I recently won an auction that was right up my alley: a cheap lot with an Old Timer. A 104OT, to be specific.

The lot also contained a mystery knife.

Here's the latest to sit in the throne at the top of my trophy case. Picked up this sweet beauty in a very fun and highly rewarding knife swap with Ivoryman who was kind enough to let it go. A custom Erickson single blade at 3½" closed length is right in my wheelhouse. I absolutely LOVE everything about this knife...not the least of which is the Wharn/Spear hybrid blade profile. This knife just blows my mind every time I look at it (chicken-eye) or handle it (coon-finger) which seems to be pretty much constantly. I honestly don't think I've set it down for more than about 30 seconds since it arrived...just can't stop admiring every little detail. This is just about the perfect knife for me in every way. As much as I'd love to EDC it, I know that will never happen under my watch. Normally, a knife like this would go straight into my safe to live out the remainder of its days/my life as a safe queen...but, I just can't bring myself to hide it away just yet...oh no...it's gonna be out on display for a good long while, I reckon...getting all the wear and tear that comes with loving/fondling/caressing a knife as much as possible while still keeping it as pristine and unblemished as possible.

Thanks again, Ivoryman, you really outdid yourself this time and once again showed your true colors and generosity.

Butter smooth pulls with excellent snap. Zero blade play.
No blade rub.
Back springs and liners are water tight.
The jigging and dyeing on the bone is beautiful.
Nice reverse frost etch. Blade grinds and edges are nice.
Fit and finish overall is just superb.
I think this knife is ‘80’s vintage. 4” closed. Like the Henry Boker shield too. I think these Boker traditionals are one of the most under appreciated brands by far.




Got these 2 this weekend to. Boker Solingen SFO’s for Stihl. A 4” smooth bone stockman and a 3-3/8” Barlow.

First another colored ALOX SAK to add to my SAK group. A 2019 Cadet in Champaign Gold with Alox handles.

Next another to add to my Craftsman and Camillus 72 clone family. It's a Craftsman 9494 Carpenters Whittler with the Reddish jigged handles, and Craftsman shield without the Crown around the word "Craftsman. Blades are full and have beautiful snap and no wobble. They do have scratches, spots and some tiny pitting, but does have some of the original luster. It did need some cleaning.

Nice pick-ups, Smitty. I may well be on the hunt for one of those 9494s now!

Fair Warning: Be prepared to see this sweet sweet little beauty showing up in multiple threads...a knife like this deserves, né demands, to be seen and to be shown off for all to enjoy, albeit if only from afar and only in digital form...sorry, kids (but not really! )
