1) Case Canoe #62131SS. Mediterranean Blue Jigged Bone with Long Tail C shield. Stainless blades. What I really like about this one is the wide and very thin blade on the main spearits a great slicer. The oversized pen is also thin and likewise cuts very well. There is blade scratching and very apparent rub marks on the blades (can't see in pics but is there). I have sharpened this one and both blades have nice edges.
One thing I didnt like about this knife originally was that the scales were too squared off and I didnt like how that looked or felt in hand. So I rounded them off and they are very comfortable now. I described it here: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/1121124-Blue-Canoe-Redo
Includes original box and paperwork. $30.00 SOLD
2) A.G.Russell Reverse Congress. Red Rucarta scales and AUS-8A steel. Made in Japan. Excellent fit and finish as is typical for A.G.s Japan made knives. 3 ¼closed. Easy pull on both blades. Nice blade combo with clip main and small wharnie secondary. The latter has been modified with a hawkbill-ish slight curve, making it very handy for opening clam packs and similar chores. I have sharpened both blades and they have very nice edges.
I really like this pattern (I already have 2 of them!), and the good folks at A.G. Russell tell me its vintage is around 1998 and it was a big seller at $44.95 (+ $8.95 shipping). Top notch gentlemans pocket knife.
No box. WITHDRAWN
3) Opinel #8 in Bubinga wood. Stainless blade. This is the mirror polished model and comes with a suede pouch. Has some minor blade scratches. I have sharpened it and it has a nice edge.

4) Opinel #7 in Beech wood. Stainless blade.
On this one, I did some tweaking: smoothed out the sharp tang, smoothed the spine, adjusted the locking ring, and applied tung oil and a little stain: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/1180425-A-13-Knife I have also sharpened it to a nice edge.
No box. $8.00 SOLD

There are some faint horizontal rub marks on the blade as though someone were lightly satinizing it. Locks up solid with no wobble or play. Grip is very comfortable due to the ramp for the forefinger right behind the choil. Long pull and half-stop.
