A Case knife came up for sale here on the forum that I have wanted ever since I started collecting so I asked my wife if I could get it for myself as a 50th Birthday present & she gave me a thumbs up.
It was the shield really. I wanted to have a Case knife with a Traktor Supply shield in my collection. I find the Barn cool.
Anyways, it's at my Mom's house and it will be a Birthday gift for me in November. It's gonna be a while till I get it but..., Ya gotta plan ahead right?
Thanks again Mark!
Appreciate it!
And thanks for looking friends!
A Great choice Tom.

The Detroit processing center is on of the worst. The only up side is that they eventually get the packages where they need to go.
Sorry for the delay, I could have driven it to you in less time. I sent out 4 packages that day and yours is the only one that got caught in the vortex.

At 3:49am it arrived in Bowling Green, KY. That’s only one county over. Fingers crossed. It’s getting closer.

Is that the normal last location before it shows "Out For Delivery"?

A lot of three. I paid more than my unrealistically small $20 budget at $35, but I felt it was worth it.
The first is the three-blade Schrade-made Craftsman 9561 with saw and wire stripper screwdriver blade from the Holub 249. I have seen them regularly bring north of $50 for beat-up examples.
The British Army Knife is dated 1940; putting it well within the WWII limit I set for an authentic one. In addition, it is made by George Wostenholm, my favorite classical Sheffield Maker (A. Wright is my present one due to being easily available from one seller here).
And I can't say no to another electrician--a Japanese-made Valor 164-A.

Good looking Trio Cody. Gotta love anything Craftsman. The Valor has some good looking wood. The old Wostenholm Marlin Spike is well made. I've got one I've had for years. Still a stiff opener.

Got my wife involved to get this one. The auction ended at 10:30 a.m. this morning while I was at work so I gave her a crash course in last second eBay bidding before I went off to work this morning. She got it for me. $22 shipped. I guess that's ok for a Victorinox Elinox.
I like the advertising on it too.
It's fitting to the knife.
I have a €30 budget this month so I still have a few €'s left over for something.
A cheap knife or another Hot Wheels.
I'm happy with it.
Thanks for looking friends!

Tom, you need to become acquainted with the FREE snipping tool "GIXEN". See something you want? It can be anything from just listed to a couple of hours from auction end. Set GIXEN and forget it. A few seconds before the auction ends, GIXEN will enter the bid you decided on as your max. Find it here
