I took a shot in the blur with this one :lol: I'm quite certain it's peachseed bone and it has threaded bolsters, which was not common on the later delrin models so that's another good indication. Listed as a walden and blades look pretty good. Bone or not it should be good for the price of lunch with a tip.

I've already got a reservation in on the green bone but when I saw the photo of the bloodwood #48 I couldn't resist. So it's on the way...

Tony, I love, love, love that pattern. I wish I could afford to buy one of each handle material produced. Sigh.

I've got the bug for these Case Wharncliffe Mini-Trappers so one more is on it's way to live with me. It's a 2015 6.5 Bonestag.

Cuz I really like the looks of that knife. If I could get one in CV I'd be real tempted myself.

Jerry, I think you will like it. I gifted a freind with one and he loves it. By the way he has already cut himself twice. So it's sharp.

Jerry, stretching it to two knives (plus the Case tribal spears I reserved today, total impulse buy -- oh and the two 72s that arrived today ::facepalm:: ) was pushing it but that bloodwood just called to me. ::woot::

To compensate for my knife-varice, I have to say a firm "no" to the upcoming 66s and hope that GEC doesn't run any of my favorites 'til the new year. ::dang::

Got that exact knife sitting on the table in the living room. :lol: Love it, just wish it were CV. You, sir, have some fine taste in cutlery.

What's the matter with you, a perfect medium stockman and you don't want one? ::poke::

I put in a "sure" reservation for a tidioute jig bone 66, I will likely get a northfield jig bone too. There's also gonna be an ebony tidioute...better get 'em while I can.

The rotten banana bone was the only thing that could have flipped me on the 66. I know they haven't announced two of the bone styles yet but I'm rolling the dice it won't be RBB. I still want one, I just need to teach myself knife-discipline. ::disgust::
KnifeSlinger#81 wrote:What's the matter with you, a perfect medium stockman and you don't want one? ::poke::
I know, I know. The only saving grace this time was that it wasn't an equal-end pattern. I already put in reservations on the Big Jack and on my phone I thought the 66 was a cattle knife. When I realized it was serpentine, I decided to skip it. Got enough serpentine stockman knives to choke a whole field of steer. :lol: It'll be bittersweet to see everyone's lovely new knives, I know it, but them's the sacrifices of a middle-class knife addict! ::shrug::

Make sure you provide plenty of #66 porn when you get 'em, though. I can still live vicariously through AAPK.

With luck my #48 will ship Monday and I'll have it this week to help take the sting away...
