Your newest addition:traditionals of course!

I picked up a couple made by Schrade...again The first is pretty much new in the box, not a speck on it. A 34OT made for LL Bean. Always liked LL Bean so I bought it.

The second, another Parker Frost Bison. If I keep finding these I’ll need a bigger pasture It’s also essentially new in the box.

I just picked these two up from the Exchange... Large/Small combo...

Nice! I think the Coyote in osage wood was my "knife of the year" a few years back. It's a perfect backup in case your other knife is lacking a straight edge.

Thanks, Rachel. I love the Coyote.

This pair of pictures is funny, since the "large" and the "small" look "small" and "large" because of how you've photographed them.

I'm glad you noticed, I thought it was funny too.

At a recommendation from Paul, AKA @TheChunk91, I picked up a used 61OT. I’m thinking I may like this one

i have always liked the look of then Case 2 blade hunter in CV steel. This just arrived and the walk and talk, and fit/finish is excellent.

I've been keeping any eye out for years for a Planters Peanuts knife that wasn't a cheapo.

Ambassador baseball bat advertising knife (with no advertising!). I have seen a couple of other knives like this with advertising on the handle. The handle cover looks like some kind of synthetic mother of pearl, although I think it's hard to tell from the photo. $5.00 at a gun show today.

***Mail call*** Just got these 2 in today. While this is not a first in my collection for either of these patterns, it is my first acrylic and my first in ebony. I’m very happy to be the owner of both of these knives. They are absolute stunners!!!

I was right. It is awesome.
This is the small Blakiston's. At 3 3/8" closed length, it is sized just right for a secure three finger hold.
With the naked eye, the joint between the blade and spring is almost invisible.

A Moki Blakiston's Fish Owl has been shipped to my house from Collector Knives.
I know from past experience with Moki knives that it will be awesome.

Who names a knife model, "Blakiston's Fish Owl"? I looked up the derivation of that name.
The species is considered to be the world's largest owl, and it is a native species in Japan.
Like the knife, it has black plumage. Hence, the link to the knife.
Additionally, my understanding is that originally this model was only intended to be sold in Japan, ie "native species". So that's another link between them.
For comparison purposes, I borrowed one of Mike's pics and I borrowed a pic from a site devoted to owls.

knarfeng You made a wise choice Frank, not surprisingly as it's an Owl Stellar build quality on these, no issues at all, light yet strong and a decent steel. Here's mine looming out of the darkness, talking of which it's 13.30 here and the twilight is fading fast already

I also picked up a Moki Blackiston Fish Owl recently (the larger version). I was expecting high quality because of the testimony I had heard about it, but I was pleasantly surprised at how light it is!

I received this 86 a few weeks ago and I’m loving it.

Another new arrival and I couldn’t be happier. One more checked off the list of GEC’s I’ve been hunting for.

I was that impressed with the A. Wright and Son Lambsfoot that arrived yesterday that I ordered this within a couple of hours of unwrapping it.
I remember being given one identical, but branded Rogers and very well used
, to sharpen for someone when I was about 16, I liked it and always had it in mind to get one someday, so...

Just as pleased with it as I am with the Lambsfoot even though they are both a fraction of the cost of some of my collection.
Hand crafted in Sheffield and proof they can do it well when they want to.

Received two new green bones this week, both near mint. Goodie, goodie!!

Just received this A. Wright lambfoot from across the pond. I’m excited to put it to use. I’ve been very interested to try this blade shape and decided it was time to pull the trigger. The fit and finish are pretty nice and the blade came decently sharp. VERY strong pulls, I’d put it at about a 9!! My one complaint is the centering is pretty poor. Other than that it’s lookin good in my book.
