Received my RR Old Southwest Series. I'm really pleased with this set. Glad I pulled the trigger on these.

My photos DO NOT do these justice. (I need to redo them in natural lighting...like, outdoors)

Beautiful set. It’s amazing what they’ve done with there knives,very pleasing to look at. Bet they feel great in hand!
Thanks for sharing your pics,stay warm.

This one came in the Mail Box today. another addition to my camillus 72 clone family. A Hammer Brand Swell Center three blade whittler. It has the Hammer Brand USA tang stamp circa 1945-55. Brown composite handles with the plain oval shield. The handles have shrinky dink syndrome with some shrinkage due to age. The blades are tight, Secondary Clip and Coping blade have great snap, the Main Clip blade has weak snap. The blades have some scratches and some spotting but overall full and great shape. This is my second Hammer Brand swell center whittler and is in considerably better shape than the first one I had. Here are some photos, all I've done is oil the joints.

This Ruike P865-Q came today. Don't ask me why I bought it. Cool blade I guess. And yes, it's out of China.
I liked the blue. The thumb-stud is difficult for me to work but it will just disappear into one of the folders so no biggie.
Sellers picture. Too late in the day to take pictures.

Edit: Have some great sunlight coming in the window this morning so I managed to get the pictures taken. No country of origin marked on the knife but I think we all know where it came from.

Papa Bones you did good. I especial like the Hammer Brand tang stamp. I know I have at least one but I don't think as clean as yours. Excellent pick up.

Jerry, what’s your opinion of this knife? I’ve been curious about Ruike for some time and wondered if they made quality pieces or not?

Got my first Weidmannsheil. Might have to get another one.

It's fine. Seems to be well built and if I could get past that poorly located thumb stud I would say the operation is smooth and easy. I would prefer to have a nail nick as opposed to the thumb stud. That may be just me because I have issues with all thumb studs. I don't think it's worth $35 but again maybe the thumb stud has soured me on it. Very sharp out of the box and I think I bought it just for the blade profile. Meah. Mixed feelings. I won't give it away but I won't buy another either.
