Re: Mail Call !-Post your new pick-ups here............
Well fellow knifers please forgive me. I was getting some household items on Amazon on Monday and started looking at knives like I always do and this knife caught my eye for some reason. Dispatch Knives and Tools is a company I had never heard of. The knife is made in China of course
It's a lockback with a swing guard on it. It appears to be good stainless steel and it has Red Rosewood handles. It measures 5" closed with a 4" blade and weighs in at 5.3 ounces. For what ever it's worth out of 263 ratings it receives 4.3 out of 5 stars. Reading the poor reviews it sounds like some people thought they were getting a $50 knife instead of a $16 knife. I just don't think they knew anything about pocket knives. The price was cheap but I just liked the looks of it for some reason so I added it onto the order I was placing. Just out of the box I would give this knife about a 4.5 for looks, style, design and materials. It's not a knife I would buy to carry but it will look good in my collection.

I've had both for about a year direct from the source, and for just a few bones they are fine knives!
Since I no longer daily carry all they can do is look good in my accumulation, and that's why I bought em'!
I got the clip-point wishing it was a drop-point but got it anyway cuz I liked the overall look, then a week later the drop-point dropped and...well, you get it! They even have easily removable via a screw swinguards should the owner wish to remove them!
The drop-point is marked "DISPATCH" and has Rosewood covers, the clip-point "DeHong" and has Ebony covers!

I saw your post about yours coming on Tuesday, Tony, but chose to quote David cuz we have a thing where he posts a knife and as soon as I see it I'm asking him where I can get one, but this time I have the knife before he does, just my usual failed attempt at being funny.
I have a LOT of knives you don't know I have, that's why, again I keep telling you, you should browse my threads with all my knives in them, autos, manuals, and fixer's "maybe you'll start believing me now"! lol!
Seriously though, I think you would very much enjoy viewing my accumulations, I'm certain there are knives in there that you haven't seen before but wish you had, cuz many were purchased for their unusual and/or uniqueness.
It will be like you're at your own private knife show! Can you tell I'm proud of my knives?

Good for you on "over 400", keep er' goin', I'm closing in on 10,000, but I'm afraid you are far from still being a newbie!
That being said, we both have a long way to go to catch up with Jerry who is our long-time leader who has nearly hit 40,000, WOW!

Whew!
I'm glad you see it that way, David, and thanks for being understanding.
The thing about buying Chinese knives was about you being retired Navy, and perhaps feel the same as many current/ex-military members do regarding supporting China in any way, but I sure am with you where lack of funds comes in, me too.
It's certainly looking like I woke-up insecure as opposed to overly critical today!
