2018 #82 Dixie Stockman and Possum Skinner Run

[Ajd3530]

While I really like the UN-X-LD company shield, it does look a little out of place on Le Possum?

My only wish would have been a wood Tidioute #82 Possum (ironwood? gabon? osage? rod sucker? bocote?) instead of micarta.

Either way, gotta have both love the possum skinner!

Well maybe it just doesn't look very good in a more slender knife. The only knives I've jad that had an Un-X-Ld shield were a #38 and a #48, an I personally thought they didmt look good at all.. Maybe it's a different story on something with more girth, like a #35, #42 or #98.

I think the shield thing is simply for differentiation between the 2 models. I note that the Stockman version in Micarta has that odd bent worm shield.... whereas the Pen Skinner version has the more pleasing (to my eye) Frankfurter. Same with the Elderberries, I certainly don't dislike the UnXld shield and it works well in rugged backgrounds such as Stag(formerly) or deep jigged bone. Keyhole/Cloud really only works on smooth terrains such as woods or smooth bone.


Nothing wrong with the UnXld shield I say

Received my elderberry today, probably my favorite from the run so far, all have been top notch quality.

 

[DelOro]

Could it be *possumible* to see these soon?

 

[Will Power]

Augie Thanks for showing the latest & greatest The Elderberry is a nice rich colour, handsome version for sure
Really looking forward to mine which is en route across the Atlantic.

Also keeping a sharp eye out for the Skinner Pen, what a fine array of blades for a Penknife Let's hope my dealer can oblige with this too...

Regards for the Knew Knife Year to all, Will

This will be the knife of the year for me. I already love the stockman version, but this is my perfect knife. I cant wait to get one, or two or three

 

[Will Power]

Mine's on its way to Europe! They look sleek

Just hope the W&T is in order....

Since I havent received word that I didnt get one and they were all standbys, I just found and bought the first one. Way to excited for this one to take any chances

Nice! Ya I think this is gonna be a great pocket friendly knife. Slicing machine with a useful secondary blade.

 

[rockgolfer]

Exactly! And the frame is perfect in hand. Get even better missing a spring and blade(for my likes and uses anyway)

 

[nyrico]

Can't wait, I too have a Micarta Possum Skinner en route.

 

[rockgolfer]

I am curious if these will have a 2018 or 2019 tang stamp?

Edit: Found a pic shows 2018

Makes sense to me!

You gotta "track & hunt" the possum, before you can "skin" the possum.

Glad you found one!
