I just picked up this pair. Figured I did such a good job Christmas shopping for everyone else, I would go ahead and cut myself in on the action, too!

Never seen scales quite like that. Beautiful micarta? Cool whatever it is. Congrats.

And a very striking pair it is, indeed. Nice score, SBW!

Mine too. I love the Case Buffalo and Bulldog look but they are too big so I haven’t bought one. The switch Blade addition seals the deal for me though.

Beautiful knife Coley. I have that one also that I bought from Plumbob about a year ago but with different scales. . They are a modified version of the Ka-Bar Grizzly. The Grizzly seldom comes on the market and in decent condition costs about $2,000 give or take. Too rich for my blood. This Schatt & Morgan is pretty much identical.
This Grizzly is currently being offered on AAPK.

This came in this week. Turns out it's a duplicate because I had already bought one back around the 1st of October. Thank goodness they are inexpensive. (under $20).

Good idea David. Now if I just had someone who would appreciate it..................

Yea, they’re green & black micarta. I think these were a Shot Show release? Not sure. I’ve become very fond of micarta as a handle material. Thanks for the kind words!

Beautiful auto Coley! I've admired those S & M knives since I first saw them, congratulations!

Thanks Marco,
I have been eyeing them and when I saw this one available I figured it was worth trying to trade something for it. I figured you would like it it checks two of your boxes: big and auto

Ha, ha, ha! "jou got it mang!" (Tony Montana/"Scarface" for anyone wondering!)

The Grizzly seldom comes on the market and in decent condition costs about $2,000 - $3,000 give or take. Too rich for my blood. This Schatt & Morgan is pretty much identical.

I’ve seen those Grizzly knives and the Case Zipper knives and knew they were out of reach. This Schatt is a great knife, I ended up talking to Bob , the one in his store was iron wood but he had a Leopard and 2 g-10 ones so I picked what I wanted. I compared it to Case Buffalo and it is identical, nice big knives.

My main Christmas gift was this Alox Farmer X & a lanyard.
Thanks for looking friends.

Add: Also recieved a bottle of DRAKKAR. Used to be one of my #1 perfumes back in my Army days. Haven't had any of it around here since 1993 because I couldn't get it here. Then it just popped up at the local drug store the other day so my wife grabbed it up for me. Funny that she remembered it & how a smell can take you back down memory lane. Felt like going to the disco after I smelled it. Anyways, a little off topic.

Congrats, very good looking SAK. I like that so much better than red it's insane. Love that color and the blade choice. Merry Christmas and happy New year.

Thanks Buddy! It was a very hard choice for me between red & blue but my wife Silvia liked the blue one better so I let her pick since it was her gift for me.

Wishing you all a very Sharp Christmas & a Happy New Year!
I am also looking forward to seeing everyone elses new Christmas additions. I'm sure there will be an OUTSTANDING show of cutlery here over the next couple of days.

Very nice Tom, I keep a bottle of Drakkar around also. It’s my main fragrance for over 25 years. I also like Realm. They stopped making that many years ago and suddenly it’s been brought back. Drakkar takes a back seat to Realm in my book. You’re right about how a smell takes you back. My brother wore Brut when he was in high school and every time I smell that I think back to those days when I was a kid and he was stepping out in his own car, that would be back in the 60’s.
I like that SAK, I’ve never had an Alox, but I like them every time I see them.

Good show old chap. That's a fine looking piece of hardware. That Alox twists my knobs. Love it!

Very nice Tom!! Congratts!! Merry Christmas!!

That's a cool little SAK you have Tom, congratulations, I just hope your new knife doesn't leave you with the "blues"! lol!

Mark, Jerry, woodwalker, Madmarco, Ken

Thanks for the kind comments gentlemen! I appreciate it guys!

Mark I'll keep my eyes open for some of that Realm but I recon my chances of finding any are about as slim as finding a Case Tadpole. Don't look very promising.

Channellock 85 10-inch Fence Pliers. At $30, a lot to pay, but I figured I needed fencing pliers to do fencing with. I tend to use linesman's pliers; and it's not good for their cutters to cut nothing but steel wire. It won't hurt Klein or Channellock products, but it wrecks Knipex.

The cheap ones tend to fail, a lot. We have several, and they are all crap. Many have thin handles that are painful to use once the grips fall off. Almost every off-brand pair tends to have oversize grips that fall off within a month. The soft low-end steels usually ding the first time fence wire is cut (especially if it's Red Brand, and not the soft off-brand Mexican stuff). We even have a pair someone snapped the steeple puller off of. I have Channellocks so old, they say Champion Darment not Channellock. I suspect these will last just as long.

I received this Queen #44 Hunter today, from Ebay seller Silverladdie, who is Jim Parkers son James. he sells a bunch of knives and knife related items on the bay. If you get anything from him its always fast shipping and over protected in wrapping paper.

Beautiful Jamie!

Thank you Mark, it’s the first 44 I’ve had and what a huge and heavy single blade. It’s nice for a knife made 1973-1975 era

Outstanding everyone! Picked up an old school Hen and Rooster.
