Your newest addition:traditionals of course!

I've been waiting a while for this one to show up, but it was worth the wait.

This showed up yesterday. If I’m being VERY picky, the back spring is ever so slightly proud when in the open position and I did take a burr of the blade. Other than that, I would say I got another very nice example of what Case can do. I’ve been very pleased with my Case purchases lately.

Lost one of these years ago and decided to pick up another. SAK Executive is still one of my favorite SAKs I've ever owned. Picked up a MiniChamp, too!

I like that handle treatment a lot. One of these days my resistance will collapse.

Here at last! (I ordered it Thanksgiving morning.) 3347 cv.

I didn't know they'd gone three-spring on these.

All the chatter about this knife cost me $52.00 minutes ago when I ordered one... Merry Christmas to myself!!!

Vintage Robi Klass kissing Crane, of Solingen origin. The red bone bled a little, some dish soap and olive oil set it and no longer an issue. Excellent F&F, action. Was going to safe queen it, but it just carries well and is a joy to use.

A couple of firsts for me with this knife, Olivewood and Niolox steel. To me it is very attractive, and feels really good in my hand. Curious as to how the steel will hold up when I try to take the edge down to 30 degrees inclusive.

There are definitely worse things you could spend 80 bucks on.
It's definitely a lot if knife for the money.

Great looking Lionsteel. They don’t seem to be as popular as the others but I think they look fantastic. I’ve always liked the looks of Navajas so I’ll eventually pick on of these up to cure the itch.

Thank you, much appreciated! That is exactly what this was for me as well, a chance to explore something close to a Navaja. My example is very well made, with excellent fit and finish. They have an extra strong back spring in the closed position (not in the half stop position), which seems like a nice safety feature.

Interesting knife, Tom, the Niolox should perform about like 440B or C; do you know the hardness of it?

Great info, thanks Jeff. I see it listed as 59-60 Rockwell, so my guess is that it won’t be too much of a bear to grind. I would also guess that once the edge is set it should respond well to stropping.

Just got this Boker Gentleman Club Knife today and IMHO it is absolutely beautiful! Outstanding fit and finish, N690 blade steel, pinned shield, flush in all positions and great walk and talk. Yes, it was a little pricey at almost $200 but it just Oozes quality.

I was supposed to be done for the year after the 74, Indian River Jack, and forum knife, but I ended up on the auction site looking for a Schrade 5ot with carbon steel. Some stag (not even sure if it’s real) caught my attention instead and I got this cheap with a broken tip and lots of scratches. I got the tip shaped back into a point, although I might still take more off the spine to slim down the point.

Just got this sweet, pre-loved Buck BF knife...an awesome gift from my buddy @JupiterPaladin . He heard I was missing mine and sent it my way, and with a little character already there's zero hesitation to put it right to use
