All About Pocket Knives

Mark, the Seki Japan Coleman's are just splendid. It's so tempting to buy every one I see.

Good things come to those who wait. I wasn't sure I'd be keeping the 2019 BladeForums 86 but now I'm not sure I can let it go. Rich African Blackwood that is a deep rich brown mixed with black. The backspring is flush in all 3 positions. The pull is about a 5 and a little soft but I attribute that to being new. For its size it feels well balanced and I can almost feel the usefulness of the blade. And, I got TWO pins.

That’s a nice one.

I picked up this CASE TB sowbelly with G10 black and red weave scales in CV!

I’ve got to give it to Deadwood Knives. I ordered this on Christmas Eve, they shipped it out that day and I had it the day after Christmas. And that was with standard mail, free shipping. Outstanding!

Those G-10 scales are exceptionally good looking.

Thank you sir! Not my normal cup of tea, but I was drawn to them myself.

GEC 86 in stag arrived today.

Case Barlow yellow synthetic and in CV steel I’m a happy camper!

Not my cup of tea at all but I do have to admit, it's rather classy, Cuz. You have yourself a fairly fine piece of cutlery there.

I just pulled the trigger on an Orvet Custom fixed blade. This stag looks amazing to me, excellent restoration work, Dale! I couldn't pass it up. My second Orvet Custom but first fixed blade.

Dale's picture, not mine.

Nice! I have an Orvet custom Western B/T pretty darn similar to that one. He do excellent work!

My recent acquisitions: Metal, Bone & Plastic (FRN) in various shades of green.

Three winners, Q!

Thanks, Colonel, I agree!

The Queen City Mini-T and the Leek make me drool.

Here is what the Post Rider brought to Ponder Country today!! I believe this is the last of my Christmas presents.
As you can see each one comes in it's own display box.

Rough Rider display boxes are also very impressive.

Thanks Dan Now if I can just get them in the display cabinet before Cheryl notices there are 5 of them. She doesn't understand that 5 RR are nothing like buying 5 CASE or GEC knives.

David, show her the price of the 5RR's and she will assume that is the price of all knives.

Good idea, but she has been with me at antique shops when we travel.

Here's my latest batch fresh from the mailbox.

Miracle of miracles. It wasn't supposed to show up until Tuesday but it was in my mailbox today. The seller called the handles "Campfire Bone" (neat name) but the box says they're "Burnt Oatmeal". I have a Mini-T that was a SFO for Tractor Supply that has "Burnt Oatmeal" and I wasn't all that impressed with it. This one is better and apropos of nothing, I think it was a SFO for SMKW.

That's a nice bone handle regardless of whatever name it's given.

How do you feel about the width of the 6307 as compared to a 6207?

It's okay. I expected it to feel "fat" in my hand but it doesn't. I'm very pleased with the knife. Much more so than I thought I would be.

Three cool knives Ken!

Great looking handles & a wharncliffe! Very nice one Jerry!
