My new SAKs arrived yesterday. Green is likely my favorite of the more readily available colors other than silver.

Nice! I was thinking about making a "Green Knives Mater" thread...

Thank you, TOPDOG.

That is a supposed to be a bear carved out of piece of wood. I use as a totem, to bring good luck when looking for short-lines. However it appears that YOU have the STRONGEST totem when seeking out the short-lines ... because you ALWAYS seem to grab the best ones!

G dog ,not sure if it’s my totem or obsession. Haven’t been scoring much lately . You just snagged 2 #1 s in a short period , that’s not to shabby ,your totem is working . Take care out there and happy hunting .

Here is a Kline tool knife I picked up yesterday at a flea market.
I don't know who made it but it is very solid.

Thanks for looking.

Thanks, Mark and GSPTOPDOG! Nice pick-ups from GSPTOPDOG and FRJ, too.

A Victorinox Bantam with economy scales was delivered to me today. For some reason, I was the sole bidder. It has the older combo tool with no half-stop, so it likely dates to the early 1980s.

Nice one for the ole' collection Dan. You must own a ton of those SAK's.

Nice pictures! I have this same knife from Kline, I like the extra blade it makes a great carry piece

Thanks JP! I am looking for Short-Lines On-Line, as it is hard to find them around here at the flea market, yard sales etc. That is my main focus right now, Short-Lines, but I'll still grab any good old brand that I can find if the price is right and the condition usable.

Joe most of the older Kleins were made by Chicago Cutlery

I think that particular one is a Utica, who made them until relatively recently (2020). Klein has moved the entire 1550 line overseas. Some are still produced by Utica (who hasn't produced them as Kutmaster, their house brand, for 3-4 years now) for Proto.

Thank you, Cody.

And thank you TOPDOG and garddogg.

Astounding, ask and you shall receive. The amount of knowledge here never ceases to amaze me.

Bear & Son Bourbon barrel razor Barlow. This is my second “limited edition” Bear & Son from Red Hill Cutlery. I get the feeling they inspect these collaborations carefully as the build quality is truly excellent. The walk and talk on both of the knives I got from them were a little rough but it’s loosened up perfectly with some oil and twenty or so back and forth openings. No gaps in the springs, liners, scales, no side to side blade sway and very sharp out of the box.

Picked these up over the past week.

Buck Decatur (flipper) w/ unpronounceable wood scales. Well made...
Case Canvas Series Trapper w/eagle head/flag stripes
Kizer wharncliffe button lock w/red G-10 scales
Bear & Sons Barlow w/buffalo horn scales. 1 of 50

PS: Kat Eastwood says to "buy more knives!"

Nice catch!
I wish there was a decent flea market in my neck of the woods.

Nice variety pack there! I had bad luck with my first Bear and Sons Barlow. Maybe I’ll give them another chance and NOT buy from Amazon.

I got a Decatur in a package deal with several other knives a year or so ago. I love the light weight and smooth action, though I rarely carry it. I’m a little rough and tumble with my knives and I’m afraid I’ll damage the darn thing. It’s usually with me on poker night though

Thanks, Mark! I do have quite a few of 'em, and I could do well to cull the herd. In fact, one is on its way out tomorrow.

I'm not a big Barlow fan, but the Bourbon barrel covers would be an exception. Very cool!
