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

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!

Thanks Tom
Hadn't seen one before, but the wood and etching caught my eye.
Do you have a picture of the one you traded... was it similar to this one?

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.

I enjoyed seeing this, thanks for sharing!

Here are some pictures Ryan (Stanwade) posted of it. It has Olive wood handles. A beautiful knife!

Wow! That Olive wood is gorgeous! Totally missed this post, thanks for sharing it... Ryan is a lucky guy

By chance would you know what wood mine might be??

Today's mail was supposed to be good but...

This seller tried to perpetrate a fraud at my expense.

I bid and won this knife> https://www.ebay.com/itm/184436276959

...but was sent this imitation instead, complete with fake serialized engravings. Notice the font of 002, totally different from any engraved bulldog that I have in my collection and MOP? None of my mother of pearls have it.

This CJRB Talla showed up in today's mail. It's well made but I think it's a little overpriced for something out of China but I bought it anyway. I'm enamored with the blade profile.

Heck yea, looks sharp too!

Sweet pick ups everyone! Today an Ulster and Remington showed up... the Ulster will make a good EDC and the little Remington will go nicely with the other ones in my collection...

LA, I certainly hope you can get your money back on that nasty BD.

That is definitely not the knife you bought, I hope the seller does right by you.

Thanks guys.
Supposedly he "pulled the wrong knife" and is going to ship out the correct one asap. I'll keep you guys posted.

Sorry, but no I don't. If you could find the same model online you'd be abel to find out but that's like searching for a needle in a hay stack. I can add that Fox has been around for a while. The one I had, I bought over 20 years ago when I graduated from Carpenter school. Only Problem with it was that it was a one handed opener that I couldn't carry over here so I traded it with Ryan for an I*XL Barlow with Stag scales. It's been in my pocket the last 4 weeks.

Most of the knives they make are single bladed. Lock Backs, Fixed blades, Tacticals ect.

Off to work. "Time to make the Doughnuts."

It's here! The Ponder Post Rider was good to me again today.
The Rough Ryder Denim Micarta Work Knife.

This High Carbon Steel Trapper arrived today. Can still see a little of the Craftsman Sta-Sharp etch.

Some I received lasterday, and some several weeks ago. Just got around to posing them.

And...this one. I've seen a few of these laying around in here lately. Sorry...bad lighting, but we know what it looks like.

Wow KLJ those are amazing. Love the S&M’s
Here is what I have received over the last few days. All GEC 35’s. 4 Maher and Grosh and 2 Beer and Sausage knives. I think these Maher and Grosh 35’s are some of the best GEC has made, they are that good.

What a line up. Barely managed to get one. Scoring all six is down right incredible. Congrats. Every one is a show piece. .

Nice group of knives, Mark. Never heard of those brands, but they're attractive. I like the B & S knives...use them to eat with, then comb out the beard or hair.

Lots of wonderful mail receipts being shown. I really enjoy seeing what treasures and keepsakes others have invested in.
