I think they are about to require us to start wearing one around here IF we show up in public.
My wife is making some of those themed type masks....
I recon I had better put in my order.

That's why I had my cousin make these for me Mike. In the near future, I just have the feeling they will not let you into a grocery store without one.

Here is an impulse ebay purchase that caught my interest a few weeks ago. I like the stamp, scales and the threaded (?) bolsters. The blade has Made in Germany on the back and a spouting whale over waves and Solingen on the front. It should clean up to be a looker.
I would appreciate any input as to age etc. I think it is a Richartz....
Thanks in advance.
Stay safe, stay healthy and be kind,

I can't say much about age and such BUT, I can say that is a nice looking knife.
AND, like you, I think it will be a real looker after a goon clean-up. Looks like jigged bone on the handles...... SWEET!

It's a Richartz. See here, scroll down some to the 4 pictures.

No idea how old it is though. But the whales on new knives looks different. Good looking knife my friend! Nice find! Congrats!

Are the handles bone? Thanks!

And this reads "Whales made in Germany". Just found it on the bay.

Good looking knives gentlemen.

Today, my trip to the post office produced these two knives. Two more deer for the zoo. Another Imperial "Deer Head", camping/scouting style pocket knife and an unbranded, 2 blade, "Deer Head" pocket knife. It's "probably" an Ulster 55D. The Imperial needed cleaning, the other didn't. I took some pictures and here they are.

Re: Richartz impulse buy...
Thanks for the positive comments. Yes, the scales are jigged bone of some sort. I think I’ll try to sand 50% of the scratches out of the blade. It looks as if it will sharpen up nicely.
Wishing I could be out and about looking for bargains...

This Case Mini-Trapper showed up in today's mail. I'm not normally a Fan Boy of green but I likes this one (and besides it's a Wharncliffe).
BTW, it's called "Apple Green".

The other one that was in the post was a mistake. I already had/have one. It's a Pacific Rim Marbles Ruler Knife.

Been waiting for these to get back. Buck 112 (5160) and 301 Stockman. New, but sent in for warranty/spa to get perfected. A month later and here we are! The 301 could be better (action-wise, it looks great) but the 112 is perfect. It deserved some nicer duds, so I got the distressed sheath for it.

Looks more "cucumber" green to me, or could be just the lighting/photo. Otherwise nice knife Jerry

Thanks fellas. Youse guys are the best.

I have been wanting to try out a mora for a long time. I bought these as a pair for about $16, figured why the heck not for a backup. I like these knives. They seem to be of high quality throughout, practically designed (including the sheath), and are made in Sweden with good ole carbon steel all for a very high value price.

Hard to beat a Mora for the money.
