Sweet Score Dan! Congrats Buddy! That's a real beauty!
They tempted me too but the distance between Germany & Hawaii & figuring out how to get money to him makes it all just seem too complicated for me to mess with. It's better if I just stick to eBay.

Dan...I hope you read the 'fine print' on the sales contract...particularly the part wherein Mini-T Monkey maintains random, unannounced, 24/7/365 visitation rights in perpetuity.

Speaking of those pesky monkeys, a new billing period on my Master Card presented an opportunity to grab this Black Alox Pioneer off eBay. Should be here on Tuesday.

Thanks guys. Here's what I came home with. Got the Buck 055 that I wanted and the wife got the Case Stockman for me. Very happy with both of them and the river drive was very relaxing.
The clerk at GPK let me choose between 4 Buck 055's that he had in stock. I picked out the one with the "blackest" Ebony Wood. Had a beer and a good lunch too.

Re: It's In The Mail
Congrats Rick, great to see you score a good one. Wish I could take a day trip and get to a knife dealer. They are about all gone around these parts. Like the ebony Buck too. Have been looking at these bone handled 303s. Definitely got me looking and interested. Congrats and good show. Glad you had a nice trip with the wife too.

Did you have lunch at the BBQ place? Smoke Fire Grill I believe is the name.

Re: It's In The Mail
Thanks Iman! I hope you can snag a bone handled 303. I'm saving my pennies for a Buck 112 next year. 2022 is the 50th Anniversary of the 112 and I've heard that C.J. Buck has big plans for the 112's next year. Not quite sure what that means but I'm pretty confident that I will want at least one.Ivoryman wrote: ↑Sat Jul 03, 2021 9:38 pm Congrats Rick, great to see you score a good one.

Re: It's In The Mail
If I commented on every knife that deserves recognition I’d be here all night. Suffice it to say that you fellas are all flashing some mighty pretty steel!
I just picked this pair up on the Bay. My granddad carried an Imperial as far back as I can remember. I have it but never carry it for fear of loosing it. Now I’ve got a couple of my own!
I never thought of myself as a knife collector until I fell in with this crowd, now I want MORE!

Re: It's In The Mail
Thanks Jerry! Appreciate it!
I already have a Mini Trapper just like this one. It was my very first Case knife & my wife bought it for me. So now this is my first real matching pair of Case knives. Now that I have a second one, I might (might) carry this one. Haven't made up my mind on that yet.
It would be a good 4th of July carry! I already have a white Case EDC. Then I'd just need a red Case EDC before next year rolls around. Then I'd have all three flag colors as Case EDC's. That would be cool.
Of course if I had a red Case EDC then I would need a green one as well for Christmas.
