I just acquired this knife for best offer. It's a McGrew ARKANSAS, 3 blade, yellow handles, HillBilly Classic, "whittler" pocket knife. It comes with the box. Not my pictures.
Just picked this 501 up for just a bit over retail for a new production and I couldn’t be happier. It’s the first non stockman Buck I have ever purchased. I caught the bug after getting a SFO Buck 501 ( which cost more then this) for Father’s Day

Beautiful 501, CHNeal. You should post about it over in the "New Bucks" thread. Every time I do, I get new information about knives I thought I had known a little about already.
Mail time should be fun for everyone this week!! I picked this Sabre electrician's knife up dirt cheap on eBay for best offer.. can't wait to get it..and this Rough Rider..

They are very good looking knives Ryan. The Rough Ryder is interesting. I'm pretty sure it's Ryder, not Rider.

Thanks Skip! They got me too. Couldn't pass on this one at a fair price. But I do need to take a buying time out now before I really do get in the dog house with my wife.

Very sweet.
Thank you. It’s been a long time since I bought a knife for myself that wasn’t a stockman. I’ll admit to a degree of excitement

You ever get the feeling your collecting focus might be straying off course?4F6A0C5B-8962-4BE1-A521-6A1B6926F01A.jpeg
Beautiful knife! Those slanted bolsters and the proportions beween bolsters/scales looks very good! Nice find!
Focus? Course? I could use some more of those two for sure!

Thank you. They are just great little knives. My wife and daughter both have one in their collections and I’ve always wanted to add one to mine so when I saw it I jumped.

It was PROCESSED THROUGH USPS FACILITY NASHVILLE, TN 37227 @ 0135 this morning so it's possible it could be here tomorrow. Not probable but possible.

Awesome Mini-T, and no, never tired of new knives.

This one is on it's way today. I mainly wanted it for my fishing vest. 1. because I feel it will have better grip than the older smooth side tinker I had for years, and 2. Because it has a Phillips tip on it. And I couldn't resist new for under $30. It's a Victorinox Evogrip 11 with the file blade.

Very similar to this EvoGrip S18. I love it. It just refuses to move from my desk to a folder and I don't push it because I enjoy admiring it. For $36 it's a real bargain. If anything should ever happen to my Whitebuffalo58 custom Camillus 72, the EvoGrip S18 is next in line for my pocket.
