Great knives, Tony, not my style but very nice all the same!

Not my style either Mark ... got the Wenoka out of curiosity, and the Bruckmann as an investment (this knife's value is pretty high).
Price was too good to pass up on both. Thanks!

Been waiting on this one for a few days. I have grown fond of Pal knives, especially the bone handled one. This one looked perfect as far as the pictures and description on eBay. I don't recall the name of the old country music song that had a phrase "there's flaws in all of them" referring to the fairer sex but it was true about this Pal knife.

Hey, to each his own, buddy!
Your reasons for buying a certain knife are totally valid and for you alone to decide upon, and vise-versa for me or anyone else.
I can't tell you how many knives I've bought out of curiosity, but it's a lot.
Although I don't buy my knives for investment purposes, I applaud you or anyone else who does, I'm certain your efforts will pay off one day.

I found this Camillus 29 in a local junk/antique store. It's rare to find anything in these shops these days. Probably just fortunate timing.

Old user knives like that are so cool. I always wonder what other folks do with the old users that have minor damage. Me, I like to clean up the ones I can.

Been away for awhile spending money on everything but pocket knives the past few months. Been peeking in on occasion and getting jealous of all the fine picks. I haven’t bought any old knives but did pick up a few modern traditional knives.
I am a sucker for a swayback wharncliffe and in this case a Pena X Series Raptor XL. I jumped on the Jack Wolf bandwagon with this Gunslinger. I wanted a Desert Ironwood but they sold out in seconds.

Very NICE knives Eric ... especially like the lines on the Pena! Glad to meet you Sir!

Thanks. I don’t post as much as I would like. More of a lurker that buys and brags occasionally.

I especially like the Pena as well.

Yes, this one is tight enough that I put it in my pocket rotation.

Been wading in the shallow end of the bay again, seems this one been in the vicinity of some celluloid, cleaned up pretty good.

Great looking Hunter BigHomer .. looks very much like a Western 062 ... like it!
And glad to meet you Sir!

It does look like a Western.

Got one of these beasts for our outdoors activities this year:

Cold Steel AD10
- 3.5" S35VN Blade 3.8mm or over 1/8' Thick
- 5.25" G10 Handle
- 8.75" Overall

Side by side not so much in my eye, front bolster, nail nicks and the Monarch from Japan is actually thicker top to bottom and side to side, some heavier although that don't show up in the photo, but the shield is pretty darn close.
Thank you sir glad to meet you too CCC.

There are some big differences when viewed side by side.

Well isn't this a co-inky-dink, Tony, I was looking at your knife just yesterday but couldn't really make it out too well from the seller's pictures, but now I see it in your pictures it's a no-brainer, I've gotta have one!
What a solid looking knife, and, it's from Cold Steel!
Nice catch, buddy!

Yes Sir Mark ... this one is you (and me) for sure!! Perfect fit for a big hand ... built like a tank ... not a clip point ... it's a Beast! I know youtube can lead us astray sometimes, but every video I watched, they tried to abuse this knife ... they couldn't hurt it. Watch out though, there are some counterfeits out there. Thanks Man!! I knew you would like this one.

Great pick-ups everyone!

CCC, that Cold Steel is a Beast! Very cool knife.

Here are some recent pick-ups I found in my mailbox the past few weeks.

As some of you will probably know, the knives in the row on the right were a few that Q had recently posted for sale. And of course, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to purchase a few of these to add to the hoard, with the exception of the Zippo rough black synthetic with the Lansky mod. spike that was an unexpected and greatly appreciate bomb to go with the other Lansky Zippo 6107 Carver & Muskrat Ratcliffe mods. Also included in that package was the beautiful BIGHEAD 3 blade Mammoth Tooth/Jasper Mini-T build, 1st Issue Green Jigged Bone Mini-T, Natural Smooth Bone 6207W & Queen 51T dressed in ACSB. Thanks again Q, for all these sweet additions to my Mini-T & Wharncliffe sub-collections.
