Cheers Tim i also have the wood gripped one. been looking for this one for a few years now (1st one i have ever seen for sale),its always very pleasing to get a knife that you have spent years looking for.

Hi Sean,
I'd love to see your collection of the metal gripped knives. Can you post them, or have you posted them somewhere already I could check out?

Another nice one, thanks for showing it Sean. When you say you're close to getting all the metal gripped ones, how many are there?

Hi Disbo100 the checkered metal grip one i have only ever seen the one i own never ever seen another one for sale and considering mine cost me £12.50 i don't think that's any guide line. Hi Gaspare i have found a picture of the other one that you mentioned (Looks like #5 but more of a eagles head with fake press bayo stud )in Eugen von Halasz book. The one above i would think is impossible to find! but hey i am going to keep looking
Regards Sean
