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

Thank you Skip. Its too bad the NKCA seems to be moribund near as I can tell.

For anyone who doesn't read the Mini-Trapper threads, this one showed up a little over an hour ago.

Great color Jerry and I really like the blade selection on that one.

QS, Jerry, you two get together and we can have Christmas. Great looking knife Garry. Jerry that green is smooth and deep.

Today, my afternoon trip to the post office yielded this crop of knives. First up is an "unbranded", single blade, 1 tool (corkscrew), "Deer Head" pocket knife. It needed no cleaning. Next is an Imperial, 2 blade, "Deer Head" pocket knife. It required a VERY thorough cleaning. Last is the CAMILLUS 200 Commemorative Set. The knife is a 3 blade, stockman pocket knife. It didn't need any cleaning. My Adolphus & Anheuser Busch pocket knife & straight razor prints arrived also (not pictured in this thread). I took some pictures and here are the knives.

Those are some really good looking knives Skip. I especially like that first one.

Extra fine coloring on thatTrapper Jerry. Must have come from Ireland.

Thanks fellas. I'm very satisfied.

Thanks fellers. David, the Corps is special to me and so are the Marine Corps knives I have. I said it somewhere else but it bears repeating, a Marine would buy just about anything if it had the Eagle, Globe & Anchor on it.

Makes birthdays easier, for sure...

Arrived unexpectedly in the mail on Thursday. Early Father’s Day gift from my son-in-law. He’s out of town for work and won’t be back in time to hoist a cold one with me tomorrow but wanted to make sure I knew he was thinking about me.

Very nice, both the gift and the reason. The 307 is the large stockman akin to the Case 75, no? I have none in my herd as of yet...

Fished a little Schrade 863 with new handles out of the bay.

I think I know what I want to do with a spare shrinkydink yet full-bladed 1047 I have around here... Thanks for the inspiration!

Got this from one of Scott's suburban "missions" this week...

Beautiful 863 DogLeg.!!

This morning I retrieved these two knives from the post office. A BOKER 1786, 3 blade stockman and a SCHRADE 863, 3 blade, "whittler" pocket knife. Neither one needed any cleaning. I took some pictures and here they are.

Wow......Just WOW! Very nice additions!!

This Fighting Rooster turned up in my mail box. Its 3 3/4" Red Bone Jack made for the NKCA as a Youth Knife for 1997.

Awesome additions for sure. I know you are proud to add those bad boys!!

Very nice knife TB.

I got a Cutco 1888 in the mail today. Been wanting to try this one for a couple of years now, and I quite like it. It is light, the handle very grippy and comfortable to hold, the scissors work great, nad it has both plain and serrated blades. And it's the same size as a 58mm SAK (1990s USN seal edition shown). Few Victorinox and Wenger SAKs at this size (3" closed) featured them, and they are all limited models with short runs.

Unfortunately, the blades are both pretty dull, the main blade has a little wiggle, and Cutco's warranty department is closed until 2021 due to COVID. But, I did find a new lockback for only $20, and it should be here in a few days. Cutco does the lightweight knife very well. More expensive than a budget Buck, Case, or Gerber lightweight, but not quite Spyderco. I kinda wish they'd bring back aluminum handles like they had in the ALCAS era under Alcoa/Case ownership. When they open back up, I'm shipping this knife off; and will probably buy another when I can. Cutco no longer produces this model--they do still produce this frame, but in a configuration of a golfer's tool, with divot repair thingy and blade.

That's gotta be some of the most convincing plastic stag I have seen.

Neat Camillus set too. First I've seen with a Stockman and not a penknife.
