Cody—great pick ups ya know?

Just won this one today… I don’t care if it’s a little beat up ..I’ll clean it up, sharpen it and carry it…the seller had it listed as USA made but I could see the tang stamp said Japan but that’s fine with me..

IMO that will clean up nicely. A Boker barlow I have looked about like that and it responded to some attention really well.
Can't beat the price!

Congrats Ryan! Great deal!

That will be a great EDC!

I just picked up a Carl Schlieper 56 Congress.

Thanks for looking!

Good snag on the little Barlow Ryan.

Tom that is a very beautiful knife and looks new. I like the blade choices and its slim profile. Excellent pick up.

Thanks Floyd!

The price wasn't a steal but I think it was fair. The seller described it as "New".

Wish I knew how old it is.

My wife is still talking to me so all is good.

LOL!

That's a "Honey-Caramel-Cutie" Skip! I'd talk to her every time I walked in the door. "Honey, I'm home!" LOL!

I just obtained, for best offer, this Imperial, "Deer Head", camping/scouting style pocket knife. It will make a wonderful addition to the zoo. It'll get the once over when I receive it. I'll take some pictures and post them in the appropriate location(s).

One of those items I'd been meaning to get for a long time, but just now got around to it. I got the email that it shipped this morning; so It's In The Mail. It is a bigger knife, 4 3/4" closed with a just over 3.5" D2 Tool Steel blade. While I normally pass on knives made by clothing companies because they are crap (5.11 Tactical really comes to mind); this one seems to spec out quite well, with a quite thick D2 blade, G-10 handle, and is made in Taiwan, not China. MSRP is $60, I paid just over $30 from the company's website factoring in shipping.

First Tactical Krait Spear. I had to go with a screenshot. Despite being JPG images, they just wouldn't work here or even on my IMGUR account for use on another forum. I suspect they've done something to the images to prevent unauthorized reposting/reuse.

I haven't had a horse in close to ten years. I've always liked hoof knives for some reason. I'd been watching this particular Frosts (Mora) for quite some time, as I felt it would be a good utility fixed blade as well as it doesn't have the special blade shape or handle of most you see. Seller sent me a "special offer" knocking the $16 shipped price down to $10, so I bit immediately. Mora's MSRP is $22. We have sheep; so it can be used on them as well. I plan to modify that unsharpened area between handle and blade into a choil.

Frosts (which merged with Eriksson to form Morakniv; but survives as Mora's line of "trade" knives) Toeing Knife 330.

I just purchased this "unbranded", 2 blade, "Deer Head" pocket knife. Another great looking acquisition for the zoo. I'll give it the once over when I receive it, although it looks like it is in fantastic condition. I'll take some pictures and post them in the appropriate location(s).
***** A special thanks to Scott, aka knifegnome for selling it to me.

You’re Welcome Skip!

Nice knives Ryan. My favorite is the top/left one.

Stanwade · Post by **Stanwade** » Fri Apr 17, 2020 1:53 am

Me too, Skip.. That’s why I purchased them for that one but I got the other one as a bonus I guess

..I love that blade…

"Toeing knife" &"Choil" Thanks Cody! Some fast research & I just learned two new knifer vocabulary at 5:15 in the morning.

Good deal! I like that toeing knife! I have No idea what I would need it for though.

But then again..., what do I need the other ones for really? Ok, it's on my distant future acquisition list for now but hey who knows,

maybe that's a form that's not so expensive on the bay. I'll have to check.

Anyways, nice knives!

Nice one Skip! I like the colorful ones just a bit more than the other zoo members.

Makes for a colourful array of fruit!

I just bought my first modern ??? Flipper??? A used Kershaw USA 1600BLK Ken Onion Design "Chive" in good condition. Been wanting to try one of these "Flippers" for a while. I can't carry it here though.

I promise that I probably, might not, hardley ever, won't carry it I think maybe.

Thanks for looking!

Nice one! The Leek is not only hard-firing, but also a pretty capable knife for its small size. To me, a tiny bit TOO small, but a very usable knife.

I bought a Kershaw Leek, Scallion, and Chive used all at once (as the price was dirt cheap). Of those, only the Chive was able to be used right after cleaning and maintenance, and even then, I had to take the knife completely apart to get gunk out of the assist spring. The seller apparently thought that in the place of the "good condition" Blackwash Leek that was out of stock, I would be stupid enough to accept a Leek that had a badly damaged blade; a good three-quarters of an inch of the tip was broken off, and it had been sharpened as a belt sander. I nicely explained that I'd been sent a knife in such poor condition, and well, crickets. For a $10 fee, I think, Kershaw will replace the blade. I figure that's my best bet. The Scallion was blunted due to use of a pull-through sharpener. Kershaw will sharpen it for free, so it's going off with the Leek. May send the Chive and my DWO off with it.
