It's In The Mail

[jerryd6818]

Looks like I went a little crazy this past weekend. There are five wending their way to Illinois.

This hasn't been a smooth transaction but I've been able to speak directly to the seller and he seems like a nice guy. Inexperienced at selling on eBay but hey, we all have to start somewhere.

This is a 2002 two blade Case Doctor knife with barbwire bone handles. I've had a 2001 single blade Doc with the barbwire bone handles since about 2001 so this will be a sibling. A pair to draw to, so to speak.

This is an unknown Canoe and the knife I wanted, a Coleman parallelogram shield, Micarta® handled Trapper. I already have one Trapper like it.

Another Coleman parallelogram shield, Micarta® handled Trapper still in the clam pak and so cheap I couldn't resist. So that makes three of these. Where's my self control? Oh, there it is. Higher than the $10 mark.

And last, from the same seller, a Coleman parallelogram shield, Micarta® handled Pen knife still in the clam pak. Same price as the Trapper.
Phew. Man, I've really developed a thing for these Coleman's with the parallelogram shield. "Turn me loose, you silly goose, let me go blubber"

Looks like you hit the jackpot, JerryD. K-nice K-nives

[Colonel26]

Wow cuz! You're on a roll!

[jerryd6818]

Thanks fellers. The great thing is there's not a lot of $ tied up there. (T.J. you think you're a tightwad ) The Colemans are made in Seki Japan (at least the ones with that shield are) and don't seem to have been discovered yet.

Lost out on a Western bird knife but won this Winchester 1936 toothpick from 92.

Hope it's worth it's 30 bucks, shipping included?

I like to refer to myself as a "bargin shopper", thank you very much.

Is that what we are? Thanks. That sounds much classier than "tightwad".

Hey everybody. I'm a "bargain shopper".

Thanks Harold!

I'll post better pics when it arrives.

BTW, what's Black Box Winchester?

All the best!

Jim

[stockman]

Jim Black Box Winchesters were made by Bluegrass Cutlery Queen. Nice knives well made bone handles, but not the old knives from the 20's -40's. Maybe a reproduction is what they are.

Jerry you've gone mad!

Kinda feels that way, Paul.

I have a half dozen. They're fine knives made in the late '80s if my memory isn't failing me. I wouldn't mind having more. Two of mine are Delrin handles (the Peanut & the Whittler) and the rest are bone.

Maybe...I missed out on THREE this weekend. One was my own fault (and would have been the deal of the year) but the other two somehow went north of $50...

[KnifeSlinger#81]

Tsar if you don't mind me asking what was the deal of the year one?

Hey everybody. I'm a "bargain shopper".

Jerryd as a"bagain shopper" and seeing some of the fruits of your assaults on ebay, I would like to see the titles and filters of some of your ebay searches. Or is that a trade secret?

Uh, no. It's not even a secret. I just put in what I'm looking for, hit the go gettie button and wait, like a buzzard in Nebraska.

Oh! You was just joshin'.

I have a bone gunstock, I believe from 1989? Was not aware that it's a Queen product, but they sure did take the build quality to another level on mine. None of the Queen "quirks" that pop up on some of their knives from time to time. Just a beautiful bone gunstock that snaps. They can be had for exceedingly reasonable prices on fleabay every so often.

Tsar if you don't mind me asking what was the deal of the year one?

A stag brass(?)-shielded stockman that went for under $22.

Just missed another one on a small blue minty Coleman pen that went under $20, thanks to technical difficulties.

[sakoblade]

Guys, thank you for all your answers!!

You are the best!!

The tang stamp says 92 so it's a newer one of course. I liked it and it will fit in my collection as it is my first American toothpick.

All if those are newer models but that's a fine start when you try to learn. I did the same when I collected firearms and eventually worked myself back in time.

More pics and info will come when it is home.

All the best!

Schrade Walden rigging knife is on the way. It will be the last edition for my first month of knife 'collecting'. It's outside my quest for early production OT & UH folders, but it was listed cheap, looks unused, and for some reason just struck my fancy.

I'm a stockman guy & of late, I've really come to like the hefty Case HUMPBACK stockman (the sheepsfoot blade is oversize & super stout). Problem is there's very few variations available for this pattern (I just can't get excited anymore about the dime a dozen amber or red bone that are so common).

However, I recently found this limited edition on amazon - it's reportedly a super deep jigged bone chestnut model ... like the idea & had to pull the trigger.

Any chance they ran some of those (or even standard jigged) in CV when they ran some of the other jigged chestnut CV knives? Probably a pipe dream.

Still a tempting pickup even in stainless. Will be interested in any thoughts you have about the knife after receiving it. Thanks for the pointer!
