Show your *traditional* Boat/Sailor's knives

This Schrade-Walden 735 and the Camillus 697 came from the estate of a local Sailor; he used them on these three ships (don't know which knife was used on which ship); USS Portland LSD-37, Uss Iwo Jima LPH2, and the USS Vogelgesang. The Camillus is freehand etched "Deck #2" on the blade and "DK#2" on the bolster (assuming this one was used on the Iwo Jima, a Viet-Nam era helicopter carrier). The Case Whaler is a nine dot from 1971. OH

Unfortunately this one isn't traditional either, Joe. I'll change the title so folks that wander in from the new post page are aware.

I'm sorry bad eyes and a cell phone diminish my already weak reading comprehension skills :)

I'm referring to the French Sailor with the black buffalo horn:
I've recently purchased this French knife for myself.
I've been carrying it or a couple of weeks now and I like it, really been enjoying it.
Handles boxes and rough cuts, and sharpens like a razor. I like the fit in my hand, and light in the pocket too.
I know this is an older thread, but how's your French knife, still have it/use it?
This is an unusual knife, I've found that only one web-site carries these, haven't read anything about ownership of this knife other than the German cousin the Anchormess.
