Everyone's latest acquisitions!

lol, eventually I'm sure but some of this new stainless takes a little longer...

I also received the new Resilience today. For some reason, I thought it would have a translucent handle like the Manix LW. I do like the shade of blue though. The picture of the Manix handle does not do it justice. It looks much better in hand. The Byrd Cara Cara is on the bottom.

I've been in the middle of a move to a new city the past couple of weeks, so not a lot has come in.

The best is definitely this bad boy though! A gift from my friend Jack Black Jack Black . :D

It's an SFO A. Wright & Son Swayback Lambsfoot. I've owned several knives from Sheffield and none have had fit and finish anywhere close to this level. Beautiful rosewood(?) covers, a (sharp!) carbon steel blade, and brass liners... With the best blade shape and frame ever produced. :D

Next is something I picked up for a little something something I have planned. :)

A GEC #14 in goldenrod sawcut bone.

And last, but definitely not least, the KnifeCenter exclusive Demko AD20.5 in Titanium and 3V steel. Love it.

I just received my Stretch XL. The middle knife is the original Stretch, and the Stretch 2 is on the
bottom for comparison. Although I am a sucker for bigger knives, this doesn't really look like a Stretch to me. Maybe they could have given this excellent new value knife a new name.

It candidly looks like they put a large PM2 blade into a Stretch handle. Not bad at all, but you're right, also not very "Stretchlike".
 
Finally bit the bullet and bought a Demko AD20.5 now that they are available at knifecenter in 3V. First knife in 3V, got the red with sharksfoot. I like knives with hole openers. Perhaps because I like putting my finger in holes? lol j/k. Easy way to lose a finger to a lamprey.
