Your newest addition:traditionals of course!

There’s nothing like receiving a gift from someone you love. My father-in-law is an amazing man, generous in every way and shares a love of knives. My collection...30 or so knives. His...rollin 500 deep and increasing at warp speed.

I can’t honor him enough. A man in his late 60’s, wisdom oozing from his pores. America is a country that foolishly idolizes youth and greatly disregards the extreme value of the older generations. Not me. Not on my watch. I sit at the feet of my mentors and learn from each story and scrap of advice.

Every knife he passes to me is a treasure much more valuable than bone, steel, and brass.

This one just came today, bought strictly because it's a perfect candidate for modification. Gonna make the secondary into a Wharncliffe. I have several 4" double-end knives with clip and straight edge, but nothing in the 3½" range. This one comes in at 3.44 inches. "After" pics in a day or two.

I was getting a little bored the other night. My wife was already asleep and there was nothing really great on television. I decided to look at a few knife dealers to see what they had available. I went to Mike Latham’s @knifeswapper Collector Knives to check out the goodies. I looked around a while and I decided to give this Maserin Plow a try. This one is the original model. I had purchased one of the newer models earlier, but since then I gifted it to my pal Harry @Old Engineer. This new Plow is a very attractive knife. It has Pao Santos handles and a D2 blade. I believe these were originally available in other handle choices, but I’m late to the party, so the Pao Santos is all that was showing available. The D2 blade has a very good flat ground surface and it only took a few swipes on a strop and it was hair popping sharp. I know a lot of people have this knife already but I just wanted to add my two cents worth. They are well worth the modest price. :thumbsup:

The upper one just came today. Lighter built and fancier decorated than the cowboy one, which I've had at least 20 years and possibly 30. I would have said it's a punal, but the box says faca. There may be some overlap of those categories. Maybe I'll stick my neck out in Levine's and see if they can tell me something.
