It's In The Mail

gwelker62 · Post by **gwelker62** » Sat Feb 04, 2017 5:25 pm

Think I scored a good'n here. It was a new listing and had a buy it now price way less than most others listed and less than most were getting bid up to without a box or papers. Doesn't have the right sheath, but does have the reg paper filled out that documents the original owner. I like that lil bit of provenance. I pulled the trigger not knowing the serial#, but told the seller to check it to make sure it had one before sending. They msg me back to tell me it's 08309! Schweet.. might be first year production?

I got 4 more Schrades in the mail too! And got my eye on a couple more auctions ending today hoping to win cheap.

Hey, I'm just trying to make up for lost time.

Two different purchases that go together: a Buck 119 from Hank Hansen here at AAPK - inverted 3-line tang stamp with four Micarta spacers - per the USPS tracker it is out for delivery. The correct sheath for my knife, bought off ebay, is on the way and should arrive Monday to match up with the knife. That will be a 1972 variation for my Buck collection. OH

Imma little depressed... have nothing coming in the mail at the moment.

Maybe I will win an auction today.

I don't feel so down now... scored a minty 898UH w/ box and papers today.

This will be my first S.C.C.+ Uncle Henry acquisition.

That's the way to cheer yourself up - knives are much, much cheaper than counseling services! OH

Nice score. You beat me out by one dollar.

Glad an AAPK member won it.

I probably should feel bad for beating ya, but I don't. LOL

But hey, I'd feel the same way knowing another AAPK member won.

You know the old saying.....You can't win 'em all....if we did, we'd all be broke!

Either way, I've got this Fight'n Rooster coming my way soon. Bought it off the BF exchange today. Never saw this pattern before. A 2 blade cotton sampler that measures around 3 1/2" inches.

Whadda yu think? Gunstock Cotton Sampler. It's a first for me.

Colonel26 · Post by **Colonel26** » Mon Feb 13, 2017 4:52 am

Sure is an interesting cotton sampler. I've never seen one.

I have this one in coming from our very own Paladin! Can't wait to get her home and put her with my Orvet custom rehandled in bone.

This is an original bone handled Western folding hunter. Look at that pretty bone!

Wade that is some spectacular Bone!

KnifeSlinger#81 · Post by **KnifeSlinger#81** » Mon Feb 13, 2017 5:58 am

Wade you must be very happy to have that one, what a rare beauty!

Case XX sowbelly ebony

Colonel26 · Post by **Colonel26** » Mon Feb 13, 2017 12:52 pm

Thanks guys. And a big thanks to Paladin. I'm real excited to get it. I have one in bone that has the original bone on one side and a replacement on he other that Orvet did up. He matched them so well that it's hard to tell which is new and which is old. But this is the first folding hunter with all original bone for me.

Good looking sowbelly! I've long lusted after the chestnut bone CV sowbelly from CASE myself.

Got a CASE Red G-10 6318 NIB coming and a CASE Orange Peel Tuxedo coming!! John

Old Hunter · Post by **Old Hunter** » Wed Feb 15, 2017 3:08 am

All that reading on the perfect knife got me to reflecting on my favorite EDC - a 1980 Case 6318 HP - it is nearly the perfect knife - if that Spay was just a Pen it would be that much better. Got browsing around on ebay (dangerous habit) and found a mint 1980 Case 6318 HE - got the Pen in lieu of the Spay - by tomorrow I should be able to say, 'it's in the mail!' OH

KnifeSlinger#81 · Post by **KnifeSlinger#81** » Wed Feb 15, 2017 3:11 am

Nice one OH! I find a pen more useful than a spey most of the time.

Old Hunter · Post by **Old Hunter** » Fri Feb 17, 2017 10:28 pm

Me too Paul. Got these two on the way from Paladin at Sweetwater, couple of Camillus era Buck pocketknives, down to buying variations nowadays! OH

Colonel26 · Post by **Colonel26** » Fri Feb 17, 2017 10:49 pm

Wow OH! You're on a roll. That old CASE is fine and so are the BUCK knives.

sakoblade · Post by **sakoblade** » Sun Feb 19, 2017 5:19 pm

I just won this E C Simmons Keen Kutter and will have it home in a few days I hope.

Will post better pics when it arrives.

All the best!
