Can you tell that I'm kinda proud of this 110.

Buck 110 from the custom shop.
S30V drop point blade.
Nickel silver bolsters.
Nickel silver pins.
American elk handles.
Engraving.
Distressed leather sheath ( made in the USA).

Love that American Elk...not seen too often (at least not as often as Sambar Stag and other types of antler)...and the covers on your 110 are absolutely gorgeous. You certainly have good reason to be proud. Nice score!

Thanks Q

This is pretty close to the holy grail of knives for me.
Picked her up yesterday.

Nice pick up, KTK. Love the big game animals carved on the handle...very unique.

BTW: I used to live in Upstate NY and every time I drove through Naples I always tried to pick up a grape pie (which is where I first discovered them and really the only place I've ever seen them). Been many, many years since I had one, but the memories of that delicious pie have never faded. My mouth is watering right now just thinking about grape pie! Mmmmmmm!!!

Thanks!
Naples is a great town. Nothing like a fresh crumb-top grape pie.

That is pretty spectacular, KTK! Enjoy!

One of my favorite patterns, Ridge. What a beefy yet comfortable knife to carry. Enjoy!

TMK: it's a hoss! J.O'.

Just got this Zippo Trapper. I like it.

Thanks Guys.

Nice one Nev.

Not a mail call but....
A basement find
Finally decided I should find out what this knife was. VERY pleasant surprise to say the least. EIG Cutlery, Italy. 50's picklock, kris blade, 9 inch in very good condition. It had been laying in my late hubby's shop for at least 10 years. Was very hard to open and a challenge to close. Excellent snap, no blade wobble.
I did some looking online, not many out there and didn't see any as nice as this. Imma happy camper!

Looks like a great find, Boji. Congratulations.

You SKOULD be happy Boji, nice score!

Arrived today, a CaseXX, 2nd Museum Series, Coke Bottle Copperhead NKCA Club Knife 1990. Half stops, fine walk and talk, handsome green bone covers. Adequate sharpness; easily enhanced.

Very nice Garry.

Congrats Boji, that is a beauty.

I got a few in for my collection today. Keeping with my hunt for the Lucky Clover Case knives, the first one is a Muskrat.
The second one is a GEC Northfield 77 Barlow, made with olive wood from Israel.

Wow, I had to put my sunglasses on to view your knife Garry! You won't lose that one any time soon! Very nice!

Nice Mark! The Barlow is extremely handsome! Congrats!

Congrats Boji, Garry, Mark.

After viewing all your beautiful knives guys, I'm almost ashamed to post this recent acquisition, but I will anyway! From China a DeHong 9 1/4" oal lockback swinguard with SS hardware and I believe Bocote covers! I've never been a fan of swinguards, but I've recently acquired a few folders that have them and they look good on those knives, otherwise I'd simply remove them! The guards on this knife are very tempting too, cuz each side has a simple screw not a rivet holding them on and easy to remove! Shortly after ordering the knife I spotted a model with a drop-point blade, and since I'm a drop-point fan I ordered it too! Pictures once it arrives!

Nothing to be ashamed of Mark!!
Looks like a lot of fun!!
John

Thanks John! It's just that "China" is such a dirty word around here!

Thanks Mark, that one is a looker you posted.

What great wood grain and look to that olive wood SSK. Congrats, absolute sweet knife, pattern, covers.

Almost embarrassed to show this one here after all the nice cutlery you guys are posting . But, since it is my latest pick up, here it is.

Nelson Knife Co. Germany, Wharncliffe ½Whittler, Smooth White Bone
