Thanks Larry. I seen your trappers on Facebook. Still haven't found my Grail trapper. Well, I do have a xx red stag it's lonely. I'd like to find a xx greenbone

Excellent trio!

Good scores with the three collectible Case XX knives!

Pardon my French, but hot damn those are nice!

Tested 6247J LP

And I love it.

This will probably be my last nice one for awhile, had to sell most of what I had to down size to a select few.

Well you have certainly acquired some nice ones XxTestedxX. Quality over quantity is a good strategy. It's much easier to take care of them. I am trying to move in that direction as well.

Thanks for the kind words/encouragement. My knife momentum is slowing down. I usually go in spurts. I do have few coming in, nothing incredibly special.

Some nice "rough" peanuts.

- greenbone xx 6220, it has the circle C shield. thought it would be neat to have.
- Slick black peanut, also with the circle C shield.
- Pearl xx peanut, a bit of cracking on the handles. Did they make an xx era pearl peanut? I couldn't find one in my book the other night.

I got those 3 on a trade, not overly invested.

also a Case Bose collab muskrat/Hawbaker, Traded for this one as well. (I love to trade)
I have maybe 7-9 Bose collabs now, I'm very happy with the ones I have gotten, but I have heard a few members with no such good luck.

Don't have any my books but I don't believe I've ever seen or heard of a XX era pearl peanut. I'd be willing to bet it is actually a 3220 that had yellow comp handles that gassed out. Some of the XX yellow comp was pretty volatile. In fact I had a yellow comp peanut that was mint so I pried the handles off before it destroyed the knife. Still need to have handles put on it

Hey Jerry, I got a pretty good one Monday night. Probably one of your favorites. I'll post it Sunday or Monday when I get home.

Zach, your Tested XX 6247J green bone is really sweet! The J blade patterns are hard to come by.

Thanks for the words about the J model

Here is a Tony Bose case collab, muskrat

Get in that knife yet Greg? I assume it is a swing guard?

Zach, get that pearl nut in yet? Wondering if my thought on what it was born as is correct.

Jerry

I got the peanuts in, catch and release, I put the 3 on eBay with no reserve, it was tested era, not xx.

Jerry looks like my new swing gaurd is on a world tour through the postal ether. Bouncing between Atlanta and Cincinnati. Still haven't got it.

XXTested, the Bose is great, the greenbone stockman is great. Got the drool flowing free man, need to serve up a napkin with stuff like those.

I have a new 99 coming in tomorrow!

I promise I'm not a big spender, traded and sold about 50 knives to focus down to 10.

Can't wait to post it.

Investing for the future fella's

As always, thanks for the kind words!

Here is a not so new pic up, but I didn't get to post it.

6275SP XX 1940-64

6299 rough black! Stunner

Nice knives, Tested.

I like that 75sp I have one but she was well used and abused

Great knives all, love that rough black 99....I bet that thing is crazy stout!
