Well I would second that. Not crazy at all, just so much on here to glean and it never ends.

A Michael Hoover Custom drop point 112. Handles are Golden Tiger Eye, a stone from South Africa. He does very nice work.

That is a stunning knife Ken! Those covers are simply gorgeous. I wore a Tiger's Eye ring for years so I for one can testify to how nice it looks in person. Just beautiful my friend!
Re: Mail Call !-Post your new pick-ups here............
Stunning is right. Beautiful piece, and a work of art. Congrats on that one of a kind. Man alive.

Re: Mail Call !-Post your new pick-ups here............
Thank you Mark, IMan and Mark. I appreciate your comments. Actually, the photos don't do it justice. You should see it in hand. I did not know what Tiger Eye was until I saw this knife. Mr. Hoover does a lot of custom work with exotic stone. I've wanted one of his knives for about a year now, but was never able to catch one before they were gone. Glad I was able to get this one.

I just opened up an Amazon box and here is what I found.
A new cordless Dremel tool (by WEN); 2 new SAK's and some new shaving blades. I can't get a knife blade sharp enough to shave with...

Well, not exactly a knife, but one of my new fav’s! Just came in today, a Union Razor. Produced in Tidioute, Pa. It is literally sharp as a razor! It will get stropped this evening and test run.

jerryd, you can shave with a pocket knife if you know how to sharpen it to a shaving sharp edge like AG Russell does (well...did, may he RIP).

Re: Mail Call !-Post your new pick-ups here............
Here are the knives I got today.
A Bantam Alox; a Swiss Army 1 Alox and a small penknife that has a Diamond with the letter W in the middle and then GERMANY under that. I've looked and can't find anything on it.

I found this chart that says the "W" in the diamond is "JH Williams, United-Greenfield" I have no idea if this is the same company as your knife blade, so take it all with a large grain of salt...

I am a newby to this site but was asked to post a picture of my complete set of TKCA (Texas Knife Collectors Association) club knives from 1980 - 1994. The organization is no longer around. My presentation is not very ingenious, but it shows the complete set with info. I have no idea as to their value.

Re: Mail Call !-Post your new pick-ups here............
Sorry to hear about the outgassing because it's a pretty knife with cool swirls. But I get it. That's why I don't buy celluloid. Anxious to see what you turn it into. Good luck and can't wait for the before and after.
An old unused '65-69 62087 with decent bones and great walk and talk, great fit and finish, great action, smooth everything. Very happy with it.

Re: Mail Call !-Post your new pick-ups here............
~Q~ that is really a nice looking knife. Have you worked with Kirinite before. I was just thinking you might find some that would keep that same look of the handles.

Re: Mail Call !-Post your new pick-ups here............
That's a shame regarding the outgassing ~Q~ because that swirl effect looks great. I love the straight simple lines on your knife, and it'll be very interesting to see how you re-cover it. A really nice little knife overall! In reference to David inquiring if you've worked with Kirinite, I can vouch for the stuff, it was easy to work with and had endless choices for patterns.
