Bill, all those are awesome! The 4th knife with the dark wood handle really caught my eye. I like the simple looking knives for some reason if that makes any sense.

 That is a Jim Lile. He is deceased but they are still making those knives. The newer version has a stamped dot after the name Lile so that collectors won't get them confused.

 Westinghouse Ivory micarta. No longer made.

Westinghouse may not make it but you can still buy white micarta.

Title: Re: Knives
Post by: GR8CALLS on February 09, 2011, 01:40:27 PM

 Totally different product. The Ivory micarta Westinghouse made hasn't be available for quite some time. It is highly sought after by custom knife makers.

You need to look at Gene Ingram, 250 - 300, about 3 year wait, I've been waiting 2 so far, I can find you one if you want it.....

  Shad, there is a guy in our NWTF chapter named Ed Wallace who is in the knife makers guild. His knifes start around 150. He was on a show called Kentucky Afield. The show is put together by the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife. If you are interested, I think you can pull up the episode of his show from their web sight. I took a picture of a knife that he made me but as you can see I'm not a photographer.
