Thanks Joe & Tank,for the nice comments,on the Barlows (I have to ""THANK" Perry,for those,as we did a little horse tradin' this week )

Good to see ya' postin' Tank and ya' gotta call me "'MONK"" or no one will know,who the heck,ya' talkin' about


__________ I don't know,what got things started,but,I have been in the "'trading/swapping"" mood,for a week or so,and done a little more horse-tradin', this morning ****** picked up a couple more, of the GEC Toothpicks finally got that American Elk,that__ ""johnny twoshoes"",Caleb, is always talkin' about,!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and a Burnt Stag (thanks,JW !!!!)

Man these are sweeeet! MONK!

I can never decide if I should post my latest here or in 'Knife Finds Of The Day'.

Oh well, this is as good as any. Bought this little Winchester USA Peanut of eBay a few weeks ago and finally got around to taking pictures. I noticed the shield is crooked and the tang stamp is almost non-existent but never thought much about it until now. After I took my pictures this morning, I noticed in the tang stamp picture, it looks like the tang stamp has been ground off. Factory second because of the cocky-biased shield???

Still a cool little knife Jerry, as is that Yellow Jacket

The Yello-Jaket is perfect. Looks like the day it came off the assembly line.

It is small. I don't get excited about small knives. The only reason I bought it was because it's late '80s or early '90s Winchester USA and the price seemed right.

I wouldn't mind having one or two more Senators. That's about as small Is I'm comfortable going.

You may not care for advertising knives but wait until you see the Coke 72 I've got coming.

Awesome Monk, awesome knife, perfect combination for trout.
I'm starting to get ready for trout season already, I just have months to wait now.

Monk, those GEC toothpicks! Can't wait 'til I can snag my first one!! I like how they're a bit less streamlined and beefy-er then a standard t/p. Tough lookin' knives, congrats!

WB - Those #12 on the previous page are Monk's. They are nice ones. I really like Elk
model that's like J2S's. You will be real pleased when you get one of the GEC picks!

Didn't I say Monk?

Just kidding, I edited it.

Sorry Monk, it's been a long week.
But, I still like those GEC Toothpicks!

Will do IM, still jockey'n for position with the little woman on that one. I'll get there one way or another though. (I always do...almost )

I've been on a #72 kick lately and picked up this Camillus last weekend. I'm pretty pleased with it except for the radial cracks around the mark side scale pins.

Now THAT IS COOL Jerry. Great pick

I got this Canal Street Trapper today. Philco was very generous to let me have it in trade. (THANK YOU Phil )

Thanks WB**** funny thing is up until last year,I didn't even own a "'Toothpick"" of any kind ???? just never did like the style?? Then__________________ I just ""fell in love"" with the dang things ___It was when GEC,released their two bladed version (Powderhorn Jack regular clip & pen blades) that I started lookin' closer at the toothpicks__found out I liked the slender,muskrat style blade,better than the regular clip blade, got me the one, below to EDC __ wow!!!! now you know the rest of the story !!!!!!

JW___ya' really made out on that trade !!!! That is one "'KOOL DUDE TRAPPER"" great looking scales !!!

Here's a great user I got in the mail today from Monk. Baby Sunfish in stag. Thanks Monk! New to the EDC lineup.

I think that's an -02 pattern Barehead Regular jack. Most def if it's 3 3/8".

That red is stunning, Monk! Excellent totin' knife!

WB

Monk, love the Blood Red 'pick. I prefer the slender traditional toothpick blade as well … I've been workin on a couple little GEC collections - a toothpick and a congress , but as usual, no pics yet …

Perry, that's a sweet little sleeveboard - that style spear works really well on that frame - a solid little carry knife for sure.

Here's a little number I picked up last week - a Scagel Wharnie fruit knife in Ram's Horn … I'm kinda likin' it …

~ Edge

kinda? KINDA?? Holy crap what a Knife! Always loved the Ram's horn handles but on that Scagel, FANTASTIC!

Thanks Perry!

Monk, as far as I can tell, that's the Scagel version of a nail nick. It does make it much easier to open, and while she's slender, the spring is still pretty stout … works well.

I've started to warm up to the Scagel / Northwoods knives lately …
