A few new knives...
Don Cowles "Black Tie" Gaboon Ebony, Alabama Damascus, 24kt gold pins, ruby...a nice knife Jim Serven knife, with mother of pearl scales. I'll let the photos do the talking; sort of a trick locking knife; I've never seen this before - pull the knife handle apart, rotate the blade 180 degrees, push handles back together again.

Gene Loro sadly no longer with us, was in his late 70s when I first met him at a knife show in Cambridge, OH. He made some very nice fixed blades knives; hand forging his own Damascus. He was a neat old gentleman.

21 April:
Ray Rybar Friction Folder Carved Antler neck knife: 22 April: Coming home in 2015 from a a knife show in Cambridge, OH we stopped at an Antique Mall, in Harmony, OH called the Heart of Ohio. It is the largest Antique Mall in Ohio. I've been stopping at Antique Malls for about 12 years now; I've gotten a feel for glancing at a display case and finding the ones with knives. Although I didn't buy it (although I wanted to) one case had an original issued John EK WWII made knife. I settled on this small knife, made by B. Wescott, who I can't find any information about online. A nice little custom:
