I want to get this done swiftly, so let’s say I will do the drawing this Sunday morning, with the intent to get it in Monday’s mail.
Now here's what happened:
When I received the box, its contents looked something like this:
When considering my additions to the box, I wanted to try to keep the level of quality high, and also keep the contents interesting. I hope I achieved that.
I took:
So: here's what's getting sent out:
Or, to better see it, here we are in thematic clusters
Here’s the American-made classics cluster:
5 Cases, 1 GEC, a Buck or two.
And the imported American classics
And the advertising knife group:
Stockmen:
The European contingent:
Swiss Army:
Not pictured in close-up are the two knock-offs (the Japanese Mercator and the Chinese Otto Messer) and the two fixed blades.
I want to point out one other thing: there was one non-knife thing in the box as I received it.
But that will go in the next message as I have reached my image count.

When considering my additions to the box, I wanted to try to keep the level of quality high, and also keep the contents interesting. I hope I achieved that.
I took:
- The Case Peanut. It came in a box that said “mother of pearl” but I am pretty sure it’s not MOP.
- The Schrade Rope Knife
- The Bear & son micro-razor
- The Lionsteel
- The Camillus stockman
- This odd fixed blade made by a Canadian outfit I’ve never heard of, Grohmann. I am thoroughly intrigued by the shape.
- GEC (Northfield) 12 in stag. People seem to like these GECs
- A French Cognet friction folder made out of some type of horn, IIRC.
- Another friction folder - this one made by BPS, a Ukrainian knife-maker well discussed here.
- A Wright & Son Barlow in Buffalo horn. This has one stout pull.
- A green-boned Case Trapper. It has served me well.
- In carbon steel, a Case Coke Bottle knife (or is this a “swell center jack?”)
- My old Western stockman.
- My favorite bugout bag knife. This is not the vanilla Morakniv Companion. This is the higher-end Spark model that’s got the fire starter in the handle.
