A most unique plastic handle! I really like this inexpensive thumb hole patriotic lockback 3.5” made-in-USA knife

Nice knife Jim ! A lot of people are down on Bear because their quality control isn’t great.
Every Bear I have is excellent. I always buy them at a store so I can see what I’m getting. I’m reluctant to order them by mail. And for all the people that dislike Bear, I remind them that Case also has well made knives as well as shoddy made knives. I’m also no fan of Case TruSharp Steel. If I get a Case, I opt for carbon steel. I also like the fact that ALL Bear knives are American made ! Nice find !!

Getting caught up with this thread as well. Some great pick-ups from everyone! And the one Bear & Son I have is pretty good.

This has been and still very much is a most popular thread, Dan, just look a the number of pages it has!

I also like to support Bear knives BECAUSE they are American made, and I found them to make a decent and sometimes GREAT knife for the $$$

Golly Theo, "sultry beauty," "cute little post lady"....sounds like you are having a provocative Wednesday.

Beautiful knife Theo. I always liked the muskrat pattern and that Schatt & Morgan is exceptional. Great find !

i would rather see a picture of the "cute little post lady".

Very handsome, Theo, I can tell from your words that you're excited about getting your hands on that one!
Molasses, Butterscotch, Rum n' Butter, mmm...take your pick!

I have a fist full of dollars that I received over the past couple of months but haven't posted yet to show you guys, enjoy!
An 8 1/4" oal unmarked made in Canada slip-joint with a fully engraved all stainless body and Damascus blade! Solid knife!This one is an 8 1/2" oal unmarked frame-lock with a SS drop-point blade, Titanium body with carbon-fiber inserts and pocket-clip! I have yet to perfect the front-flipper opening!This gorgeous little folder is a 6 1/2" oal SOG lockback with a spear-point blade and single-stud, and an all SS body! Nice n' heavy and built in Seki, Japan!This is an 8 3/4" oal United Cutlery UC285 front-lock with a SS modified spear-point blade with stud, SS body, Zytel covers, and front-lock closing system! This is my 3rd version of this kind of closing lock system! Made in Taiwan and cool as can be!And last but not least is this 7" oal unmarked less expensive version of a knife made by Sakai, I think, with a 75% serrated spear-point blade, NS bolsters and liners, and black Zytel cross-cut covers! I'm not a fan of the serrated blade, but I liked the look of this knife enough to overlook it, and, it has an invisible "run-up"!More coming soon!

Added this Case Tested 6100 to my collection this week. Thanks to our own, Roger. Thanks!

That 6100 is a beautiful example , congrats !

Not normally into Case knives, but that sure is pretty!

This one is in the mail and coming to me very soon. Kabar USN MK 2

Received this on Wednesday of this week from a guy I was stationed with in Viet Nam. I'm trying to talk him into joining the forum but I really don't know how much of a knife guy he is. He's the one I talked about in another thread that had a Randall #18 in Nam.

Some excellent pick-ups, everyone! The knife/hatchet combo is really neat.

I received this Victorinox Pocket Pal today. According to a fellow SAK fan in Switzerland, its shield is a less common style. It's a sharp and snappy little guy who carries beautifully!

Nice pick up there! Handy little buggers!

These are more that came recently but I'm just posting now!
First up is an 8" oal Boker Magnum frame-lock with a 440A SS drop-point blade, cross-cut titanium body, and a clip! I love the straight clean profile on this knife!Then there is this CRKT "Symmetry" non-locking slip-joint that is 6 3/4" oal and sports a SS drop-point blade with front flipper tab, Titanium body with carbon-fiber inserts, blued screws, and lanyard! Talk about a straight clean profile!Moving onto this 7 1/4" CRKT "Wasp" designed by Howard Viele that has an 8002CM Wharncliffe blade and the stud has a rubber insert, aluminum body with black/blue Pakkawood inserts, and a clip! This is a nice knife from CRKT!And finally for today are these two 8 3/4" oal Muela linerlocks, 1 all SS with a 50% serrated blade and 1 all brass plain edge! These are very solid and sharp knives that I can say I had the privilege of being cut by the first time I handled them!

Nice page all, great stuff Marco, Whitneyrifle, Jerry, Dan in MI. Congrats and have a great one.
