Like your Hubertus Bill made with the MOP I don't know if I would even want to hold it
You have come a long way- I remember your pictures of the cheap-o plastic handled switches from the old days
Now you have knives any museum would be proud to display.
Thanks Dave, the collection has come a long way since then hasn't it?
Most collectors will laugh, but I only handle my pearl knives with a clean cloth and lightly clean and wipe them down again after I've switched them.
I've switched the mop Springer Bill made about 3 times total. It kicks like a mule and despite the look of fragility, the feel is entirely solid.

I know this thread is years old, but yes, I'm buried and I can't get up

Stunning knife, Jeff. You are indeed in an exclusive club and that COA is perfect provenance. I love the contrasts in colors of brass button and silver blade, white MOP on top, black horn (?) underneath. Just magnificent.

I was just looking through these older posts as I just won an auction for my first AGA Frosolone today and was wondering why this gorgeous blade of Jeff's is referred to as a "reproduction"? Is it because of the year of production? Excuse my ignorance, but if one never asks, one never knows. Certainly looks "genuine" to me!
