Got two more Craftsman knives today.

[Ivoryman]

Mail was good today. Had a fabulous little treasure in it when I opened the box. Glennbad special. The antler looks better in hand than the pictures and mother nature wouldn't cooperate today and give me any sun. Gray gloomy all day, but more pics to come when the sun comes out. But this little baby got my blood pumping and spread some knife shine on the otherwise gray surroundings. Can't thank Glenn enough for a fabulous job and fabulous antler and if it's sacrilege to mod a Waynorth, than I'm converting to sacrilege. Now it's a one-of-a-kind to me, a rare Waynorth in stag and right bit better looking than it was IMHO. Thanks thanks thanks Glen.

That is gorgeous!

Got these two Schrade's in the mail from one of our member's store.
I'll give them to my son in Decatur to go with his old red tractor that
he is restoring.

Very nice David. Better watch it, those Craftsman's are kind of addictive. Ask me how I know.

Got this from a local custom maker in a trade. Handle is Madagascar ebony.

Great looking fixed blade. Love the handles.

Got another Hogue Microswitch today. The Aquamarine Wharncliffe model is the new arrival.

Sha-weeet!!

Nice!

When I do buy my first auto after the reversal on the auto ban goes into effect on July 1, I've specified that whatever I buy is US-made. The Microswitch in Wharncliffe is the front-runner. The aquamarine color is less tactical, so less likely to draw attention.


I see used Kershaw Launch 4s all the time for $50-60, but I like the blade shape on my SpeedSafe Chive much better. Not only does it have a tip lock safety, it is also legal in more places due to not being automatic.

Thanks Cody. Autos became legal to carry here a year or so ago and because of that, I'm fairly new to carrying an auto. I have to say that although I enjoy many types of knives, opening a folder with the push of a button is a very enjoyable way to use a knife. It has become my favorite method of blade deployment.

I really like these Hogues but we have a 3 inch blade restriction for carry. I want one of the bigger Hougue autos too but knowing that I won't carry it is holding me back from getting one. These Micoswitches are of superior quality and I'd like to try a larger model someday.

The blades on all three of mine are perfectly centered and they all lock up tight as a drum. The safety switch is consistent on all of them too. Just the right amount of resistance on all three. They click into place and they stay there until you move them. I'm 100% worry free about these accidently opening in my pocket or closing during use. They are wonderful knives.

Beautiful knives Rick! Your new Wharncliffe/Aqua is the pearl of the bunch!

Great looking knife

A knife like that creates its own shine, sho'nuff. Sweet stag.

WHERE DO I SIGN UP???

[Steamboat Willie]

Here’s my latest. I’d been searching high and low for an unused 1997 Buck 110. A ‘97 110 was my 18th birthday present to myself. The first knife I bought without a chaperone. I carried it every day for almost twenty years. I used it, I abused it, I loved it. Unfortunately I finally managed to kill it. I normally don’t believe in safe queens, but I’m going to keep this one fresh. Every time I look at it I’ll remember the day I unboxed “old number 1”

[Ivoryman]

Thanks Q, thanks Papa, thanks Railsplitter, thanks doglegg, thanks Steamboat, Mardco and Rustyoldknife. Appreciate the comments all of you. Thanks again and thanks Glennbad.

[Dan In MI]

Excellent pick-ups, y'all! And yes, those Craftsman knives do have addictive properties.

Nice!

I have a 442 and a 444 from my birth year that are users (I think Buck produced a ton of them in '96--in fact, I see more of that tang stamp on those two models than any other) but plan to add a 110 for the collection.

[toomanyknives]

The latest addition to the collection. A Case Family Brands 2009 Standard Knife Co. 61005. Something about this pattern catches my eye. It has an "old" look. Like me!

One of my favorites that you've posted IMan! Glenn must really like you to let that one go!

The 005 is a sweet little knives TMK. I picked up a couple back when they first came out. I just wish Case had produced more in different handle materials in this pattern.

Thanks Smitty! I agree!

Well, received this one a few days ago, had to do some clean-up, another fixer-upper. A 3-5/8 Cattleman's Knife I believe made by Camillus for Sears. It has bone handles, brass liners, A Spear point master blade, Sheepsfoot, secondary, and pen on the final. As received, It was rusty, the handle has a chip missing on the mark side center pin, the Main blade had a piece missing, all blades were stiff & gritty, and had been dropped on the end. So, did my usual cleanup and reformed the master blade back to a spear point. Amazing what a hot mineral oil spa treatment will do. Not only to flush out gunk, but to rejuvenate the bone. Now it is a decent EDC, and has some new life in her. All blades have great snap, and only the Master blade has a small bit of wobble. Here's some pics.
