Thanks. I'm excited to repost these with John's great pictures. The knives are so much more impressive with his photography.

Here's a quick pic of some I have, I'll put the specs in later, the Pearl Lobster actually is so old it has an ear pick for cleanin' your ears out.

What's that one on the bottom right? Gorgeous.

The pearl on those lobsters are stunning!!

Trand: The color and fire of pearl is challenging to capture in a photo, but John does a pretty good job of it. It is appealing to me as is the intricate design and construction of lobsters. Here is my New York Knife serpentine lobster with etch "Orange Blossom".

Here is my latest Cattaraugus, it does not have Little Valley on the tang and I think it is an early knife. I have never seen a Cat with a tweezers and salt spoon in the handle.

Charles you have some beauties that's for sure!!!

I've not seen that Cattaraugus either. You have some exotic lobsters that I've never run across in your collection. Thanks for posting.

My friend John (aka Chief) has taken some photos of some of my prime lobster pieces and these are some of my orange blossoms. This is a Cattaraugus OB and John use of sand dollars as a background really sets it off.
