That's impressive. I love it!

That front scale almost looks as if it is Brazilian Horn. I'm almost certain that it is an AGA Camplin product.

I believe its a 9 inch knife my freind. Four inch blade but i have no Dianas unfortunately . I'll wager they have a touch smaller blade.3.75 inch.? I love the Catalan knives real deep bellied cutting blades and a fine clipoint for deft skinning work. I think your having a lot of fun buying at the m...

May I come out from under my rock? Is it safe?

Oreste Dibon? They are making 11" (10.75") Fishtail Picklocks? I wish I had known. That's the knife I wanted!

I have loved the pattern all my life (for at least the last 55 years). I became emotionally attached at the age of eight when dad first showed me his.

I just ordered a 10" AGA Campolin Fishtail Picklock with Brazilian Horn scales from Blade Play. (I know, I'm taking a big chance but it is the only place on the Internet that has them at a reasonable price). Those that are following the Fishtail Picklock saga can stay tuned. p.s.: It was the last on...

These are such impressive pocket knives. What I enjoy is their ability to be used rather than be relegated to a safe or drawer. There's a certain "siren song" that comes from a well-used blade (It is why they have been manufactured, you know).

Belay that. I just looked it up. The 4.5" blade is big enough to handle larger skinning jobs.

Belay that Nautical Ignore that (last order, message).

I designed it. It's a good knife. Sorry, Bill. I had no idea. From great minds, come great knives. (I probably should have guessed). It looks like a knife that could be taken while hunting for small game, designed for skinning. This looks like a knife that should be taken into the field along with ...

Many love the graceful, swoopy lines of the AGA Campolin "Diana" but can the good-sized clip-point blade be a good "pocket auto" seeing service for many cutting jobs? I feel a bit of a romantic attachment to the design of the knife, yet am unsure of how it would fare under EDC conditions.

Opinions?

The Elks turned out to be a "one shot deal". That's okay. I'll probably be auditioning for the Lt Dann Band by the Spring of 2019.
