Sha-Zamm, Scott, you hit the jackpot with that pile. Must be nice to live in the geriactric(sp?) state. Lot of old timer's estates.

Just think of the gold mine The Villages must be.

Nope.....nah-dah. It's little cozy villas where people from up north have abandoned all to live in the sunshine state. They've gotten rid of
stuff they no longer use. They play golf, eat, sleep, and play golf....repeat.

That thought hit me after I posted that. They also play cards and fish and ...... My best friend from the Marine Corps sold out a couple of years ago and moved down there. He said they have the highest incidents of STDs in the state.

Bunch of lustful grannies and grampaws. They must have those big alien cocoons in the pool.

Thanks I-Man. You're as bad as ~Q~, you would like it if it was a pipe wrench as long as it had a Wharncliffe blade.
(Well, me too.)

Hey I resemble that, take it easy on Q. He's much better at them than I. But hey if I'm compared to Q in any fashion that's good enough for me. Even if as bad. Love me some pipe wrenches, and if they had Wharns I would have some more. But look who's talking? You seem to have an affinity for some Wharns too huh? That's right. The old pot calling the kettle black again? I see how you are.

Did someone mention "Wharncliffe"??? My ears were burning...
Please Whip me again!

Looks like you've already been whipped. And more than once by the looks of it. Double whammy.

I'm outed. My soul is laid bare to the world. How will I ever survive and regain my dignity? That's assuming I had any dignity to start with.

Managed to steal a moment from all the other urgencies of life, so I can post a recent pick up.

A Wenoka, which is my first Japanese knife.

As I scan through the ebay listings I'm kind of impressed with what I see. These Jap knives have nice bone or MOP handles and really look good, like yours. What do you think about the construction? F & F?

Very nice re-work on a classy frame. I had that done with one of those huge Colonial pilot's knives and it's a really great alternitive to replacing the blade. Like it a lot.

Found the Kabar at a garage sale this morning and the other 3 just came in off the mail truck...and yes I know who Lawrence Welk was, used
to watch his show every Sunday evening.

Nothing as high class as what you high rollers are bringing in, but I was tickled to get this in the mail today. Victorinox Executive. It's my favorite if the smaller SAK's.

Well I have only unpacked it so haven't handled it much. But it looks great but is a bit rough.

I'll post a review in the appropriate forum in a couple of days along with detailed pics.

No true knife lover would go without a SAK in his collection.
