Thanks a lot GSPTD, appreciate the notice, and again thanks 3FMac if you're reading this. Love the knives you sold me. Thanks again all.

Here's a Camillus double locking knife that I've had since 1991.
A nice bit of kit.

That's a kit knife you assembled, Joe?
Nice work!

I have not seen that before, that's a great Camillus!!!

No Marco, I'm just saying it is a great accessory to have in your "kit". It has a belt sheath.
It is from Camillus's Yellow Jacket line. They came in two offerings. Delrin covers in Stag and yellow.

Thank you GSPTOPDOG, it is a handful and has great lock up. I have enjoyed this knife since1991.

Well, while I'm here I might as well show off another locking knife.

This is a Schrade 510 T. A fine companion. EDIT: It's a 510 not 501.

Actually, it is neither .....
51 OT > > > as in 51 Old Timer
Also called 'Big Timer'. I have never seen one in that handle material ....

Thought about keeping this Weidmannsheil but finally decided to list it on EBay. I was really attracted to the handle.

Thank you, Chris, you are correct. I didn't connect with that and I know better.

These covers are Canvas Micarta thanks to Muskrat Man.

I agree wholeheartedly! Getting a complete set of Yello-Jaket models is something I'd like to do, but that will take a lot of time and money. You were very wise to have bought that one brand-new.

Got it, Joe!
Thx!
It's a teriffic knife!

Wow, another knife I really like, Joe!
We seem to have similar tastes in our knife patterns cuz many of the examples you post I would purchase too.
I've never seen a Schrade like this one, and man, I'm impressed!

I certainly understand your reluctance to part with that little beauty, Tim!
What's the name of your ebay store?

Thanks for the compliment, my friend! Don’t have a store - no desire to be a dealer - too old! . Just like to move a few things out once in awhile - when I can bear to part with them - to make room for some new things. I use the same “handle” on EBay as I do here - tvic.

Thanks Tim.
I didn't know you can sell the occasional item on ebay without opening a store.
Good to know!

It is a great knife, Marco. The 51 OT by Schrade. I would think anyone who held it would be very impressed. I was.
Locks very securely!

It sure looks like a solid little knife, Joe.
Great knife, indeed!

One would have a bit of chasing to do to for all the Yellow Jackets. It would be a nice collection though.

When I bought this it just seemed like the right thing to do. It is a real piece of work and it's one of my favorite knives.

Thank you, Dan.

Whoops!
It sure doesn't look that big in the picture.
Since I'm a lover of big knives the size is ideal for me, just makes the knife that much sweeter!

Well, eh-hem, while I'm here I might as well show off another knife.

This is a large 5" Remington.
The assist open is a real plus although I don't use it very well. But I can use it.
Recovered in paper Micarta by Muskrat Man.

That's a sweetie, really smooth looking piece, and great covers.

What did you dislike about it if you are listing it? Looks like a nice piece.
