And...this one. I've seen a few of these laying around in here lately. Sorry...bad lighting, but we know what it looks like.

I really like these! Hope I can find one of those over here but I haven't yet.

This High Carbon Steel Trapper arrived today. Can still see a little of the Craftsman Sta-Sharp etch.

Great looking scales!

[TPK]

Wow KLJ those are amazing. Love the S&M’s
Here is what I have received over the last few days. All GEC 35’s. 4 Maher and Grosh and 2 Beer and Sausage knives. I think these Maher and Grosh 35’s are some of the best GEC has made, they are that good.

Beautiful "Line-Up" Mark!

Bought this back on August 19th. And then the confusion began. It didn't get shipped so I sent a message to the seller. Seller responded that he had been in an automobile accident and had been in the hospital. Okay. Stuff happens. The next thing I know, the auction was cancelled. Say whaaaa? I applied for and after much going's on, received a refund. Today the knife showed up in my mailbox. I'm pleased but very confused. So I sat down and wrote the seller a check for the knife and shipping. I'll get that in tomorrow's mail. Very confusing but I'm glad to get the knife.

Now I understand, thanks for the story and congratulations. Sweet.

I'll have to agree with I-Man, that Queen is INSANE SWEET!

Got this Coast Serpentin or Texas Jack a few days ago. Only minus point about it is that the springs & liners are not % flush with each other. But other than that, it puts on a very good show. It makes a nice addition to my EDC's. (It's a thin Line between Showcase & EDC)

It has two stamps Port. USA & Ireland. My guess is that Coast contracted these out to be produced in Ireland & then maybe assembled in Portland which would explain the ( 1/2 - 1mm ) difference between liners & springs. But I'm just guessing on that. Other than that one point, the F&F is very nice.

(FYI) The same seller also has two Coast knives with double stamps but they are stamped Port. USA & Japan and both have bone handles.

Anyways, here are some bad pictures of it. Take Care & Thanks for looking!

Tom,

As best as I have been able to determine, Coast Cutlery has NEVER made a knife. Everything that I have seen with their name on could be traced back to some maker - Western, Imperial, Camillus,etc. Western made fixed blades for them starting back in the 1950s.

Got in a Mudbug and a Schrade Cut Co Jack knife today.

[Ripster]

Received my new Maher and Grosh #14 knife . The handles are awesome and the Fit and finish work is excellent. The main has double swedge and long pull, ,the etch is well done. They did a great job on these, missed out on the trapper oh maybe next time. Have a good one.

Ripster, those Maher and Grosh knives are over the top aren’t they?

I got a new one today. Madmarco is influencing me. This is a CRKT called the CEO. It’s designed to be worn in your shirt pocket like a pen and it’s just about the same size as a pen. The slender blade is amazingly sharp. The carbon fiber handles are really nice looking. It will deploy out completely with a little practice. My fear is that when it moves out and my thumb slips off the thumbstud and the blade is not fully deployed, I will slice my thumb. Not a knife to hand to a friend to try out, unless you carry bandages with you. I think the slender design works against it if you have fat thumbs. Still, I really like this knife and intend to carry it.

Edit to post, the handles on this are not carbon fiber, they are glass reinforced nylon or GRN.

[Ripster]

SSK yes The guys at Maher Grosh do great work !!!
That CEO looks to be a dandy ,don’t let it bite you. How’s the price on those?

Thanks for sharing! I have one of these also. I think it's a pretty cool knife, skinny like a pen and very sharp. Mine opens real easy too.

Prices range from about 40 to 65 depending on where you get it. Not bad really.

[Ripster]
