17.) Case Sowbelly - CV 3-blade w/Stagbone
18.) Case Zulu Lockback - SS w/bone and T. Bose etch
19.) S&M Heritage Jack - 1095 w/Ebony
20.) RR Swayback - Stainless w/micarta?
Misc.
1.) Mini Sharpener
Here they all are!
It was interesting for me going through the box. I came in with pre-conceived notions of what I was going to pick, and not pick. I knew I was going to take the S&M jack, and I knew I wasn’t interested in the GEC 13 in micarta. Well guess what? The 13 is one of the two I’m keeping. I truly enjoyed getting to handle several different patterns and brands that I have not gotten to experience until now. After it was all said and done, I decided to keep these two:
I love how the 13 felt in hand, and I really enjoyed the solid build on the Maratac fixed blade.
Here are the two I’m adding:
I felt the box needed a little more case, and as the stockman is one of my favorite patterns I went with that. I also love case’s chestnut bone. Of course, the other is a split back Whittler to replace the one I took out. A black box Winchester made by Queen.
Let me know if you would like to be added to the next go around!
