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

Got one now and I can’t wait to clean her up.

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.

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.

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.
