Just got this Sword brand Camillus in and I am happy. I am going to clean it up a little and then I may carry it for a while. Here are a few pictures. The small pen blade has Camillus Cut Co. Camillus NY. USA on it. All the blades are full and nice. Is this a 61 pattern?

When I got back from my business trip a pile of packages were waiting for me from my January buying spree!

Starting at the upper left in this picture and moving around to the right:

1. Case 62087 medium serpentine jack with scissors as the secondary in Bonestag (1996)
2. Case 5120 R SSP Peanut with bail in stag (1980)
3. Case 52033 R SSP Pen with Bail in stag (1980)
4. Case 6220 Peanut in red jigged bone (1965-69) - primary blade looks to be short and reground
5. Case 6220 Peanut in brown jigged delrin (1978)
Center: Case A6220 Peanut in Smooth Appaloosa, bolster numbered, blade etched, with plastic case (1978)

The only one I'm disappointed in is #4 - I did not realize the blade had been re-shaped until it arrived. I should have seen that in the pictures. I paid too much for that one, but the others were all well within my bottom-feeder budget!

Terry, it looks like you're right on track to match my knife-a-day habit. When I mentioned the extent of my addiction, it was intended as a warning, not a recommendation or challenge.

So, how long did it take you to go from your one-knife-per-month limit to

Did nobody warn you this would happen?

Nice pile...and there's still over a week left in the month, so...

Hopefully, I have gotten the frenzy out of my system for a while and I will now settle down a bit. What would probably help is if the rest of you guys would bid all the peanut and pen knives up beyond my pain point so I won't buy them. Help a fella out... :D

Sorry, my friend, but it doesn't work that way. Although it sounds plausible in theory, once you're addicted, higher prices only leads to the bottomless pit of debt, not forced self-control (for that you need a wife!). ::skeptic::

Ed I love that whittler. I'm not sure of the pattern number but I've just always called those a sleeve board whittler. Since that pen blade has a stamp on it it may be older than 1941. Maybe Carmillus will come along and tell us. ::tu::

As far as the peanuts go, I think it's you who raised the prices beyond my "pain point"! ::rotflol::

I've already got a minty Appy peanut so I'm glad it could go to someone who appreciates it. ::handshake::

Haven't been very vigilant about photographing my new pickups since the holiday season. I cobbled together most of my recent pickups over the last month or so and took a few quick snapshots.

Barlows:

Not-Barlows: :lol:

Not pictured: Two stag S&M Barlows from my good AAPK friend Q (QTCut5), a GEC 47 from my other good AAPK friend John (jmh58), and my 2018 GEC arrivals (the #78s). Ugh, I think I'm close to a knife-a-day too since I've got no fewer than 3 knives coming from Scott (AAPK TripleF) and another three Barlows in my shopping cart in the bay. ::facepalm::

P.S. For anyone who replied to my question in the "first knife of 2018" thread... we were all right, and we were all wrong. ::smirk:: The standard "MUSKET-1" Remington granddaddy Barlow by Camillus is in fact jigged black bone. It was the 200th anniversary Remington MUSKET-1 by Camillus that comes standard in sawcut Delrin. Seems weird that a commemorative edition would use less "fancy" materials compared to the standard run knife, but there you go. ::shrug::

It's technically not what we consider a pocket knife (a folder), but it is designed to go in your back pocket.

That's a pretty neat lookin' fixed blade. Looks like it would be mighty handy at helpin' Bambi find a place in the freezer! ::hmm:: What's the thickness of the spine/tang of that one?

It's a fine little knife. I've carried mine a couple of times and it rides very unobtrusively in the hip pocket. A real dandy for the price.

Today's arrivals.....

The True Value is slick but the main blade closes off center enough so it just stops on the middle liner....
