VERY nice!!!

I have a number of knives needing repair, and decided that I would get those repaired under warranty before I bought anymore this year.


I'd messed up this Cutco 1886 sharpening it a long time ago, and it's now completely blunt. I decided to try their lifetime sharpening service. So, it's off to Olean. I've heard hit or miss about their warranty service (unlike Buck or Victorinox--the gold standard for knife warranty--as they will fully restore almost junk knives for just a nominal fee), and it's why I procrastinated almost two years.

They say 2-4 weeks. Given the USPS (I had packages recently from both Utah and Missouri take almost two weeks), it will be at least a month. I hope the company logo on it doesn't affect the warranty in any way.

Won the auction, can not wait to get it in my hands!!!! I have a weakness for Ka-bar folders, it’s my thang…since I was a kid.

I must be a sucker for punishment, i have another parcel/bundle of knives on an 11,000 mile journey, they left last night. After my last experience i wonder why i put myself through the drama. Us knife people are a rare and different breed, in a good way though. Have a good weekend fellow knifers.

Nice

Bought two knives from two of distinguish members here at AAPK that should be here in a few days.
These are their pictures of course.

That Camillus is a real beauty, David. Love the sawtooth long pull.

Nice! Love the pearl!

I'm thinking certain Utica and early Schrade Muskrats are single-spring as well; and my budget looks at those a bit better.

The classic Remington R4593 has a nice fat single spring. Simple and perfect.

I should get this next week.

I can't keep quiet about this one. I passed on these when they were released and they sold out the same day. It's been my grail knife ever since. As a relatively new Buck collector, there is no other Buck knife that I want more than this one.

I managed to snag one today and I'm pretty excited about it.

January 2020 Buck of the Month. S35VN Drop Point blade. Nickel Silver frame. Scalloped Cocobolo wood handles. 200 made.

I'll post my own pics when it gets here.

Awesome, Pete and Rick.

I bud in NY State sent me this picture of knives in an antique shop that he saw recently. I immediately zoomed in on the 10th Mountain Division Ulster, told him it was easily worth $100 depending on condition, he said he would check out the price when visiting again. This past Saturday he texted me he picked up the knife and was mailing it to me. I would love to pick though the other knives in this case just to see what's really there.

Hoping the post office doesn't screw this up.

Nice Find

Wow! Super! Congrats John!
I can see at least 5 or 6 other great looking knives at good prices too!
I'd love to walk into that place with a little "Mad Money" in my pockets! Kutmasters, Boy Scouts, Case I'd walk out of there broke & overweight! Of course I walk out of everywhere like that anyways.

I was just thinking about doing a trip around the NY knife maker areas sometime. Bucket list!
