From the Legendary Iman collection. Thank you to the Sorenson family for sharing Iman and his collection with us. Thank you Tom for a first rate purchasing experience.
The Schrade sports Jeffin bones and bolsters and Iman signature patina. I'll do my very best to wax and preserve the blades as they are while still using and carrying this knife on a regular basis.
I'm really digging that Schrade from Jeffin, nice grab!

Had a few come in the last few days, Tom pictures I reckon. Most of these will be Christmas presents for the son and grandson.

Nice haul, bigh

Those'll make some fine gifting fodder for sure....good on ya for thinking ahead and getting an early jump.
I have one of those little OD Green Burlap Micarta Civivi Clavi Wharnies....of all my knives, that's probably the one that ends up getting the most use....I love it

there’s a part of speech that conjures up images of a time gone by sadly - I remember sitting in the shade with my grandfather about 60 years ago sipping a Fresca and listening to the Red Sox on the radio and asking him if Yaz was going to get on base and he’d always respond, “I reckon” - it says it all!
Glad they all made it safe and sound BH!

Those are real beauties, JP
I'm sorry that Ridgegrass is having to thin his herd but it is nice that some of his knives will be staying in "the family"
Those four look like a perfect fit for your collection

knives sealed in bubble mailers inside a sturdy cardboard box with packing paper as needed is an unbeatable combination for ensuring no damage unless the parcel gorillas have other ideas

Thanks BH, I’m glad she made it safe and sound.

Haven’t caught up on this thread in a while. Nice one Q, JP those are 4 gorgeous Camillus knives. I don’t collect Camillus knives but those could make me change my mind.
Bighomer, that is one that caught my eye too, but I already indulged in that Iman collection pretty hard.

Neighbor the l- man was a very generous person, I always admired the fact that he's wasn't scared to carry and use the "to me" high dollar knives that he owned.
I posted many times that he was my hero in that he was tote'n better knives than a lot of collectors had as safe queens.

Nice Bighomer! I almost went after that one myself, but ended up getting his EO Schrade Cut Co. Good choice you made for a great cause. And you're right, Tom knows how to pack a knife!

Latest eBay find showed up today. Probably overpaid for it, based on condition, but I love these purple bone covers.

Oh yeah......now you're speaking my language, that's right: Mini-T
You needn't fret about "overpaying" for a Mini Trapper. "Overpaid" is such a relative concept. Because the inherent value of a Mini-T is impossible to assess, it's a word that is non-existent in the Mini-T lexicon. Trust me, the joy and satisfaction of owning a Mini-T far surpasses any amount of money you might have paid for it
