Your newest addition:traditionals of course!

The wait is over! I know it looks just like the rest but this one is mine.

 

[Fixall]

A nice little twist on the Buck 500 Duke.

This one features a barehead construction with Desert Ironwood covers, S30V steel, swedge, long pull, and stainless steel bolster.

Sorry for the lack of pictures, but I scored a US made 340T at a flea market, new in the box for $18. Made my day.
Edit: Actually a 1040t in a 340t box. I wasn't sure the model, just made sure it was stamped US made. I knew what I was getting, just not the proper name. Still happy with the purchase.

ISC had a full line of SAK-a-likes. Which are quite good

Nice. Thanks. So mine is a green Century Mercury.

Love those Imperial metal Boy's knives. Have about a dozen of them. Use to stop by a 5 and 10 cent store on my way home from elementary school and buy about one a month or so. Maybe cost a quarter or fifty cents then. (Yes, I spent a lot of years in elementary school )

They are great. So cheap and so good. I never saw them as a kid. I have probably around a half dozen, a couple being two-bladed.

Wait - what! You got yours already? Just kidding. A very nice example!! (Mine is in the mail...)

A nice mail call yesterday from our very own JohnDF . I reached out to John as I was keen to acquire one of his slips and we agreed a trade for the slip and this wonderful case from 1975. Great craftmanship on the slip John, I am delighted with it. It is the ideal size for a host of my knives but it seems to be perfect for my GEC mustang.

The knife is great as well. It is the oldest case knife I have handled and it is in fantastic condition for its age. They sure don't make them like they used to

On a side note by the time the package reached me in the UK it had split open but amazingly the contents were still intact. Good to see there are still some honest folks out there.

Many thanks for the trade, John

So happy it arrived safely, I'm very nervous about shipping internationally these days.
I'm also happy you like the slip and the knife, Hope you enjoy them for years to come, my friend.

Those old Case copperheads are wonderful knives

Here she is next to some common #86 for scale comparison:

Wow!

(Did you have to sell a kidney?)

I'm glad you scooped up that 62 - if I didn't already have one in pretty nice stag, I would have been envious, for sure.

Many moons ago, I had a nice 66 in Stag. Since I had not quite developed an affinity for the material, I foolishly let it go to fund a different knife at the time. I have regretted that ever since and have been seeking one to replace it for a long time. Seeing that one on the Exchange the other day was like getting an early birthday present - being quick enough to nab was just the bow on top. It should get in tomorrow I think and then I am looking forward to getting acquainted with it.


In the spirit of this thread - I just got this in today. My first 14 TC (thanks again, Mark! @Ramrodmb). It's nice to add to my Barlow lineup. I think I just need to find a Tidioute #25 Barlow to round out the assortment, an example of every type of Barlow bolster GEC has used.

That’s a great addition, Dylan! That one might be my favorite #14 TC.

I got this one in the mail the other day, a gift from Jolipapa . Traditional Hungarian pattern (Fejesgörbe), made by László Papp.

I'm very nervous about shipping internationally these days.

And so you should be my friend, so you should be. It is a genuine lottery and crab shoot at the moment, so much so USPS have stopped parcel delivery to here. I just had a very nervous experience and wait on a knife i have been chasing for ages, don't want to go through that again. I would be very dubious about posting anything overseas from now on, on top of everything else you will run into the Christmas rush.

Paid for this one today. My son has Autism and this will me my most loved slip

 

[penguin9]

I've been too busy with work and house projects to post any pics for a while now, so I'll catch up today. Haven't been too busy to grab a couple of new knives

First is a Case Eisenhower. I seem to be gravitating to small knives lately.

Next is an older Queen Canoe

Yet another small Robeson. I'm a sucker for Pearl handles.

A Schlechten Lobster with horn handles. I haven't found much info about this company, but I like the knife.

Finally, a Boker TL-29.

This one arrived today and I’m grateful to keep the annual sets going from AAPK as well as this fine Forum. Still need to get a good pic of the BF 86, but the opportunity was there for this pic today, so here’s the latest acquisition.

Great shot, of a fantastic knife.
