Every time I see one of those Lionsteel knives I am impressed. Certainly looks quality and built solid. Good pick ups.

Thank goodness there is nothing you got in that I think I need Scott.

Quote E. "Looks like pivot pins of the British Army knives"
Yes, same type of pin. Thank you.

Thanks Justin! I've been watching that one for a while. I finally got it whittled down to my price range.

Doglegg I can't get enough of those tribal locks. To me that's one of Cases best totes by far.

Jerryd graciously sent me a little Camillus Rimfire Classic LR5 to complete my set. Great little knife from a great guy. Thanks Jerry.

I've got a knife customized by David Thomas. I did not know he had passed away. He was a very nice gentleman that I talked to several times at various knife shows. He was very talented.

I got these two Camillus recently. To be honest, I'm not sure why I bought them - other than they were really cheap. Neither had ANY snap when they arrived. I worked-in a little oil and they are both much better. The tipped blades on the #16 are a shame. The smaller #24 was advertised as a "pearl handled knife" (I knew it wasn't), and since I didn't have a #24 it fills that gap in the pile.

All from the car boot sale today

'Z' do people really sell that stuff out of the trunk (boot) of their car or is that just a name y'all made up for what we call a garage sale or yard sale?

it's actually called a car boot sale Jerry you basically park your cars next to each h other in a car park or field and set up a table (wallpapering table) and put everything on it and under it the one I went to today is massive and takes well over a hour to walk around it well worth it

Thanks for 'splainin' that to me Lucy. I've wondered about it for some time.

They would never allow something like that around here. The city/county would come down on you like a ton of bricks. There's far too much money to be made by selling people the space to set-up. The local community college hires a management company to run the flea market, and the management company charges for each stall space. The community college takes a cut from the management company. It's also why the local flea markets are completely worthless - it is the same vendors selling the same worthless junk every week.

At car boot sales you still have to pay for a pitch as not free there a big thing in the UK and have been for years,we sometimes we sell stuff as well
