Great info Charlie. Thanks for sharing

Nice knives on the way, fellas! Here's some beauties I have coming, and I didn't have to pay a premium for them either

Not in the mail just yet but my standby was confirmed and I pulled the trigger tonight!

Got another Empire on the way, courtesy of our own Olderdogs1. Thanks Tom!

Back-to-back days of #15 goodness. Pulled the trigger on my one-per-person reservation for a TC Barlow.

Very nice Tony I never got an email so I guess my reserve didn't stick, one of these days I'll get a GEC barlow.

Sorry to hear it, Paul. There sure is an awful lot of pomp and circumstance behind the very act of even getting one. My sawcut green #77 Barlow is absolutely perfect, though, as is the #15 Beer Scout I just got today. Confidence is high. I"m just glad everything lined up and allowed me to get some of the variants I couldn't last time.

If GEC is smart, they'll be doing more TC runs in everything else except clip and they will write their own ticket for 'em if they wish. These things are still seeing 200% markup on the bay, even for the little'uns. Charlie really did tap into something.

Got one! And for a really good price. Thanks for the heads-up goes to Jerry D.
In the process of checking out, I decided on a little early Christmas gift to myself...

Glad to see you got it Tony.

Tony I almost bid on that schrade, it's good to see you got it! I bid a little higher than I would have preferred, but you don't see keen kutters like this every day.

Thanks KS and appreciate you not driving up the price! Looking forward to adding it to the stable.

The bone on that KK is outstanding, it could almost pass for old stag unless you really inspect it. The sting of a high bid will pass once you have it in hand, I imagine.

Somebody throw me in jail cause this was a steal Schrade cut co 708

For what I once tried to pay for a blue bone variant of this knife, I could have gotten another 2 blades. Finally got my Swiss Army Nut.

That is really cool!

I'll be watching the mailbox for this little feller........ Canal Street Wildcat Driller in Oiled Rams Horn.

Phil that is really something. By that I mean something great.

Beautiful Phil....I had been watching that one but just didn't bid on it...glad I didn't now that I know where it is landing!!!!!

Good on you!

Tom

Bought another Case 6318, should start heading my way from Virginia today. Very nice CS Phil, your CS collection should be nearing completion! OH

Thanks guys. I'm quite pleased to add this one to the pile. I honestly didn't know Canal Street made this pattern with ram's horn handles till I saw this one for sale.

Col, my collection might be approaching 'respectability' but it is far from complete. I recently picked up one of those 6318 Case knives myself. The one I got was in amber bone.

Has the muskrat main and appears to be in excellent condition. I have one. I've never carried it but it seems to be a fine knife.

This is my first colonial, I have a good feeling about it at 10 bucks.

on its way

Buck 110 Custom; nickel silver bolsters, D-2 blade, and distressed brown leather sheath. First knife ordered in 2017 (from SK Blades). OH
