Good lookers, and yeah, the homemade look is quite fine to me. I miss seeing Tony Wood knives around for that reason. He used to post and he made his own folders that to me were up to snuff and one of a kind, hand made, his own design, and good looking. Love that kind of stuff.

That's great news Cudgee!
I know just how frustrating that wait is, and then the wonderful feeling of relief when the tracking says, "Cleared Customs"! 
Be sure to show us as soon as it arrives! Re: Mail Call !-Post your new pick-ups here............

Will do my friend.
But as you would know, the wait is not over till it is actually in your hands. How i long for the good old days when you could go into a store and inspect and feel the knife, then walk out with it. Re: Mail Call !-Post your new pick-ups here............

Got these 6 beauties by way of FedEx today. I'm surprised because I ordered them late on the 25th and I got them this morning. FedEx must have heard I was on the warpath with all delivery services. I will post my own pictures of them later.

There's a whole story behind it Kerry! You can read it in "The Switchblade Collectors" forum, the last entry in the thread "Some of my autos"! Too long to explain it all over again!toomanyknives wrote: ↑Wed Sep 29, 2021 10:01 pmVery cool Marco!

David, I believe you are going to like those. I especially like the Cattleman's Jack. I have been carrying that knife along with the Cattleman's Whittler for a few months and have grown very fond of both. The Jack has a reputation of having a problem of the master blade sitting low creating difficulty reaching the nail nick on the master blade. I cured the problem by dropping the height of blade of the secondary blade by grinding the kick. Let us know what you think of your purchase after you have had time to carry them.

You quoted my post from "Mail Call", but I said "Switchblade Collectors" forum, in the last post from the "Some of my autos" thread.

I have not had a chance to read the story Marco. I did just see it in mail call. I pride myself on just seeing the headline, and making stupid comments! LOL..Madmarco wrote: ↑Thu Sep 30, 2021 5:14 pmI'm not sure you've actually read the story behind the knife Kerry?

When I saw one of these on another post I couldn't resist... 
From the SMKW ad "All of the knives in the Marbles Black Stag Bone series features 440A stainless steel blades with a satin finish and nail nicks. All blades have "half-stops except the Jumbo Trapper Lockback. The handles are black stag bone with brass liners, and nickel silver pins, shield, and ringed, pinched bolsters."
Also here is a statement in an article from KNIFENEWSROOM.COM. I couldn't determine the date of the article.
"In case you don’t know, it’s impossible to get real stag these days. The stag embargo stopped all of that in its tracks quite a while ago, but that hasn’t stopped knife makers from trying to produce stag-like quality in handle material. Very few of these handles really look or feel like genuine stag, but we think the Marble’s Black Stag Bone series might be the closest resemblance we’ve seen yet. Marble’s used genuine bone handles and jigged that bone to resemble stag. The base color of the bone is white and smooth. The jigging is dyed black. The result is a non-stag, but natural handle material that looks very close to genuine black stag."
I chose to picture them on a pile of coins because IMO they are very good knives that are reasonably priced for anyone.

Good old survivor. Clean it up and throw it in that pocket! I think this is
what it started life as...Oh, and welcome!
