It's In The Mail

Nice score, Skip!

Thank you Steve.

Quite different from your other ones Skip.

Thank you Floyd. It isn't my usual Imperial "animal head", but I couldn't resist.

Looks to be in very fine condition. Can't make out the brand but I'll get it when it arrives.

Thank you Quick Steel. It's supposedly unbranded except for the "ROSTFREI" tang stamp.

Just put in an order with Smokey Mountain.

So..., the showcase I bought won't be coming.

The seller wrote to me and said it got stolen. She had it in an unlocked storage room in the basement of an apartment complex & when she went to get it so she could mail it to me, it was gone without a trace. Women.

It was too good to be true for $33 shipped. That stinks!!! I searched for months to find the right look, price & size and it gets stolen. Man!!!

Thanks, Tom.
Sorry to hear about your showcase. I pray you'll find a really nice one that will fit your needs and be wallet friendly!

I bought the three colors of Buck 722 Spitfire's that existed back in 2013/2014. I also got the three colors they made for Wal-Mart (same knife, called a 721, with a couple of minor differences). Orange, Green & Gray. Since then Buck has introduced Brown, Blue, Red, Black, Black Blade & White Handle and Yellow which are all almost twice the price of the originals. I've ignored them until now. Found a NIB Yellow one for what I considered a decent price and it's in route.

A very similar situation happened to me a couple months ago Tom.
I found a "R.M.S. Aquitania" ship knife that my Uncle sailed to France on during his deployment to WW1. After I purchased it, the seller informed me it was lost during his residential move.

Y'all.... I'm sorry but I have to call BS to this kind of thing. Sellers remorse is out there and if somebody doesn't get what they figured they should have...OR.... if an outsider steps in and says, "I can't believe you sold that thing so cheap"... then, out comes the excuses.
I have been bit by that dog at least twice that I can recall right away.
I mean WHO puts something up for sale that they have a PICTURE OF and then after it sells goes to see IF they can find it..... REALLY??
That kind of thing ticks me off.....

I just purchased this Imperial "longhorn steer" pocket knife. Another welcome addition to the zoo. When it arrives, I'll give it the once over, take some pictures and post them in the appropriate location(s).

I just bought, for best offer, this Imperial "HECHO EN MEXICO" pocket knife. It appears to be in excellent condition. When I receive it, it'll get the once over. Pictures will be taken and posted in the appropriate location(s).

[jerryd6818]

This one should be delivered tomorrow. Tracking says it's departed PALATINE, next stop, Rockford.

This one I ordered today but I don't see any signs of it being shipped. Maybe tomorrow. I just hope the stag is as good as the one in the picture. Where the heck is that crossed fingers Emoji when you need it?

Beautiful Trapper Jerry!

Nice looking Mexican Skip!

The April issue of Knife Magazine has a good article on the made in Mexico Imperials.

I've been wanting one of these whittlers for a while. Finally found one at a fairly reasonable price for a knife I'll be putting to use.

Thank you Tom.

I just bought this, seller claims unbranded, 3 blade, swelled center, "whittler" pocket knife. It is a Camillus 72 variation. Through a process of elimination, I'm 99.99% sure it's an Ulster 63. When I receive it, it'll get the once over. I'll take some pictures and post them in the appropriate location(s).

Ryan, I have a 205 and am quite pleased with it. I'm going to guess that you'll be pleased with yours.

Cool little knife Ryan! I've heard of those before here but had forgotten that brand. Nice find!

Jerry yours looks great also! I'll look on the net just to see what state those were made in. I always find that interesting.
