what a beauty! I really love the Winterbottom handles. One of my EDCs is a well worn #49 shown in my avatar, the other is an unsharpened 49 showing the original color. The imitation Winterbottom is quite durable as we all know but doesn't have the great lookof the real stuff.
Great old knives these Queens! I'm not prejudiced, I like old Cases and Treebrands, too.

That's not a backlog, that is a logjam! Nice lineup....and nice hat!Madmarco wrote: ↑Mon Oct 23, 2023 6:25 pm I have somewhat of a back-log of knives I've recently received so I'm going to start posting them today.
For some of the lower-end "fun" knives I'll post a few at a time, then when I get to the higher quality pieces I'll be more descriptive.
I'm going to start with this pile of all-metal folders.
Here goes!

Here's a better view!Uh-oh, that smiling face just blew your whole AAPK image! All those pics of your hand holding knives were somewhat sinister looking, but the truth is out now, you're not Jack the Ripper after all!Madmarco wrote: ↑Mon Oct 23, 2023 8:41 pm Ha, ha, ha!
Thank you, Ike!
These are only 5 "logs" posted, I still have close to 20 more to post, so I'm only 1/4 of the way through the logjam!
And how in the world were you able to make of my hat from those dark pictures?

Still a beautiful knife. I’m partial to the Buck 503 Prince. First knife I bought back around 1970 give or take. It was standard, not custom. I still have it.Jeepergeo wrote: ↑Mon Oct 23, 2023 10:26 pm In today's mail was this Buck Limited Edition 503 Prince. It festures Mammoth Ivory and Tooth, polished 420 HC steel, nickle bolsters and was apparently crafter by a singke craftsman, Dan Peretti who has been with Buck sunce 1976.
Fit and finish is very nice except the tail end opposite the bolster. The tooth material has a small gap between the scale and the body at the end. It looks like there is a black filler in there or maybe that is polishing compound. I may just keep it, but I'm concerned that the gap could weaken that scale.

when I showed that picture to another member they were quite surprised too. 
They said the way I speak doesn't match the way I look, whatever that means. I was thinking more along the lines of the one-armed man from "The Fugitive"! 
lol! Or even "Mark the Canadian"! 
lol!
I knew it!!! That makes it conspiracy fact!! 
... 
The truth is out there!!! 
That should be hung on a wall somewhere. That is truly knife art.Jeepergeo wrote: ↑Mon Oct 23, 2023 10:26 pm In today's mail was this Buck Limited Edition 503 Prince.

Thanks. Yesah, the 503 fills a big gap when a 110 or 112 is just too big for the occasion.OSCAR wrote: ↑Mon Oct 23, 2023 11:01 pmStill a beautiful knife. I’m partial to the Buck 503 Prince.

Thanks. It will eventually go into my carry rotation for those days where a smaller knife just makes sense. The first cut with the blade will cause me to pause, but all my knives are tools to a degree, and careful use patina just adds to their beauty.CarMan wrote: ↑Tue Oct 24, 2023 8:58 amThat should be hung on a wall somewhere.

I wouldn’t be as reluctant to use that beautiful knife, as I would be concerned about losing or damaging it. I agree with you about the patina. Knives are tools true enough but your new acquisition is truly a work of art as well.Jeepergeo wrote: ↑Tue Oct 24, 2023 5:52 pmThanks.

Fantastic knife, Joeradza!joeradza wrote: ↑Wed Oct 25, 2023 1:35 pm Steve McNatt and Vincenzo Balistreri teamed up to produce this version of a saddlehorn. It’s 4” closed with black micarta scales and the most magnificent clip point blade of AEB-L steel. I’ve been fortunate to handle some wonderful knives in my years, but I honestly feel this is “the one.”
