Thanks Phillip!

Very nice Tony! The blade is in great shape.

I thought it was a great score at $20. Especially since it is my birth year.

Today I received the little 225L lockback (on the bottom), shown here with the 059L (on the top) that I received a while ago. I have never figured out why Case has so many similar stainless lockbacks. You can see the differences and similarities here - they are the same size, but have different blade shapes, and the 059L has a lanyard hole.

New Moose!

That's a beauty! Rough black is very cool - it looks tough just sitting there!

I like it Zach

Thanks guys, an unused xx era like this eluded me for some time, glad to have it

I did abandon my rough black collection, but still after certain patterns, sold/traded most of my smaller patterns in black, still hAve maybe 10-15 left.

I have a mint 6488LP rough black coming in

Here are the two that came in today's mail. A '40-64 era 6220 CV peanut in red bone and a brown delrin 61048 slim trapper from 1998.

a couple new CASE knives....i putting together a new table top display this weekend!!got some goods close-up pics of the push knives to upload shortly!!

Mike, are you a professional photographer, by any chance? All your knife photos look like pin-ups out of a knife magazine. Very nice.
Makes my pics look like they were shot by a five yr old on a disposable camera.
But, what can I say...I'm a knife collector, not a photographer (although apparently some people are both).
Here are my most recent acquisitions...07s, of course.

I'm guessing Mike has a some sort of Photo lightbox. That can be an indispensable tool for online sellers.

I need to get one of those. Been thinking about it for years. Thanks for the link.

Hey guys.. I don’t know where we got Mike from lol, my name is Zach

Also, light box? Yes.. nothing fancy, 10$ on eBay or a box and some do it yourself time

Ya don’t need a fancy camera, just patience


I have loaded maybe 10 more photos in my photo shoot post in the last 2 days, feel free to take a
Look

I'm guessing, but I believe there were some crossed wires with your AAPK member id "XxTEstedxX" and another AAPK member id of "XX Case XX" whose name is Mike from Southern California.

No worries, just giving y’all a hard time.

I actually am getting a larger white box soon, I’ll see if I can do some larger knives.

lol - I only said Mike because Q called you Mike! I even looked up at your post and thought to myself, "hmm, it doesn't say Mike - oh well, I guess Q knows..."

Oh well, Jerry has been calling me Terry since I joined, but I'm not Terry - I just have a quote from the author Terry Pratchett in my signature. I've just been going with it... (I luv ya Jerry!)

Yup, RalphAlsip (whose real name isn't Ralph, BTW) nailed it...I crossed my XxxX wires and mixed up the names. Sorry 'bout that, Zach. I'm probably safer sticking to user names than trying to remember everyone's real names.

The avatars are helpful mnemonic devices:
Zach is the Great White Shark
Mike is Lynyrd Skynyrd

I have a spreadsheet, started by and shared by Dale (orvet), that I try to keep updated as I see little tidbits about a member (first name, location, military service, birthday, etc, etc). There are over 400 members in it but as TwoFlowersLuggage has been so kind to point out, it's not 100% accurate. I prefer first names or nicknames. Using screen names just leaves me cold and for me, using something like TwoFlowersLuggage in a personal kind of way is clumsy. No offense intended to anyone's chosen screen name.
