At only 3¼" (closed) it's smaller than I normally prefer, but I just couldn't resist the Wharn/Mammoth combination. As with my other Nowland custom (Wharncliffe/Stag), the workmanship is exquisite. It's tight and snappy with a half-stop, and the run-up between the blade & back spring is about as perfect a fit as I have ever seen---the line where they meet is all but invisible to the naked eye and barely perceptible with a fingernail. For such a tiny little fella, this is truly an exceptional knife. (Unfortunately, this will have to be my last custom knife acquisition until my knife budget somehow manages to dig The Monkey out of the financial hole he dug for himself with all his reckless, out of control, devil-may-care, freefall spending on knives over the past few months! )

I was really surprised to see signs for an estate sale with the recent weather, but I will take what comes my way. To my surprise two Stag Case knives and a Gerstner chest followed me home, all for less than a 'C' note. The dental chest (a model 41) is unusual as the drawers have metal bottoms (sanitary reasons I guess). It is one of the cheaper, if not the cheapest chest, Gerstner made being made for traveling dentists and dental students. I am more excited about the dental chest than the knives. Here are pictures:
