The watch is a fitness watch and will monitor my BP, Heart Rate, Oxygen level and some other stuff I haven't figured out yet.
The knife is a TRIVISA. I don't know anything about the company yet so if you know something or can point me in the right
direction I would appreciate it. Here is the Amazon description: "TRIVISA Pocket Traditional Knife, Handmade Folding Knives with Leather Sheath, 3in Single ​Bohler M390 Powder Steel Blade, TC4 Titanium & Desert Ironwood Handle with Gift Case."
Never heard of Trivisa but it looks like a nice knife. ::nod:: It also looks like the handles could be removed without taking the knife completely apart, meaning you could slap G10, Stag or anything else on it you wanted to. That would be fun for someone like me with no MOD expierience. ::nod:: ::super_happy::

Nice looking watch too! ::tu:: ::super_happy::
Thank you! I won't be trying to put any new handles on it anytime soon, not at the price I paid through Amazon. They are even higher through other vendors.

Sorry, but I've never been a fan of the buckshot jigging.

What company owns the Western name? I would almost bet the farm that it was made in China. ::hmm::
All that said, it is pretty well made, blades close with rubbing, good snap, would make a good Sunday knife.001.JPG003.JPG

Very cool little knife Philip! ::tu:: I love the covers! ::nod:: I think it would work for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday too, not jus' Sunday! LOL! 8)

I really like the Half-Hawk design, ::tu:: Buckshot covers not so much! ::td:: When I first saw the Buckshot I thought I really liked it, but the more of it I see the less I like it, somethin' about it looks fake to me. Since you have no regrets I'm sure you'll enjoy this knife just as much as all your others, and it'll always be a Half-Hawk regardless of what covers it's sporting! 8)

Recently purchased from Kaleb "Muskratman" R., a genuine Italian one-of-a-kind original handmade Antonio Contini 11" picklock swinguard automatic knife! Brand new it sells for about US$900., and Kaleb charged me less than half of that for gently used, thanks man, I love my new knife! 8)

You said a mouthful there, Marco. You have heard me say it before, but that's okay: the Italians have a great flair for design in most anything they produce. Congratulations on a splendid acquisition.

Yah, I was a bit long-winded on that one Garry! LOL! And you can repeat yourself all day long, my memory isn't what it use to be and I don't want to miss any info you supply. Thanks for your appreciation for a fine knife! 8)

Good afternoon everyone, picked up these two recently. I’ve been more on a Boker and Hen & Rooster pickups recently, but couldn’t resist these two. I’ve always liked Queen, but they’re so darned expensive now. Always wanted a yellow Buck Creek Solingen big stockman, so I’m really stoked to have picked it up. It’s a user, nothing special, but it’s a hell for stout knife. So is the Queen in D2. Looking forward to hitting the big Tulsa show in April this year. Stay safe everyone, and here’s hoping 2022 is much better than ‘21 was.

Just picked up this Bear MGC knife. I think it is a 205R. I don't know why I purchased it other than I just liked it and the price was right. :)
