I got the 757 in the '90s, just as you see it. The 75 came ~15 years later, as an unfinished steel blank in a box of misc junk. Then 5 years ago I stumbled on about 30 pounds of fine-grained Micarta…Continue

"Hey Warren - it really depends on the link. If it's his personal link, ask his permission first. Better still, ask him to join iKC! If it's a public link to his business - by all means, share it!
I'd hate to see anyone get in trouble…"
"Wow!
Thank you both, very much! I'm pleased to have all this background on this pair...I'll dig up the link to the site of the fellow who did the finish on the 75, as he certainly deserves great credit.
Is it appropriate for me to…"
"Well done Kevin - good stuff. The Western models 757 and 777 were the same as the Model 75 and 77, but with molded black synthetic handles for a more "tactical" look and feel. I see both of these examples have the circle J. That's the…"
"The lack of a 'W' in front of the model number I believe points to the mid 80's, when Coleman and Western were working together. As far as the 75 and 757 numbers? If things follow the precedent I found on other knives in…"

"Lars pretty much has it nailed! :) Thanks for checking, Warren."
"And lastly - adding photos to Blogs and Replies. This is by far the easiest...well for me anyway.
In a reply such as this (works the same when creating a thread too), pay attention to where your curser is at in the reply or thread you are…"
"Ok - now for the Photo assistance. First and foremost, I can't explain any better than what you will find in the FAQs regarding photos....but I can explain it a little differently perhaps. In short - there are a couple of primary ways to add…"
"Hey Warren - I can try and help you here. Let's start off with the "norms". You must be a member of iKC to post photos or sell. Is Warren a member? Check. OK - that takes care of the norms.

Knife & Other Sharps; What are the Guidelines about Selling an' Eligibility?
Most of what I've collected is pretty ordinary; known brands, virtually all used, the majority are folding pocketknives, with a few older sheath knives. A few axes & hatchets, plus a very few publications.What are the norms, an' what is the manner of uploading photos? Is there a size limit an' a maximum number allowed?I've just joined, so may not be immediately eligible to offer any of this stuff here. I can accept that. Thanks!See More

So you dig daggers....sweet! Ya boy howdy so do I. Find a dagger thread you like here, add to it, and I'll be right behind ya! I can talk daagers, boot knives and dirks all day with you....maybe even throw in some Older EDC talk, we'll see.
