Kerry, what a haul! Well done. Can you tell me about that little smooth black XX-era barehead jack?

Thanks. Its a 2229 1/2 slick black tadpole. Bought it at a flea market I hit weekly.

Very nice group, Kerry.

gwelker62: I have a few scrimshaw but I have not seen yours before. It appears to be part of a series. You may find scrimshaw knives a bit addictive.

Fresh offf the truck

Great knives Scott. That 6-OT rocks.

Nice trio, Scott.

This trapper arrived a few days ago.

That's one heck of a trapper...tell me about it

I've been seeing some of his work pop up lately. Nice stuff!

Thanks, guys. The blade is CPM 154 and just shy of 3". The handles are bone linen micarta and the bolsters are turquoise Westinghouse G-10.

I had sent Ian van Reenen the Westinghouse material to have this bent gunstock made. After receiving the gunstock, he called me saying there was enough material left for bolsters. I ordered the trapper since this particular Westinghouse material is pretty hard to find nowadays.

You'll regularly see Ian's knives for sale on BladeForums. He makes great EDCs for a good price.

This big honking Panama Trapper came just before I left today.

That's a beauty Greg. Just love the skinner blade paired with the clip. Their saddlehorn model has the same blades just smaller to fit the smaller frame.

I'm really liking that pattern Steve. It's right in my wheelhouse!

That mid sized jack display case must be getting a little crowded by now! Time for a new one?

Well Golly! When you are expecting one knife and 4 tumble out of the package......
All the way from the USA compliments of a very generous tongueriver - Thanks Cal

Not many could, Jerry. A wharncliffe trapper is a thing of beauty.

Very nice brumby, that Cal is a heck of a guy.


A muskrat from Scott (thanks!), 8ot and an unused/unsharpened peachseed 895 came in today. Great success

Great looking knives there, Derek.

I thought I'd put this Terrier in here to show it off.
4 1/16" of solid knife.

Now with that terrier you're going to have Charlie on your tail.

Thanks, Paul. This Terrier is too used up for Charlies beautiful collection of knives.
