I really like the Ka-bar coke bottle.
I bought one of the Brother 1502 last year and liked it so much, I bought 2 more for my sons. I consider it to be my gentleman's folding hunter but I carry it far more than just hunting.

Nice knives, Marco!

Thanks Kerry! The 4 Brother's are really nice models even if they come from China, and the Kabar coke-bottle is fast becoming a favorite! What more could I ask for, Kabar brand, 10" oal, coke-bottle frame, spear-point blade, bone covers, it's perfect!

Thank you very much Ken! The Kabar was on my radar for a looong time but could never find one at a reasonable price, so when I spotted that one in the huge collection that Mark bought I pounced! I really like the 4 Brother's too, I'd say your description of a gentleman's folding hunter is spot on! I bet the sons love em' too! P.S.-I failed to comment on that GAW little short knife you posted a couple days ago so I'll comment now, "nice knife Ken!" Lol!

Just had these arrive, straight from the post office, great service, 11,000 miles and customs cleared in 14 days.

As is my standard practice with new knives, will give them a clean up, will then post proper photos.

IMG_20220201_093202.jpg

Don’t keep us waiting to long .

Here is the first one, cleaned the covers and flushed and oiled the joints. Then did the first of my experimental finishes on the covers, something i have been thinking about for a while. Very happy with the finish, went from okay, to really classy, look a lot better now.

As it arrived.

Now after some housework.

Beautiful knife Cudgee! I like what you did to spruce it up! With it's simple straight lines, new appearance, and that lambsfoot blade, you sure said it, from so-so to yee-haw!
