Another GEC 93 came in today. I bought this one for my collection. I couldn’t pass up these handles. Cocobolo with some very impressive grain.

I like that Buck knife Scott, that looks like it could do anything you wanted to do with a knife.

Got in a few this week. First another Pony Jack to add to the corral. A Craftsman 95041 with the white delrin handles and rectangle "Sears Craftsman" Shield. I've passed on many of these because usually the master clip blade had some wobble. This one is tight, no wobble and both blades have great snap with just a few scratches.

Next a couple to add to my Camillus family. Both came with the boxes, original papers, and sleeve. One is a 1997 Camillus Rimfire Classic 22LR6 Carpenters Whittler (a 72 Clone) and has delrin handles with the .22 rimfire brass shield. Next is a 1995 Camillus Rimfire Classic 22LR4 Muskrat, same handles same shield.

This one was in the mailbox today, a Schrade Walden 196, florist knife. It has the 1946-1973 tang stamp so it is from 48 to 75 years old. ::shrug::
