Re: It's In The Mail
Cody, Chris & Boji,
Those will all be some fine Christmas Candy!
Just picked up a Gustav Voss Solingen pen knife for € 8,75 shipped to add to my EDC rotation. My first Voss brand knife. Pictures of it are bad. Looks like it could use a cleaning.
It's a real "LIMIITED--ADDITION"! Meaning= My funds were Limited but I really needed an Addition.

Those Alox knives are awesome. I’ve got a couple myself, but no colors.
Are you sure your wife ain’t kin to my wife, mine gives me that look too. It’s usually after I speak. I have no idea why though.

Re: It's In The Mail
Just picked up another "LIMIITED--ADDITION". MOP pen knife. Cool little story about how I got it for €6.60 shipped. Seller was asking €6 starting bid plus €1.60 for shipping or best offer. I offered €3 but nothing happend & the offer time ran out. 
I asked for a counter offer from the seller. But again, nothing happend.
So I made a second offer of €5 with a note.
I told the seller I wanted the knife because next year is our 30th Wedding Anniversary & that's the Pearl Anniversary. The seller wrote back saying "Hmmmmmm, how could I say no to that? Although I should keep it now, next year is our 30th Anniversary too."
Clean little MOP pen for €6.60.
Works for me.

Re: It's In The Mail
Starting to spend that Christmas money...
These two Nisaku knives had typically only been marketed in Japan and were often $40-50. The US importer had ceased selling them and was clearing them out for $15 each.
Nisaku's field knife line is derived from their plastic-handle Hori Hori, but with flat standard cutting blades, as opposed to the "trowel" of a Hori Hori. Both have 7.5" inch blades--pretty poor for utility use, but big enough for heavy chopping.
The steel used is DSR-1K6, equivalent to AUS-6, and with an HRC of 58. I have had good luck with older Japanese-made folders I've got with AUS-6 blades, so it should hold up to heavy use.
I had originally wanted the chisel-tip version, as I wanted something like a dive knife for hard use, but with a blade that could actually take a decent edge that wasn't Becker or Eickhorn priced and not Chinese made.
It is called the Mizukatana. I figure for light prying and scraping, the chisel tip will get the job done.
However, for the same price and free shipping, I added the pointed blade "Bowie" as well.
The pointed blade Rikugatana is apparently not AUS-6 like the chisel tip model, but at $15, a heckuva lot cheaper than the part-serrated Kabar.

Re: It's In The Mail
Officially my first purchases for the new year.
I found a place that had a 40% off everything sale for New Year's. However, they were odd in that some items were well above MSRP, others at MSRP. I only bought a couple of things I wanted that were MSRP.
Leatherman Bond. Lost the one I bought (the first production run, actually) when they first came out and had tried other tools. Nothing other than the Rebar really matched it, and that's "temporarily missing". I paid the $50 MSRP when it was new--got this one for $35. I'm still on the fence about adding a Free pocket clip back on this one, as I lost my Bond solely because of it.
The same place had the BMC Toys/Timmee Toys Plastic Army Women. Basically, it is a "gender-flipped" set, as all of the soldiers are women (except it seems the stretcher-bearers are male). However, it is also the only current set they offer that includes any kind of medic--there is a nurse, a team of stretcher-bearers, as well as a kneeling medic in action. I bought it for the medical personnel as well as the working dog and handler. It also appears that there is a version of Rosie the Riveter included.
Timmee's MSRP was $15, and this retailer was selling it for $18. I paid $11, which is less than half what the price including shipping would've been from Timmee direct.
Timmee Toys/BMC is one of the last toy companies in the US that still makes things here--and they are a direct descendent of Processed Plastics.
This set I'm leaving as-is. However, I plan to buy several more Timmee items this year, and customizing and painting some of them are on my agenda.

Watching this Thread !!!cody6268 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 28, 2021 1:05 am I've wanted a bit older German-made knife for an EDC. I wanted something that was new enough to where I didn't care about using it (this one appears to be '70s-80s) and is not even close to mint condition (a little beat up, but not bad). I wanted to avoid synthetic handles, too. I have no excuse to NOT carry this one. Last German-made, stag-handle knife I bought ended up getting stashed not long after I bought it (German Boker stag penknife).
Edge Mark (Solingen, Germany) 10-243 Stockman; in what I think may be stag handles. Total cost, $17. I have a bit older "Edge Brand" 460 my Granddad gave me, which is a small stag handle fixed blade with about a 3.5" blade.
Needs just a tiny bit of work (stabilizing a couple of small cracks, replacing the shield), but nothing that shouldn't be a complicated, drawn-out repair.
Anyone got any idea who could have made this for Gutmann?
