All About Pocket Knives

I just acquired the Stag Tested Trapper 5254 1920-40 from Knifeaholic. I think it fits in real well with my other 54's.

WOW Tom, what a great group of Very Rare Knives. Thank you for showing them!

Sweet six, museum quality.

Very nice group Tom, I wondered who snagged that trapper from Steve. Bill

Very nice Tom.Looks like there is room for more.

Tom, what a superlative six!

Awesome Tom!

WTB:
Used Case Trapperlock. Looking for a good used Trapperlock it needs to be in decent shape with beltclip. Handle material of any kind is o.k. If you have something like that p.m. me with price. ftd

Thanks for the comments on the 54 pattern trappers, guys. Thanks also to Steve for selling me the Stag one. I appreciate it!

Tom

Great looking trapper collection, Tom.

Anyone see the new Gold Sparkle series that's out?; http://www.casexx.com/Handle/DisplayHan ... AutoID=663

Wondering if it's like Goldstone or different? I always liked the Goldstone look, kind of classic meets modern in my opinion. I don't work for Case or Shepherd Hills, just a fan.


*Edit- the new Gold Sparkle is Kirinite, which is more stable, while the Goldstone was celluloid. Answered my own question.

Newest to me. Recent swap with Q. 2002 Doctor, bone stag.

Some great knives being posted. Thanks for showing them. I picked up this Tested Greenbone Congress the other day. Goes well with my other Case Congress knives that are around it.
Thanks for looking. .

Tom, I really like the Tested Greenbone 88 but then I looked at the others and all I can say is WOW. What a great collection of 88s

Hope to see you at the Parker Show

Some of the best, Tom.[Drool Drool] . Bill

This showed up unannounced in the mail box from master Glennbad. Not only a fabulous surprise, but maybe the coolest knife I have ever seen or had. Some fine ivory work and lanyard editions to a Copperlock provided by Brother Q. Thanks to the both of you. Now I'll probably never again have such a cool knife in the mail box. Holy Grail territory. Thanks both of ya, good fortune and blessings to ya.

Sweet onew Ivoryman!!

Thanks Tim, thanks Q, thanks Glennbad, thanks Elephants, thanks Case.

A warny copperlock in ivory, that is gorgeous!

I agree with reddirtknives. If you are buying though you must keep in mind that either you or your family is going to be selling at some point down the road. Coming from the "old school" point of view your loom fixer is bone and not red bone. If for no other reason than the $$ factor you must hold this view. If you buy at redbone prices then sell at bone prices you are going to lose money. Take a fool's advice. Call it what you want to, true redbone brings the best money. That is strawberry or Cherry red from bolster to bolster with matching front and back handles. It is what it is.
