Absolutely LOVE this little knife. Mahalo, Ivoryman (and also Bob Newell who commissioned the mod and sold the knife to me).

Qt that is a great score.
I was able to pickup a few knives at the US Hwy 127 yard sale event yesterday. A German made Marbles large Congress with imitation tortoise shell covers, a Camillus TL-29, and two Hen & Rooster large Congress with stag covers (one with the Tobacco Congress blade etch, the second is a Coon Hunter blade etch Congress). These don’t compare to your score QT but these fill in a few spaces in my stag collection.

Included are a long line Camillus converted to a single blade, A White Tail Cutlery in stag and a Moore Maker 5301 in some very excellent stag. All three very knicely done, not perfect but pocket worthy. And all 3 very sharp. Some mechanic's practice knives probably. I think a steal at $10 a knife. 30 30 Cartridge shields and the mechanic could probably use some practice on the main pins. Thanks for looking.

My contribution for Mail Call today is a big old Robeson Granddaddy Barlow. I believe this one can be recognized as a HOK. The bolsters apparently have been used as a hammer and it has been personalized by B W A. Most of the blade lenght is still there and It will bite you if your fingers or thumb are in the way as it goes into the well! The tang stamp is the '40-'64, all block letters ROBESON/SHUREDGE/U.S.A., pattern #512224.

But, I received a couple of nice one's today and have a few more on the way, so I'll be able to participate more. I had become somewhat discouraged with sitting on pins n' needles and worrying if my packages would get through Customs, as well as suffering the seizures, so I came up with a new plan. There's an online store here in Canada that has many, many models in stock, and, some with A/O that they already had before Customs went nuts on folding knives, so I'm concentrating on purchases from them as opposed to Ebay and other foreign stores where the packages need to pass Customs. I've found that after currency exchange and distant shipping the CDN prices I need to pay are very similar to what I'd have paid had I ordered from out of country. This is not to say I'll never buy from out of country again, I'm simply going to be much more selective than I had been. I also made 2 new connections to buy autos from, with one really beautiful model on the way, so it seems I'm back in the driver's seat. These 2 today are both from Lionsteel and are made in Maniago, Italy and are models I've wanted for sometime. The 1st is the 7" oal "Thrill" slip-joint/M390 drop-point blade, textured black aluminum covers, adjustable pivot, and a very cool pocket-clip deployment. In order for the clip to be deployed you must depress the shield on the mark side down by the butt-end, and the spring loaded clip will pop-up on the pile side.(See 3rd pic!) When you release the shield the clip drops-down flush into the cover again. Cool, huh! The 2nd piece is the very first L/S knife I'd come across, and was instantly attracted to it's simple design. It's a 6 3/4" oal "Bestman" model/M390 drop-point blade, I believe NS bolsters, SS liner, adjustable pivot, and carbon fiber covers. These were not inexpensive knives, running me CDN$200./delivered a piece, but they fall in line with my new policy of "quality over quantity! 8)WIN_20210811_12_34_17_Pro.jpgWIN_20210811_12_31_16_Pro.jpgWIN_20210811_12_33_49_Pro.jpgWIN_20210811_12_35_26_Pro.jpgWIN_20210811_12_35_09_Pro.jpg

Are you sure it isn't Delrin?
