oh, wow.... thanks for that. A little older than I thought. I'm amazed at how "new" it looks. I know they made a boat-load of these, but to find one this nice is a pleasant surprise for me.
Your newest addition:traditionals of course!

I received a new Old Hickory boning knife today. Weighs 116g, but I am dissapointed that the blade thickness is less than advertised at 2.1mm. I bought it as a poor man's Svord Pig Sticker. Not sure how the flex in the 6" blade would detract from it's Mountain Lion stabbing capabilities, as I've never stabbed anything.

That’s a long time to wait but the end result is obviously worth it. Magnificent work by a true artist.Waited two years for this beauty:

Went to a gun show today. Picked up a Colonel Coon. My first. Its obviously not an original Tennessee Knife Works, but rather after the name had been bought. I know very little about CC's, I think it was made by Queen. I don't think its a Bear. If anybody had any other info or a better idea of who made it, I'd appreciate the input.
Excellent fit, finish, and snap. Blades tight. Feels well made. The curly maple is very sharp. It was the handles that first caught my attention.
3.5" closed.
Also picked up a Cripple Creek trapper. Looks unused. Made in 1986.

Mike, the CC is definitely Queen built, I think in the early 2000s, so when Bill Howard was still at Queen. Looks like a beauty!

Here's my newest Alan Davis that I will be toting for a long time. The dark jigged bone covers sport antiqued copper bolsters and shield, along with copper pins. Alan made the 2.675" blade from some of Del Ealy's random pattern Damascus.

Thanks Alan .... truth be told .... I can't keep my eyes off it!!! This is the first he's made with antiqued copper bolsters and shield like this. His previous one (though was a bit too large for me) had antiqued bronze bolsters and shield. That was also a first.

Thank you! I sold several, ah, non-Traditional knives in order to make this happen. I personally think it was a great transition!

@traumkommode generously sold the 74 stainless to me. I have been hunting a #15 stainless boys knife for a long time, but this 74 might satisfy that craving for good. It is a perfect size, with a lovely drop point with double swage and sporting a killer edge from someone who knows what they're doing.
