Another cool knife Eustace. Quiet the stylized squirrel. You show us knives we other wise would never see. Thanks.

SSK I love the blade on that one.

[Eustace]

You show us knives we other wise would never see. Thanks.

Dogledd, it is also my wish - to show things from the other side of the world that could be interesting for you. Thank You!

An interesting knife of a less known producer in Bulgaria - "Georgi Dimitrov" knife factory, the town of Shipka.

Thanks guys. Ivoryman, it's a 1990 with a little bit of spotting here and there on the smaller blades. Well made knife though.

Boker Boy Scout in Blue Honeycomb

Railsplitter, all three are nice, but that Boker Honeycomb is exceptional. Someone posted a red honeycomb on here some time back and it’s really got me wanting one. No one’s posted the black honeycomb yet, I think.
That Case Whittler is gorgeous too.

I too have admired the Boker Honeycomb knives which drew me to the Boker website where I found this:

The Boker Scout has been firmly connected to our name since 1985. No one can say today if anyone would have expected that the Pocketknife would be one of the most successful and popular Knifes from our range. But these many years in short-lived fads, that are also not unusual on the knife market, is definitely special. While no other model has had as many versions as the Scout over the years, the basic specifications never changed. The Boker Boy Scout breaks with this tradition and (while not changing the design) provides a smaller, pocket-friendlier version that plays to its strength primarily as compact everyday companion. The Boy Scout also has a significantly lower profile, yet is just as rugged and durable as its big brother. The nickel silver scales are CNC-machined for greater precision. The hollow ground blade made of stainless N690 is forged by Böhler and contributes with its memorable shape to the incomparable appearance of the Scout. A classic Backlock keeps the blade safely open. When the knife is opened, the spine locks into a notch on the back of the blade. To close the knife, push down the exposed part of the spine. The harmonic overall impression of this classic is completed by pleasantly shaped handle scales made of semi-transparent black Honeycomb. The Honeycomb scale material is based on a resin that is applied to a detailed aluminum Honeycomb structure. This gives the scales a fine, silver-colored surface structure, paired with the 3D effect of the semi-transparent base material.

I wonder if the attorneys for the Boy Scouts of America will ask a judge to have Boker cease using the words "Boy Scout" which they've protected in the past.

Thank you. I appreciate the compliments.

That Red Honeycomb was mine too. Liked it so much that I had to have a Blue one too. You know how it is.

I hadn't considered that but it's a very good point. I like the Boker Boy Scout a lot but I really wish it was called something else.

Me too Rick, I keep looking for a blade etch or BSA shield but of course they aren't there because this isn't a licensed product from BSA.

Nonetheless it's a looker and my crystal ball tells me that the black one is in Railsplitters future.

[Ivoryman]

Sweet line up gsmith, congrats, every one a looker. Killer Kudu.

[gsmith7158]

Sweet line up gsmith, congrats, every one a looker.

Thanks Iman! I've got to get some better pics of that Big Bay. It is phenominal.

[Quick Steel]

Ditto the Iman. All are sweethearts. That mammoth is striking.

[Steve Warden]

Sweet stuff right there, Greg!

[gsmith7158]

QS, Steve thanks for the kind words. While i was taking pics the mailman brought this old girl. Not t9o bad.

[gino]

[Railsplitter]

You're on a roll, Greg. Nice scores!

[jerryd6818]

Fantastic Greg, That mammoth ivory is the most unusual I have ever seen. Is that a mammoth that is more natural and not died or stained in some way? Very interesting.

Two packages arrived today - one old, one new. I let you guys figure out which is which...

First up is Ganzo/Firebird FH11-CF. This is a brand new release from Ganzo, and it's the current pinnacle of Ganzo/Firebird: carbon fiber handles, flipper, liner lock, ball bearings and for the first time ever - D2 steel! I'm sure someone will say that they doubt it is really D2 steel, and of course I have no idea if it is or isn't, but I will also say that even if this was a Benchmade or Spyderco, I still wouldn't know if it was whatever steel it claimed to be. I'm not a steel guru. One of the reasons I bought this knife was to see if I could tell any difference between this blade steel and any other.

The second knife is a 1975 Case 6217 "Loomfixer" Jack with wooden handles. I have no idea why it is called a "Loomfixer" - I know what a textile loom is, but I don't know why this knife would be good for fixing a loom. All I know if that I didn't have one in the collection and now I do! it's a good old HOK, just like all of my other knives, and it snaps like a bear trap. I got it surprisingly cheap, and I don't know why.

Yawl back away from the key board and screen. I don't want you to slobber and drool all over it. The mail feller drop this off a bit ago.
