I have not seen any adds or paperwork for this first pattern. Would be interested in doing so. Until then, I'm calling it the hawkman 8)

The second is a model 2006 from the Swiss Master series. I have the 2008 but don't carry it often, it's a bit wide for the pocket. This 2006 is 2 layers thinner. It also has a narrower profile than the similar mountain guide, but has a scissors and a Phillips instead of a corkscrew. It'll definitely see pocket time.

These are in great shape. There's no natural light to be had at this time, so my pictures aren't doing them justice. They must have also beat the holiday rush. In spite of few extra hundred miles on the delivery route they showed up speedy quick.
That OLD Cutler knife has an interesting blade configuration. The model 2006 SM series looks new ! Great purchases .
Looks like you’re putting that old blue container to good use . Great way to repurpose an old item ::tu::

Just added another Appaloosa 99 to go with the pair I had. One of my favorite Case patterns and I love them with the Appaloosa Bone.

I have a good picture of the blue metal display and the cabinet display its sitting on posted in the comfort knives thread. I thought about putting a plexi lid on it, but I like how it's sort of an interactive display. If someone comes over and is interested in a knife, they can pick it right up and examine it. A few on display will also get carried from time to time.

I've got one more knife coming my way soon. Im pretty excited for that one ::handshake::

Thanks, Rob! Appreciate your feedback brother. I've never been a big fan of GEC American Elk due to the lack of color & character, but agree that these look better than most I've seen and added a couple more pictures with the pile sides. ::handshake::
