Willy, I know we are all having some good clean fun here, so no problem from me on my RR purchase.
However just to give you a poke back, with almost a 550 knife collection these RR's will still be far from dominating my collection. I would say the 62 CASE and the 64 "Unknown" makers would be my dominate knives.

As a fan of the Medium Stockman pattern pocketknife I've had the GEC #66 Calf Roper on my want list for some time now. Finally pulled the trigger on this one yesterday - has the faux tortoise-shell handles I've wanted as well (Collector Knives picture - on the way from CK in OK - should be here Friday). OH

Very nice. I'm surprised those stayed on dealer's shelves for so long. It's a great pattern. I've always liked the shape of the spey blade on the Calf Ropers.

My sweet spot is 3¼" or 3-3/8" up to 3-5/8" so at 3½" that Calf Roper slides right in there. I wouldn't mind having a couple or three of the #66 Jacks they put out in 2010 and 2014. Say maybe the Burnt Stag and the Yellow Rose & maybe one more. That Yellow Rose would have Justold52 slobberin' in his whiskers.

Oh, wait!! I just looked and I do have one. Release date Oct. 7, 2010. Got it from HiPower in Dec. of '12. It's a #66 Jack in Rotten Banana Bone. Perfect! ::ds:: (I still wouldn't mind having the ones mentioned above)

3-1/2” Stockman is my favorite size in my favorite pattern, so I should have bought one sooner (the old, so many knives but a certain amount of knife money thing!). Here is one of those early 66 jacks, might be the first GEC I ever bought, and I bought it off eBay sometime in 2013. OH

Sigh. Yeah, that's a beauty. Be like hunting hen's teeth to find one at a reasonable price in today's market.

I usually pick up a few Winchesters during after Christmas sales at Tractor Supply and Walmart. They are very well made for the money. For me, they are mostly workhorses and beaters. I especially like that OHO/lockback design. Does it have a pocket clip?

Bought this Case XX 2007 Tiny Muskrat last evening from AAPK's Sanders Knives. This brings me one more step towards my goal of collecting 5 Case XX knives to represent my family. One in correspondence to the birthyear of each family member.
I now have 4 of the 5 I need to reach my goal. Last one I need is my son's birthyear 2001. ::tu:: :D

Here are the pictures from Sanders Knives. ::tu:: The blade etch reads "Central Kentucky Knife Club" & "2007 Show Knife"

VERY nice Tom. ::tu::

I just obtained this for best offer. It is another Imperial "Longhorn Steer" pocket knife. It is my first "Longhorn Steer" in this particular pattern. When I receive it, I'll check it out, take some pictures and post them in the appropriate location(s).

I just bought this camillus 69 because it looks like it has bone handles; we shall see. Wasn't much money.

I just obtained this pocket knife. Another Camillus 72 (72Y Yello-Jaket), yellow handles, 3 blades, swelled center, "whittler." When it arrives, it will get the once over, but it looks like it's in very decent shape. I'll take pictures and post them in the appropriate location(s).

I woke up this morning to an email telling me I had won an auction I had set a snipe on several days back and forgot about. (gives new meaning to "set it and forget it" :lol: ) I bid because I see it as an oddity. It's a Rough Rider five blade Mini-Trapper. Case made one but I would rather experience one at Rough Rider prices.

Seller's pictures of course. Duh.
