I took some pictures and here are the knives.

My trip to the post office this morning produced these two knives. An ULSTER 50D, 2 blade, "Deer Head" pocket knife and a McGrew ARKANSAS, "HillBilly Classic", 3 blade, yellow handles, swelled center, "whittler" pocket knife. Neither knife needed cleaning. I took some pictures and here are the knives.

Lots of real nice knives being added to collections lately. I really enjoy seeing the treasures everyone finds. Myself I’ve added a few over the past week or so with a couple more to come next week then a hiatus is in order I believe. I’ve started to think about branching my collection out to other then the Buck stockman and need to make sure it’s really what I want to do. I have a bit of an addictive personality that really enjoys screwing with my OCD so I better be sure which direction I’m heading..
Anyway here are some gems that have found their way to my place this past week. All Bucks of course but not a stockman In site.

I did extensive research of the entire GEC catalog before picking that one out as the one I would buy. But I haven't yet, and I'd better before prices get stupid. Currently, the Delrin ones seem to be model dealers have trouble moving. It is one of the less-expensive GEC knives, size and blades fit my needs the most and would be something I'd carry daily. Wharncliffe is just a great all-around blade. The One-Arm blade locks and is good to have with gloved hands, as all you've got to do is hook it on something to get it to open up. Nail nicks and gloves thick enough to protect my hands against barbed wire and thorns don't mix. And, the screwdriver tip on the liner is both a good screwdriver for bigger screws, and as a light pry tool. And a lanyard tube big enough to get a decent piece of cordage through.

Absolute gorgeous soup bone, color variation, saw cut, rough old character laden bones. Wow. When's Case gonna do another run of those babies? Put me down for early reserve. Mmmmmmnnnnnnn.
Nowhere as colorful, but this just in. The thing was called imitation ivory in the listing, he accepted an offer of sixty nine clams. Normally I don't like to brag or state numbers, but let the word go out to be on the look out for ivory billed as bone, faux ivory, fossil, fake ivory, or micarta. The ivory Gestapo banned the sale and feebayyyy gestapo tries to stop this very activity, but the seller and I snuck one through the cracks in plain sight on the open market. And I believe the ban has made some sellers of ivory desperate to get something rather than nothing out of their valuable knives if they couldn't sell them as ivory. Before the ban this George Wostenholm I*XL would have been well north of a hundred smackers, maybe as much as two hundred. In hand it glows with luster and the grain is everything as Q says, and it's easy to see and even feel the grain on the ends. Love the old tool marked peened pins too. You can see where they were struck and each one is very different. And they peened them perfectly without cracking the piece of tusk. Recent knives with ivory often, if not more often have cracks. IMHO it's because the knife makers today do not deal with ivory on a daily basis or often enough to get the idiosyncrasies of the material. At least for me working with it for two decades teaches you things about it that take years to pick up and understand. It's not the same as bone, wood or plastic. Don't know the age, but I would bet it's at least made in the 60's or 70's if not earlier, before bans and short supplies and skyrocketing prices. But the ban has brought the price down so all you contraband smugglers and banned goods lovers like me, keep an eye out, it's bargain season on Elephant tusk. Just picked up two for rock bottom prices like you would pay for bone or micarta or wood. And they are stunning and some of the best deals I ever made.

Nice knives everyone. ::tu::

My visit to the post office this morning resulted in these knives joining my collection. First up, a PASTOR ALEMAN (German Shepherd), single blade, 3 tool pocket knife. This knife is part of the Imperial and Colonial, Mexico connection. It required a good cleaning, I did what I could. Next is a PASTOR ALEMAN (German Shepherd), 2 blade, 1 tool pocket knife. This knife is part of the Imperial and Colonial, Mexico connection. It required a good cleaning, I did what I could. Up third, a PASTOR ALEMAN (German Shepherd), 3 blade, 2 tool pocket knife. This pocket knife has two tang stamps. It looks like it had a fourth blade or a third tool, only the stub remains. This knife is part of the Imperial and Colonial, Mexico connection. It needed a massive cleaning, it got one. Last, but not least, a CAMILLUS, 4 line, single blade, 2 tool, "Sunshine Biscuits" pocket knife. This one needs a complete makeover. I managed to free up the 2 tools which were rusted shut. I believe I'm going to outsource the restoration of this pocket knife. I took some pictures and here are the knives.
