Very nice! Especially that shield!

Beautiful Case! I like it!

Thanks! I'm clueless on Case but this one made me bite like a German brown on a Pistol Pete.

I'm clueless on just about all knives! I just know what I like when I see it and if I can afford it, I grab it.

I'm liking the bone on that Case very much.

It's wood, not sure what species but it's definitely wood.

OOPS. Thought it was dyed bone.

I’ve had a few of those. The wood I believe is a laminate. I never could figure out what wood it was either. These have all been nail breakers, the pulls are impossibly hard, at least for me they were. I don’t find a knife like this to be very practical. It is a good looking knife in a collection though.

I don't imagine it being practical either .
At some point it'll be resold, I got a sharp beater to carry around.

I've got mail!
Always a pleasure LuvStag!

Kris, it’s great to see you back again, it’s been awhile since I have seen you post. That is a fantastic knife. Glad you got it.

Good evening everyone. Kept an eye on the USPS tracking on this Hen & Rooster the past few days. Got home tonight and it was in the mailbox. Unfortunately, it wasn’t in the original box. However, it’s in pretty good shape. I’m new to Hen & Rooster knives. The Solingen and Bertram stamps are actually stamped, not etched like the new run of knives seen on EBay. I’m assuming it’s made by Boker? If anyone knows, please post. Hope everyone had an excellent week.

Today's mail brought me a Robeson by Queen. It is a red jigged bone split spring Whittler. 31/2". On the shield is written Master Craft. This is an easy knife to like with its cheerful extra bright red scales. Walk and talk are good, F&F are very good.

That knife looks good!!!

Some nice looking knives showing up in people's boxes.

The mailman brought me a Bolus Clip Jack from Collector Knives today, made in Italy by Lionsteel. My first knife made in Italy, and first "modern" traditional knife. It is very high quality, micarta is nice to the eye and the feel. Just a classic swedged clip blade, perfectly centered, and with enough blade out to pinch or use the two-sided nail nick. Titanium liner, and a little different look and feel being a non hafted knive, but smooth as glass all over. Sharp out of the box, lighter in the hand than I expected. Very pleased with this CK Lionsteel collaboration!

Congrats Iowaboy, I only have one LionSteel and am totally impressed with it. That one is a beaut.

What a great looking knife. Glad you got that one.
I got this one in. Not something I would normally bid on but the shape, lines and appearance were all calling to me. The seller said that it was a knife assembled from Cattaraugus parts back in the 60’s or 70”s. Whoever put it together did a very good job. Good snap, no blade rub and the fit and finish is great. There are some issues, the black carbon spot on the main blade. The area around the pull on this main blade has some minor metal missing, probably from the cutting of the swedge. On the back there are some out of place grind marks on the backsprings. The finish on the blades has some lines left on them. Snap is good, good half stops and sharp enough to shave hair. I’m very pleased with it. Not sure what to do with it keep it, sell it or use it. Still trying to decide.
