You either Like them or Hate them, Riggers knife... I picked up these two this week 2004 Case XX 62146 with locking spike (believe to be made by Camillus) and a mid 70s Case XX 6246 made by case in non locking spike with a bail.

Jamie, I LIKE THEM!!

Thanks ccc, toomany, dogglegg…..I didn’t realize I liked them until I started looking in my display case and saw 6-8 of them..

My first Bulldog came in the mail today ... was purchased from SSK ... looks like I am starting another collection!

Many Thanks Mark ... really like the knife!

What a beautiful and stunning "Dog", Tony, congratulations and welcome to your newest addiction!
As it was said, your photographic skills are 2nd to none, and not only for this post, all of them.
Garry said that if you buy your BD's from Mark you will always get the best quality, and all I can add is that applies for any knife you buy from Mark, he's a true purveyor of fine pocket cutlery!

[Madmarco]

Excellent C-wade ... appreciate the shout out you gave ... That Cobratec is VERY NICE!

They were super nice people. I like the cobratec, decides to save the extra $40 and get the horn over the stag. It will need a little breaking in to get a bit smoother but still works well. The Gunstock Rosecraft is flawless and great in the hand, I like the black with the spade shield, I’m really impressed with it.

"....it will need a little breaking in to get a bit smoother....."
Quick Release oil, Coley!
I really like your other choices, too!

Great pick-ups everyone!

Here are a few I picked up at the Louisville Gun & Knife show this weekend. I probably went a little overboard with the Queens & Schatts, but there was such a good selection, I just couldn't seem to put'em all back. The most quality traditional folders I've seen at a Louisville gun show in a long time.

That's pretty. The dogs are some sweeties, Quick Steel got me looking and man they made some beauties. Congrats.


Looked at a lot of Kephart style fixed blades and got hooked but never seem to see them in stag. So, did the next best thing. Got a blade blank from Condor and some Elk antler from Oregon Antler Works and have a new home made shop project for half the price. More pics later as work progresses.

If your knife comes out looking anything like it's raw materials, Iman, it should be a good one they're in pristine condition starting out.
It will be interesting following the progression of your project, I know I will be!

[Madmarco]

Grabbed another Leek to add to my Leek pile. Can never have too many Leeks!

One of my favorite EDC's ~Q~!IMG_0001 (13).JPG

Nice pair of EDC's, Kerry, they both look like they'd do the job!

[Madmarco]

The mailman didn't deliver this one. I actually got in the car last week, drove to the store, and bought it. How old school, right? It's a GEC #87 English Jack, marked "S" for store or second. Looks nearly perfect to me.

That's a great knife you bought, Tom, it is most attractive.
And I can hardly believe my eyes, you actually went outside to buy it, are you mad, are you mad???
Nice GEC, man, enjoy it!

Mighty useful looking knives, Jamie, with those attachments they look like they would cover any task onboard!
Cool knives, buddy!

Many thanks Marco ... to avoid any "Mark" confusion. I am very please with the "Dog", and will have to "get me another one"! I say that a lot cause a deer hunter I watch on youtube will say after each kill, "got me...one". It's not a profound statement, but it's the way he says it. His name is The Hunting Beast Dan Infalt. Anyway, I am off topic now ... back to knives!

You didn't pick up a fee, you bought a collection!!!

[QTCut5]

Wow, Kevin, you must've made quite a few enemies at that show of every guy who was standing behind you waiting for their turn at the knife tables since you scooped all the best ones and made out like a bandit.

Every one of them is a score but I'm particularly drawn to those TV Mammoth PJs and that incredibly rare/hard to find Case I254W is the ultimate show stopper. Great catch!

Thanks, Madmarco. Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking. I didn't even wear a mask or a helmet.

Thanks CCC, doglegg, & Q! Appreciate All your feedback... Fortunately Q, I don't think I made too many enemies. I bought all of my haul from Mr. David Swain, who was kind enough to let me sit behind the table and sort through a couple hundred boxes of knives. If you're reading this David, thanks again for all the deals we worked out this weekend.

Thank you Mr Vine, you have been out of the hospital now for month or so, I hope you have no lingering issues or effects from the hospital stay. Sure hope you are better heading into springtime ( well here soon, I know you are in the freezer up there in the great white north).

What a haul. Congrats. Lots of beauties in there. Really like the S&M whittler, the TDrop spear in ACSB, and those Phoenix Jack's in ivory.Great scores.

[Ivoryman]

Look forward to seeing the Condor when finished IMan!

Thank you CCC, appreciate the encouragement and interest, will for sure get pics of the stages.

Thank you Ken, appreciate your comment and interest and will keep the photos coming as I work on it.

Thank you too Marco, pics forthcoming as it happens.

Thanks for the comments all.

Thanks I-Man! I couldn't agree with you more... I obviously love the Ivories as well, and that whittler really spoke to me with those beautiful bone handles and a pattern that I love. And I fell in love with that teardrop pattern with the spear a while back when Q posted one on here, so I was thrilled to get a good deal on that one. Thanks again bud.

[QTCut5]

Really like the TDrop spear in ACSB

I fell in love with that teardrop pattern with the spear a while back when Q posted one on here

And my ACSB Teardrop was a gift from Ivoryman. I guess that's what is known as "the circle of knife"!

Oh man, thats a real haul. Those schatts are really nice.

[knifeaddict1965]

Thanks Rob! Appreciate your feedback. I was really happy to get the opportunity to get that many Schatts. I more than doubled the amount I previously had in one weekend.
