That is fantastic Greg!!!

The mind spins at what else Jerry has.

Thanks for all the compliments guys! Jerry has been very gracious helping me build my collection and we all know from his posts the quality of his knives.

Great knife Greg. Congratulations my friend. Jerry

And there is another one of my Jerry benefactors! Thanks for those kind words my friend!

Greg and Keith, thank you for helping thin my herd and for the kind words - you're making me blush My purchase to sell ratio is probably 25:1 (I buy 25 knives for every 1 that I sell).

Several AAPK members have assisted me in adding to my collection (SteveP, LarryW, TomM, JerryA, Wayne).

Here are pictures of one of Larry's old hand me down knives that made it's way to me. I searched for this specific Case Tested XX 6294J LP for a few years before I found out where it was. Sometimes persistence pays off (and costs a lot - lol).

Here is the AAPK link where it first surfaced in my quest.

Jerry that 25 to 1 ratio is probably pretty standard for a collector But the thing that makes AAPK such an enjoyable experience is the willingness of the more seasoned guys to help out the newer collectors and the guys you mentioned are top notch as well. I just hope I am able to do the same. That 6294J really raised some eyebrows when it popped up on that thread.

Jerry H. I'm glad you got it

Larry

Ps I found another one, but not with the history as yours

Jerry that is a fine knife. Larry may have withdrawal from letting one go.

Great 94J examples Jerry and Larry. The one I have has no shield and is beat up from the feet up. You both have great examples there. Congrats.

Jerry

Rare knives gentlemen, thanks for posting them

Tom

Recent Case, recent snow.

I just had a hankerin for this one so I got it.

Here are some more I just picked up. A tested era 63045,the stamp is a bit worn but everything else looks good on it. A brand new 3 blade trapper 6354.
And one I have already posted but only just now got my hands on, a tested 6393.

Nice pick ups Greg and Ivoryman

Larry, your 6294J is very nice and looks like it has never seen pocket time. The jigging is really crisp.

Here is a Case Tested XX 5294J LP. It's not a new pick up for me, but I had it out of storage today and made updated pictures. Since we were talking about 94J's last week in this thread I thought I would post it here.

Thanks for looking.

That is one,fine,older Case knife,Ralph.Very nice stag and beautiful condition. Bill

Those -94 J's are one sweet pattern!

Anyone have a new Tribal Lock? I think it's 4 1/4".

redrider and Bill, thank you for the kind words.

My understanding is that the Tribal lock is scheduled for release in the Summer of 2017. I have a few Copperlocks and look forward to adding one of the Tribal locks.

I want one or two of the tribal locks too, they are really cool!!! I called shepherd hills yesterday to order one and they said expected delivery is august. They are taking advanced orders on them now, but they do not have all the handle types showing in the computer at this time. they only are showing amber bone and 6.5 bone stag now. I'm holding out for the ebony!!

Mike.

I like the looks of the tribal locks. I've heard they're going to release it in CV this summer. If so then it'll be a real contender for my dinero.

Found this one yesterday, Case Canoe, Item # 06595 made in 2010 and now discontinued.

Some new to me,

2007 National Knife Museum, J.P. Huddleston Mammoth Ivory Peanut 1220ss Ser.# 082

2008 M.O.P. Dam. Slimlock 8173L Dam.

2008 Red Stag Hunter R565-5ss

Mike.

I especially like the coloring on those mammoth scales.

Excellent Mike!!!

Found this nice copperlock today, Love them Copperlocks. Item #13631

Got these from Big Monk and I am really pleased. CASE M279SC SS early 1970's.
