The small Bear and Son (US) fixed blade to keep on my desk as a letter opener.


There are a few knives that just need to be pulled (a couple I added as "freebies" the last time I had the box and some others that are just taking up space or have been lingering.
 
Sorry for the blast, but I thought people might like a pictorial.

I'm trying to figure out how to lighten the box. The last two (RR denim and Boxed, decorative chinese lockback are heavy and bulky., so are candidates for separating out.

A while back when the box got too big someone split it in two and had 2 drawings. One was the regular pass around and the other was a straight-up GAW. Might be time to consider doing that again.

I might separate some of inexpensive classics into a pass around box. Something you can put in your pocket and use for a week or so.

One of the things I have enjoyed on the gaw box is seeing so many different knives.
 
Removing a couple of trade pen knives, a tiny jack, the browning (china) stockman and the rough rider denim and a Presentation lockback (China)

I am pushing out the deadline to Sunday night to get some more interest, since I have been negligent in promoting the box.
 
I don’t know why I didn’t see this come up again, but I’m glad to see the plan and pictures!
