Hi all,
I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and that you will be blessed with a very Happy New Year.
How about another round, eh?
If you have been keeping track, you will have noted that @315 split the box of knives that he had received into three different groups and I was the lucky soul to receive the one that is to continue this longstanding Porch tradition. Shown below is the assortment that I received. The only thing missing is a Trestle Pine Coozie - unfortunately, I get to keep that (or what's left of it) due to one of my dogs eating it... I will be including a replacement coozie that comes from a local establishment to pass along with the knives.
Now for my selections: I gave this some careful thought as I wanted to avoid just putting in a handful of knives and only taking one or two (which is what my initial intent was). However, I feel that is what led to the bloated assortment to begin with so I decided to take a different approach. A knife for a knife in a sense - I will be taking several and replacing with a like number in hopes that I can help infuse some further variety for future rounds.
I chose the following:
- Case 6332 - I know very little about this knife, other than that I like the pattern, the size, and the blade configuration (pen, instead of a spey).
- GEC #13 - I don't have a 13 in the collection and for whatever reason, I took to this knife more than I thought I would.
- Camillus 72 - I like this knife and it is different than what I would typically go for.
- Old Timer 340T - My very first pocket knife was a 340T and it's in real rough shape. This one is not and I look forward to having intact blades again.
I decided to replace a Case with a Case, a GEC with a GEC, a Camillus with a Camillus, and an Old Timer for an Old Timer.
- Case 11031SH - I love this pattern from Case and I wish they would run it again.
- GEC #21 - New, with tube, it's an excellent working knife and one that GEC should run more frequently.
- Camillus 67(?) - I don't think this knife had ever been used before I acquired it (the patina is from me). It's a great stockman.
- Old Timer 120T - Nice full blade that hasn't ever been used. Patina is from exposure, I think, not use.
I will add the list from @315's thread. If you would like to be added or removed, just say the word and I will make it happen. I will let this run a week or so and then do a random drawing.
