Now that is a beauty Chris
I just have to turn your world a little upside down today, in that kind of a mood
I am getting 15 of these beauties next month from Bestgear (Tom Cosgrove, Cosgrove Cutlery on AAPK store). 10 brown bone 2 blade jacks with original bails, 2 synthetic bone 2 blade jacks with bails, 1 brown bone stockman, and 1 wood, 1 bone campking style.
I hope i didn't end your world to badly...



Super happy for you! I loooooove Imperials!
Again beautiful knife Chris
Good stuff.

A Queen City delerin heavy duty 2 blade jack. She stole my heart for $55. Aged beautifully. How can you not love the way she is? They were called rough delerin scales. Now she is perfect pocketworn! Almost new blades. Warnie secondary!
Sweet!

Good score on the Queen City!

That's a dandy Chris!

Probably worth what they were asking, but the listing said OBO so I gave it a shot and made a lowball offer. Was kinda surprised the seller accepted. If it’s actually been used I’ll continue to use it.

Nice looking knife Ken! Whats the blade length on that one?

Don't know for sure - it hasn't arrived yet. I'll let you know and post some more pictures of it when I get it. Probably in the fixed blade or custom forum. I bought it because I knew the maker - never seen one of his knives that wasn't excellent.

Went all the way through May without buying a knife (pats self on the back) but when I saw this blue Alox Pioneer for what I thought was a very decent price, I lost control and dropped the hammer. Now if I could just find a red for that price.

Especially if it's the old ones with the white cross instead of the shield. I gave almost $30 for a rather beat up one as to avoid carrying a near-mint example that was my great-Granddads. SAKS are supposed to be red; then why is that color so uncommon in Alox? For several years ('60s-90s) it was the standard Alox color before Vic changed to sliver. I only have a small handful, and two of those are 58mm advertising knives.

Found a $12 used lot on eBay that had a Bear and Sons made Craftsman 45201 multitool in it. The prices on these have skyrocketed; used to be $15 or so was the norm, now it's $20-30. I like the Bear Jaws design (in fact, the patent Victorinox used to make the SwissTool by buying Bear and Sons) ;but the quality isn't there. It is my understanding that the Craftsman ones are better built, so I bought the lot as soon as I saw it. Only thing annoying me is that the lot itself was $5, the (flat rate box) shipping was $7. I don't really want the cheapo MTs (and quite frankly, I'm getting annoyed at how they're piling up; since they're more or less a given in used lots); I know one's going to the tackle box.

Leatherman had a free shipping promotion, this Crater model was on sale for about 30 bucks, and I already had a $15 gift card, so I finally got the Crater C33T; for just under $16.

It just caught my eye. I'll decide from this one if I get another.

I've looked at those myself Steve. I like the blade combo, the fact that its an equal end and the bone looks good too. How's the build and blade action in your opinion? Tell me it has no half stops and I'll probably grab one.

I'll let ya know! Tracking says I should get it this Friday.

Just realized you posted this in the 'in the mail' thread which would mean you don't yet have it because it is 'in the mail'.
I'm a little slow at times, appreciate and look forward to your feedback.

It's all good, Greg

It's a sickness, I tell ya but I just couldn't pass this one up. Should be here Monday or Tuesday.

I know bro...
I feel for ya!

I literally just got this for "Best Offer." Vintage Geo Schrade Sportsman Fishing Knife. The pictures are the sellers. I will repost new photos when I receive the knife. This is my first one of these that is this style. It will fit in nicely with my other Geo Schrade and variations fishing/hunting knives (last photo). It also fits in to my collecting all metal knives.

First I've even seen with two blades! Most just had the scaler integrated into the spine of the blade.

I need to stock up on the old fisherman's toothpick knives before I go fishing. I only have a really beat up Case I had to take the celluloid scales off.

I have 2 lambsfoot knives on the way, one here on Thursday hopefully. A 4 inch with oak wood scales and a 31/2 inch with dark wood scales.

Received the knife. New pictures posted in "Mail Call."

I expect tomorrow to receive the first Bulgarian book on traditional Bulgarian knife. Shepherd's knife of the Bulgarian during the revival (18-19 century)

Cool book Eustace, bet you learn some things you didn't already know. And see some knives you have never seen before. How's that fixed blade you are working on coming along?

Well.... I guess I should have expected this.... I started the "folding hunters" thread. Everybody was posting up some NICE folding hunters....... so I started snooping to see what else is out there....

I don't know which of my hunters is the KING.... but now a Queen is on the way.

Just ordered this from Steve Pfeiffer's store.
6 Dot, 1974 6292 Texas Jack in Chestnut bone with CV blades.
