Man... I wish I would have known you were in the market for the birch Prime. I just sold one recently, lol. What do you think of the swell-end jack? I keep going back and forth about buying one.

Perhaps more correctly stated, I should state that I was in the market to be swayed! :D

I really like the little Thula wood jack, and the bottle-opener/small prybar is a welcome addition. Mine came razor sharp and has handled several cutting chores over the weekend perfectly. All in all, Boker is making some excellent little knives these days!
 
Received today, Bastinelli Shadow FX533 CF! I can't believe how light this knife feels. 4.5 oz? Doesn't feel that heavy. Incredibly sharp blade. My only knife that is a better slicer/edge than my PM2. Tip is not as pointy as my PM2, but also less fragile. Excited to give this Elmax a bit of a workout. Nice action, drops quickly. I had some some lock stick in the beginning, but after 30 deployments it's gone! A beautiful leather case included. The nicest carbon fiber I have ever seen!

Smallish fixed blade came in today, just about right, arrived quite sharp and pointy, kydex sheath had a clip on it but I removed it and set it up for neck carry being light it works great that way.

blade is about 2 3/4" and overall around 6 1/4" long

compared to my Giantmouse Farley it is pretty close in size

I added the small bobtail fob to aid in drawing the knife

Finally got around to taking a picture of the two knives I got at the end of last week. The Casstrom Swedish Forest Knife No. 10, with Micarta handle and Uddeholm Sleipner steel, is designed by Lars Fält. The Condor Nessmuk, with walnut handle and 1075 carbon steel blade, is designed by Joe Flowers.

I've wanted to get the Casstrom No. 10 for a while now, but when they recently offered it in Sleipner steel at the same price as the other options I pounced. The Condor Nessmuk is one I've looked at a lot over the last few years and decided it would be a good add-on for this purchase, because I'm a sucker for a Nessmuk.

No photo as it would probably be pretty boring compared to what you guys have, but I bought a Ka-bar USMC knife today, the standard 7" , brown handle, brown leather sheath model. Owned and gifted my first one away many years ago. Recently recommended one to a friend who asked, by the end of it, convinced myself I need one again too. I have recently lost a becker Bk-5 camp knife , so this will fill the hole for a while.

Just received this Shirogorov Quantum Ursus NL that I purchased off of the Exchange about a week ago. 6 days for Priority Mail delivery. LOL! ;)

Nice knife, well made and attractive, but there's nothing really extraordinary about it IMO. Just bought it because the price was "right" and no one else bought it before I did.

It's my 1st and probably my last Shiro because, although it's the cheapest Shiro sold, it was already approaching my knife purchase limit, even after it was discounted 20% from retail.

Will just add it to my collection of "high end" folders, which are all in the same general price range, including a Hinderer XM-3.5 Recurve; an Olamic Rainmaker, Wayfarer 247 & Swish; a non-integral Brian Tighe (not Friends) -- Tighe Breaker; a Spyderco Drunken & Nirvana; and a ZT 0600.
