Wow Phil! I missed that one somehow. It a looker for sure. Beautiful!

This knife came to me today.

I'm very happy and grateful to buy these special knives from those who take the chance.

Every single thing about that maher & grosh is superb. I love the packaging. "American and best"- dang right

BEAUTIFUL Joe

100 yrs from now someone will think they scored the real deal M & G......

Very nice Joe.

That right there is class with a capital "Q".

Very nice Scott and Joe.___Dave

Very, and I mean very, slick.

Been busy working on rebuilding the engine in a hotrod of mine, so my knife acquisitions had to be curtailed a bit and mad money redirected into parts and tooling. But I managed to squeeze in a couple or four beauties. A 8801 Heritage, a Schrade/USA 8OT, 127UH, and what is supposed to be a 8OTB w/ bone scales. It's a whole lot alike the 8801, but has a 8OT blade, no shield, and the scales more rounded off.

Fine lookin' bunch of Schrares!

Forgot to add this goodie to my group above. It's out of my target group of OTs and UHs. Didn't have a TL-29 style frame yet and been eyeballing some of the Schrade 204s that have been popping up on feebay. Noticed a lot of em are stamped SCC and I like to collect any of the Schrades with the Camillus mark. Picked this one up for cheap, and was expecting to see the SCC stamp. Got it in to find it's marked as a Camillus 27. Not disappointed mind you, just unexpected. I know Camillus made a lot of Schrade knives, but was it common for Schrade to just rebox a Camillus knife?

Picked up an old cast off from a fellow AAPK brother. Thanks Monk, great looking beastly snapper drop point.

Here's a nice dressy Robeson. 3 1/8"

Wow, Joe... You think that's real tortoise between the MOP slabs?

I don't collect Buck Knives, I've only got one other, but this one caught my eye. Now, I do have to admit to a fondness for MOP.
Thanks Mr. Mailman

Wow Joe, that robeson is super nice.

Cool knives, dweb.

Thanks, Tony and Paul.

I think that could be celluloid between the pearl.

The latest additions to my collection.
The gunstock is much bigger than I expected, even bigger than the Schrade Bigtimer. I love it!
The little Gerber is shaving sharp. The case 54 is just for size comparison.

Fresh out of the box. Case 6347 Pocket Worn Old Red Bone. Yes, three back springs. I am quite pleased.

Nice, I have that set except for 3. The Razor Barlow is impossible.
I never noticed the 6347 had 3 back springs.

Kerry, Steve and I have been discussing the back springs on the 6347s. I've got a few from back in the 70s that only have two back springs. I recently picked up a more modern amber bone 47 and discovered it had the three springs instead of the two I was expecting. Does anyone know when Case went from two to three springs on these 47 stockman knives ?

My oldest 6347 is from 1982, it has two springs. The rest of my 6347's are newer and have three springs. I don't know when they changed.

Ken, That big stag gunstock is nice. Love the stag.
