Thank you for confirming by beliefs Q, it's much appreciated. I too am a fan of Japanese Kershaw's, and your W/T has long since been discontinued so you should hang onto that one, as I'm sure it goes well beyond face value, and, it's a super cool little folder, facts I'm also sure you're already aware of!
You post some of the nicest knives Q, and this one is no exception. I think your knife looks teriffic as-is, but a re-handle of any material will also look good, specially with that sheepsfoot blade. Very cool knife, congrats on a great find!

I liberated a couple of Camillus HOKs from dad the last couple of days. One is an old granddaddy Barlow with some miles on it, but a lot of life left in it yet. The other is a bone handled lock back that screams left over parts knife, but whatever it is, it’s well done and will get some time on the farm!
Very nice!!Steamboat Willie wrote: ↑Tue Jun 08, 2021 3:19 am Buck variety pack arrived today. All unused, looking forward to helping them build a memory! The Decatur reminds me of a steak knife, think that’s what I’ll use it for.
Nice set indeed.Floyd.......I'm gonna start calling you "LF" for Lucky Floyd. Beautiful knife and awesome find.
That’s a nice variety pack right there!!!Steamboat Willie wrote: ↑Tue Jun 08, 2021 3:19 am Buck variety pack arrived today. All unused, looking forward to helping them build a memory! The Decatur reminds me of a steak knife, think that’s what I’ll use it for.
Those Alox farmers are tough and handy. Those saws can’t be beat for their size either. I like toting one with me when I’m working in the back field.Papa Bones wrote: ↑Tue Jun 08, 2021 5:37 pm I received these yesterday. Another Victorinox, this one a Farmer in Green Alox. This one was a SFO for SoCoCut llc. and has the SoCoCut logo on the blade. New in the box.

Also received a Barlow produced by Providence Cutlery Company for Ric-Nor electrical supply. It is unused and like new. It has "Electric Mate" stamped on the bolsters, has a tang stamp of "Ric-Nor" over "Boston,U.S.A.", black plastic shell handles with a bail. The main blade is a Large Sheepsfoot blade and the secondary is a screwdriver blade and has a liner lock. Blades are tight, no wobble and has great snap. This is a cheapie, but a design that I think is neat, plus I like the history behind it.
Ric Nor was an electrical supply wholesaler. The company was formed in 1914 and went out of business in 1966. The knife tang stamps reads Boston, however Ric Nor was primarily located in Charlestown, Massachusetts. The Electric Mate was an electrician knife made for Ric Nor by the Providence Cutlery Company located in Providence, Rhode Island.

Nice catch, and fascinating provenance!Papa Bones wrote: ↑Tue Jun 08, 2021 5:37 pm The Electric Mate was an electrician knife made for Ric Nor by the Providence Cutlery Company located in Providence, Rhode Island.
That's a beautiful knife you're waiting for L.A., sure hope USPS finds it for you, it'd be a real shame to have that one sitting lost in some corner of the post office. Keep the faith, they've amazed me before with what they can find!Loose Arrow wrote: ↑Tue Jun 08, 2021 5:09 pm I've been waiting 3 weeks for this one that I won. I'm still hopeful that the USPS will find it.
VERY nice Smitty. I've never been a fan of SAK's, but that one certainly is well equipped, saw and all. Really like the deep blue color and sheepsfoot blade on the electricians too. Great finds!Papa Bones wrote: ↑Tue Jun 08, 2021 5:37 pm I received these yesterday. Another Victorinox, this one a Farmer in Green Alox.

Thanks Marco, I really hope so. I'll be sure to swing by and share it.Madmarco wrote: ↑Tue Jun 08, 2021 11:43 pmThat's a beautiful knife you're waiting for L.A., sure hope USPS finds it for you, it'd be a real shame to have that one sitting lost in some corner of the post office.

I spotted an Electric Mate on eBay. They have an interesting story. I did some temp work for an electrical supply distributor, and I now wonder if they once sold electrician's knives with their name.Papa Bones wrote: ↑Tue Jun 08, 2021 5:37 pm Ric Nor was an electrical supply wholesaler.

Cool cat! I, too, hope USPS finds your package. Sometimes I shake my head and wonder about that operation...
Thanks Colonel. I agree, I have been surprised by the saws. I've also got the silver, but decided to add some colors. Got a blue one a while back, and now the green.
Appreciate it Willie.
Thank you Marc. I'm not as crazy about the plastic handle SAKs, but have grown fond of the Alox handles. They are very durable!
Appreciate it Floyd.
Thanks Dan. I know, Colonial, Providence, Imperial, and a lot other Knive Makers have made promo knives for many companies. Might not hurt to do some research.
Very nice indeed L.A.!Loose Arrow wrote: ↑Wed Jun 09, 2021 12:29 amThanks Marco, I really hope so.
