Was your friend's friend's dad aware that his collection was being sold?

Congrats on a major score of a lifetime.

I would imagine a haul like that might satisfy the collecting urge for a minute.

I agree, As I remarked earlier it is made with exceptional precision. Even a much better runup than the average production. Mark has a very refined "eye" for quality.

Garry, Glad you like that Henckels and agree about the quality. What a beautiful knife. I could look at that green bone all day long.
You have great taste in knives.

His father was recently deceased and they were going through his estate. He had some nice ones. I'll sell enough to pay for what I keep I hope

Oh my I think I'm going to hyperventilate! That has to be one of the best finds of the year
so far. A big CONGRATS!!!

Here is what the Ponder Post Rider brought me today.
Case XX SS USA 9 Dot 1981 White Texas Lockhorn Double Lockback Knife & Pouch.
My youngest son was born in 1981 and has has been looking for several years for
this knife. So when I saw that one of our AAPK members had it, I just couldn't
pass it up. I told my son it's his, but it's going to sit in my collection for just a
little while.

Great pick up David.

That's living the dream, score a bunch of beauties, sell off enough to cover the cost, keep the cream of the crop. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssss! That's the way ya do it. Congrats.

Congrats David! I have never seen one of these before. That's a very cool knife!

I haven’t had my computer for a few days because… Well… I managed to spill a little bit of margarita on the keyboard. Anyway, I’m posting this from my phone, so I hope it works.

I’ve had several new knives come in the last couple of days. This pretty Colonial showed up Monday, as did the Bulldog (from a fellow AAPK member).


I fell for the tortoise shell look on this Böker knife.

And the last two are something completely different, for my “knives from different countries“ collection. The black and gold enameled knife from Sweden is pretty cool, but it’s this 10 inch monster from Israel that is most interesting to me. Can it be anything other than decorative?

A very interesting collection Beresman. Liking the coloring of your Bulldog.

Love that Boker and the Israel knife. Maybe they are like Pakistanis, like to carry big. Nice Bulldog too.

Nice! I'm really glad you liked the bulldog! Don't forget to provide me with some much needed feedback, I appreciate you, take care Brent.

Grabbed this Rough Ryder Denim Micarta Work Knife at SMKW for $20.98. I'm still not a fan of RR in general; but, I really can't find anything about this knife that I don't like.

I knew it would grab you.

In an effort to brighten my collection I bought this Henkles Stockman: 4 blade, yellow bone. In addition to the standard clip point blade it also has a California clip blade. The blades are perfectly centered, also showing tight runups. No half stops. I believe Boker is the manufacturer.

Bright, yes very bright and unusual blade arrangement QS .
David a very comfortable threesome.

Some very nice pick ups on here today!
That yellow bone is an attention getter.... I don't have a yellow in my collection yet, maybe I should do something about that

Here's what I got in the mail today, I've got to say, don't know anything about this Fox brand but it's a really nice solid knife!...very impressed.
The old Schrade Walden, and Western 442 for the most part fairly clean, just did some oiling to get them going

B&S drenched in oil, pooling in the wax paper, never seen that before in a GEC product. Guess they don't want them to dry out. Otherwise flawless and as it should be. If anyone wants to trade for a 35 Maher and Grosh Trapper that just came out I'm your huckleberry. PM me and lets dance.

Fox knives are made in Italy and they make pretty nice knives. I just traded the one I had with Ryan but I really liked it!

I like your Schrade & Western also. Nice finds!
