Mail Call !-Post your new pick-ups here............

No, it was something my bank account said, (it said "hey, do you like eating? Then you better lay offa the pocket knife thing for awhile".). I'm kinda sorta caught up I think, so I should be around more in the future. I've also been trying to pay off an expensive piece of sound equipment I thought I couldn't live without, so that has cut into my knife budget too. But, I saw this old beauty and couldn't resist giving myself a Christmas present, so I'm back to my old self again!

I know the words to that song. For some reason I just can't seem to bring myself to sing it. I guess I just don't mind rice and beans. Good to see you posting again. You know you don't really need to post a knife every time. Just hanging out here is good enough.

Great hok I'd shore be proud to tote it.

Thanks, I know, it was just a long summer with a lot of unexpected expenses which kept me distracted, but it was also trying to learn how to use a digital sound mixer and Windows 10 at the same time, (btw: I HATE W10, though I kinda/sorta learned how to use it.), that was a daily chore for days at a time. I'm now wondering what knives I missed a chance to own while I was "distracted".

Today's trip to the post office produced another Imperial "deer head" pocket knife for the zoo. I gave it a little cleaning, took some pictures and posted them below.

[Quick Steel]

Skip your new knife looks virtually mint.

Thank you. It was in much better condition than I thought it would be. Quite pleased and for $1.04 plus shipping.

Today I got a knife mail call, (first in a long time), a R1063 Remington with a lot of usage but in very good condition. I really like the truly pocket worn jigged bone handles. From a members only auction on IKC Forum.

Very nice old knife.

Here is what the Post Rider brought to Ponder Country today.
Shinwa---Black Takegara; G10 textured handle w/clip; stainless steel blade; 5” closed; Made in China.
Kutmaster—Barlow; two stainless steel blades; N/S bolsters; brass liners and pins; simulated bone handle.
Camillus--(From the producer) "Yello-Jaket knives are back! These pocket knives range from 1 to 4 blades. Blades are AUS-8 Japanese polished steel and are corrosion resistant. Carbon fiber body accents give this line of knives a unique and distinguished look.. Overall Length (Inches): 2.5 (closed). Blade Length (Inches): 1.75. Etched Clip blade. Lifetime warranty." I have no idea what year the Kutmaster and Camillus are, but the Shinwa is new.

My wife Cheryl said this hobby was starting to cost a lot of money, to which I replied "honey we are waaaaay past worrying about that!" I may be eating a cold hotdog tonight.

Hi David,

Really like your new Barlow! Great size! Nice score!

[dlr110]

Well another delivery from the Post Rider today.
It's a single surgical steel blade, lockback from Parker Cut Co. Brass bolsters, liners and pins. Smooth bone handle. Appears to be a very well made knife. I think I will use it as one of my EDC knives for a while.

That ole postman came by my house too.












Ole smokey had a pretty good sale going on and free shipping, so I got a few I'd been wanting.

You took the words right out of my mouth Mark, impeccable knife Joe .

[dlr110]

All right bighomer, touchdown!!! That is a fine set of RR's.

"On top of ole smokie, all covered in cheese, I lost my poor meatball, those three make me, very very pleased", .

Couldn't help me self Big H, brought back fond memories of my childhood . Great knives by the way!

[kootenay joe]

dlr, your Parker "Mustang" LB is a good looking knife. Not many collectors appreciate them so it's buyer's market. The best of the Parker, Japan, LB's is the "Grey Ghost". I have a couple but am not at home to take pictures.
