Yesterday’s mail run was nothing short of awesome!!! 
I had contacted Duane @sitflyer about his signature line last Thursday. He had expressed an interest in acquiring a certain knife. Now I just happen to have in my modest collection two examples of this knife that he was looking for. Duane had recently posted one of my favorite patterns. He had acquired a TK Cuban Tidioute Pen knife with the Christmas Lights Acrylic handles. So I was able to talk Duane into a trade. Hopefully he will be as pleased as I am! Thank you my friend!

Round Two of yesterday’s awesome mail run is a grail knife for me. I have wanted a Case Bose Norfolk ever since I first saw one in the pages of BladeForums. Thursday evening I was at the right place at the right time. This beautiful Antique Jigged Bone Norfolk was listed on the exchange by @onekerf and I believe that I was the first on the listing. I thought about it for maybe a millisecond and then I pulled the trigger. I don’t know exactly how to describe the way this knife feels in hand. I know anyone that has one knows exactly what I’m talking about! It was everything and more than I expected!

Great knives, Ron! Both are awesome and unique. I watched you snag that Norfolk and I knew we would see some pics soon. Congrats on a couple of gems that aren't easy to come by these days.

That's a beauty, Mark, there's nothing like ram's horn! Character, color and toughness . . . it's all good.

Very good looking indeed. Did you mean 1.4034… which is very similar to 420hcGot a new one from Klaas/ Solingen. As I mentioned on another place, they have an unbelieveable treasure from their knifemaking history, not only material, but also pattern sketch books. So they were diggin´ in this treasure and found a pattern called 4345, a cokebottle knife from the 1950s
This year they decided to build it again and this is the result:
A wonderfull knife with excellent f&f and strong w&t. Handle covers are grenadile wood, blade steel is 1.4043, but its also aviable in carbon steel or with damascus with mamouth tooth covers. This time I choose rustless, because it should be my edc for the next time and I like to have a few, that I can use without caring about rust and the typical carbon steel issues
Thanks a lot, Bugdoc. Indeed it´s 1.4043. I didn´t know, that it is that similar. But a few differences are there, especially the amount of Chrome and the lack of Vanadium
