asked him if he didn't want to keep them as keepsakes and he told me his brother did not like him and his memories of him were of a big bully.  He wanted no keepsakes from him.

Well he brought me the knives there were around 50 or so some in great condition and some in rough shape.  I will let the pictures show what I ended up with and 2 Hen & Rooster Butterbean Canoes are not shown the wife took them.

All I can say is I have one Hell of a friend and he will be repaid somehow.I just had to show someone.
