Dan, Jamie, Herb. Excellent!

Tekna Xtra Edge "Watersports Key Ring Knife". Bought these as pocket-carry fixed blades, but I think I'm going to use them as neck knives as well.

I bought both blunt/screwdriver blades (which still offers enough of a point for opening packaging) and the regular drop point. While thin and just under 3.5" OAL, they're not bad in the hand.

They're both US-made, and use 420HC. They did a good job sharpening them, but I'm not sure on the security of how they attached the handles to the blades.

The blunt tip's handle isn't very secure, and can be pulled off with little effort. Apparently, Tekna doesn't mold the handles on like basically everyone else.

I'm torn on keeping it and sending it back. I may make custom handles for it, but I'm not sure if it's safe as-is. Should likely send it back, but it may be intentional to be able to remove the blade for cleaning.

Herbva,
The 6254 Trapper you have is not Appaloosa bone. It is just a trait of the dye process during the late 70's and continuing into the 1990's. As far as I know the Appaloosa bone handled knives started in 1979 with the A being added in front of the pattern number. Case has made random production runs of various Appaloosa bone handled knives since then. I hope this helps. Rick.

Like new, in the box with original paper wrap and card, no wear on the blades and never put to a stone. Another that the bone said take me home.

picked up this mess

They look pretty good from here bud!

These 2 puppies arrived today and I couldn't be happier. I spent about an hour cleaning them up and that's all (none of Herb's custom mods). The Case '54 looks like "appaloosa" bone to me, but I don't seen an "A" in the pattern stamp. Anyone know when Case started adding the "A" to the pattern stamp for appaloosa? Oh, and the '54 came from an actual, real auction (Zottlemoyer in Fogelsville PA). I bid on 8 different auctions that day (on-line), and got beat by people who were there in person on all of them except this one. Sorry for the dark pics, I just lost most of the sunlight for today.

Herb! Both gorgeous knives, but when I saw your new Maserin open I started drooling! Stunning!

Wow, a very fruitful day at your mailbox today Smitty, congratulations on all those beautiful pieces! I nearly fainted when I came across the gunstock in the last picture, and immediately began picturing it with only 1 blade! Stunning knife!

Thanks Marc. Yes Sir, that Appaloosa Bone will talk to you. It did to me anyway. I believe it would look good with any amount of blades. But "IF" I could get it in one blade, I think it would look awesome with a Wharncliffe blade.

[Madmarco]

Ahh yes, Smitty! I hadn't even thought that far ahead, I just pictured 1 blade, but with a Wharnie blade... !

You never know what the stamps.com app will use. But it will save quite a bit on shipping charges, you have to send out 8-10 packages a week to make the savings but you never know what tracking number system they hit you with.

Great pick-ups, y'all! Herb, what year is the Case? John, I believe that'll be a great companion for your woods wanders! And Smitty...no wonder those had to come your way; they're stunning!

A thanks to Doglegg for the kind words!

The mailman brought me a pair of Opinel No. 6s in olivewood today. A small water stone and a dishwasher-safe paring knife were also in the package.

[doglegg]

That Olive wood looks good.

[Dan In MI]

Thanks, Doglegg! I was also surprised by how dense it is.

[jmh58]

Best folders for the money Dan.
Nice looking wood on those too!!
