Ralph,

Welcome, and thanks for joining IKC, the “next generation of knife collectors”. Scott King the founder and brainchild of this forum as well as Elephant Toe Nails www.ellephanttoenails.com , his collecting obsession as you can see there And he the founder and editor, contributor of almost all content and at large of Cutlery News Journal www.cutlerynewsjournal.com – Enjoy, I have been a member since September ’09 and found it educational and fun. I have seen custom knife maker’s bloom and seen posting from knife legends like A.G. Russell. I see collector that are new here with 50 years collecting under their belt and those like me seriously collecting for three or four years. So there is something for everyone. The custom knife maker, the folder collector the hunter collector and those like me who have a passion for them all and have not discovered my niche. Most of all – ask and dig in….. There is a wealth of knowledge at your fingertips here.
Happy New Year and May God Bless!
Frank

You'll like it here, Ralph.
CASE still makes the Seahorse, just not as much as before. They only started production in 2002.
Seahorses are my favorite pattern. Not a big fan of MOP, though, always afraid I'll break a scale.

No local joke, either. I've got some pics on my page to prove it.

(Just carve away anything that doesn't look like a monkey.)
