Q and K'roo, made for each other. Sweet ivory.
Benton 629, always fun to fulfill childhood fantasies.
This last 6 weeks have been a bit frustrating on the bay. I have purchased 3 different 72 clones and each time the order has been canceled. Twice because the seller moved and couldn't find the product the other time the seller had gotten busy with personal crisis and didn't have time to ship. I have assured each seller that I am a patient man and really want the knife. This week the tide turned, one of the movers found the box with the knife and the other seller got things straightened out and both completed the sale for a 2nd time. So these two arrived today. The first a Whitetail Cutlery out of Japan in decent shape and the 2nd a York Cutlery from Solingen. The York is a wonderful knife. Extremely well made and absolutely wonderful handles. It looks to be polished to remove some corrosion but I am still very pleased. This is the only York that I have seen come up for sale since I got on the 72 quest. It was very over priced but with a make an offer which I did, still a little high and he accepted. Very excited about the York and pleased with both knives. More pics in the 72 clones thread. Thanks for looking. Now if that last seller can find the box.......DSCN6669.JPGDSCN6675.JPG

These came in the mail yesterday. I've got on a kick about knives from a variety of countries--these are one from Spain and one from Italy. The Andujar lockback just caught my eye; I love the handle. It's got a nice heft to it, too.
The Wenoka from Italy was unused--but totally dull. Looked like about a 45 degree bevel on the edge. I got to practice my sharpening skills on it, and wow! I'm pretty pleased with how that went. Now I guess I'll see how long it holds an edge.
So far I have knives from the US, Germany, Spain, Italy, Pakistan, Japan, China (way too easy) and I have one on the way from Israel. I know there are quite a few other countries that produce or have produced knives--I'm just keeping my eyes open for something I like.
I like em both but that Wenoka is sweet! Nice find!
Here's a thought for you. Ever considered Imperial knives? They have produced their brand of knives in the US, Ireland, Mexico & China. I have a couple made in the US & Ireland but don't have any of those made in Mexico or China yet. Just a thought.

This pair of bargain Buck 722's showed up yesterday. Fast ship by the seller was thwarted by the USPS.
Knives first-----

And then the odyssey of them getting here. I don't know why they had to take a trip through S. Wisconsin when it's a straight shot due West from Chicago to here. I can drive it in under two hours.

And lastly, a Camillus 1047, Boy Scouts Of America White Handle Swell Center Whittler. It will need a little clean up, but blades are tight, and have great snap.

And I'll be looking for those Wenoka's.

Papa Bones, that second knife is the spitting' image of the one I carried when I was in Boy Scouts! I have no idea what happened to it, but seeing that photo does bring back memories!
That's one of the fun parts of collecting. It kind of helps keep our memories of a point in time alive when we've owned one in the past.

Appreciate it Tom. Nope, still looking around on the Purina. Keeping up with some on ebay, will have to see how they do.

If I got a package like that, I'd have to leave home! I have enough trouble explaining some of the "bottom of the bay" invoices.
Congratulations, a great looking pile of knives, for sure!

I got this one today that I added to my store, but I am so taken by this green bone on this Henckels that I am thinking about keeping it back for my collection. I love green handles, i love herringbone jigging, I love whittlers and these Henckels done by Boker are of such great quality. I really think that the quality on these Henckels knives is better than what Boker uses on their own knives. Just look at this knife, it’s gorgeous.
Ya did good! 
No worries though, your still my friend even if you haven't found one yet. 
WOW
