Man, Amazon is faster than a Chevrolet. Had my daughter order this on Saturday and it showed up in today's mail. So fast it almost made my head spin.
Sturdy looking knife. Like the blade and the handles.

Just received 2 "new-to-me" customs. The first is a Lloyd swayback in Musk-ox

This other is a fairly new maker (to me), but he does make a fine knife...I think the material is Ivory G-10

A couple of good looking Wharnies glennbad.

Those are awesome makes me wonder on forum members that get new knives of how many of us are bidding against each other on the bay.

I got this teriffic Phil Wilson designed Spyderco Bow River skinner in for review from JamieinWV today, and although it's a fixed blade and I'm a folder guy it's still a really nice little knife! 8 1/4" oal, 8Cr13MoV full tang trailing-back blade, SS pins and lanyard tube, and layered black/gray G-10 covers! Really comfortable to hold and as sharp as they come! A sturdy leather riveted belt sheath comes with the skinner! Because Jamie knows my penchant for BIG knives he included the humungous 5 1/2" oal cleaver for some serious vegetable chopping! LOL!
Marco, I always enjoy the upswept tip and big belly of that blade pattern. It is ideal for my style of knife defensive tactics. This of course is a theoretical issue.

Thanks for your comments Garry. I didn't know exactly how to describe that blade pattern and was torn between drop-point and straight-back, but then I read the included literature and they called it a trailing-back blade so that's what I went with.

Yep, that's my new knife Ken. Even though I'm only able to use it indoors I've been able to slice up some meat, cut string, and tear-down cardboard boxes, and I can totally agree with you, I love my Bow River!
Straight outta Illinois is this dandy Camco barlow.
Good ol' Jerry D answered my plea's
Snappy, solid half stops on both blades, steel liners ...
Sorry for the terrible photo but it's still raining.

aint it funny how the night moves
Well, I had to make the trip to the post office today to retrieve this knife because it required a signature and the mail people don't accommodate that any longer due to the virus, so, technically I'm still gonna say it's a "Mail Call" knife! It was made in and shipped from Russia, and before you start sending me death threats I ordered it long before the trouble started and it simply took this long to get here. A 9 3/4" oal "Cadet" lockback with a D2 drop-point blade minus a n/n since the blade is wide enough to just pinch open, NS hardware, and ebony covers. Came with a very nice supple tanned leather hand stitched sheath that has been scrimshawed/engraved. This is a very nice folder that's steeped in quality materials and Russian workmanship!
