I will start this. My Christmas present to myself was the 2003 Camillus Collectors Club Knife. A amber bone Jumbo Trapper slipjoint. A really beautiful knife.
Good Collecting !
Merry Christmas !

My wife ordered me a Spyderco Calypso JR grey from new graham knives.
It showed up yesterday, she suprised me with it on Christmas.

I love it, fit & finish are perfect, I don't remember the clip on the original version, but the new one has a bead blasted clip with the black bug & is very cool.

Merry Christmas to all.
 
I got a Spyderco Kiwi from my girlfriend and a Marble's Trailcraft from my parents. Life is good!

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas.

Like uncleknife, I hope to get my Grey Calypso Jr. next week.

But for now, I'm VERY happy with my new 46" HDTV!!!

BM 710HS. althought it's my second Benchmade, it's my first knife over fifty bucks (had a BM ascent II). axis is cool [flicks open with axis lock]
 
I went a little blade crazy this Christmas, see what you people do to me?! :)

BM806D2 - Surprised it's bigger than my old AFCK liner lock! At least the handle is. I guess they had to make room for the Axis lock. Great knife! I went with PE and got a SE (BM806SD2) for my Dad. Glad to see some of the phs. bronze washers in there. I think my old AFCK and my 710HS might both by Teflon. Put a little Militec-1 on this bad boy and it's opening like a champ. The lock up is solid, and it's quiet too! Compared to my other Axis locks.

Kershaw Rainbow Chive - Smaller than I expected, but a cool little knife. Fits my hand well for it's size. I like the rainbow coating, very smooth. I think it opens faster than my Leek, probably because the blade is smaller. Great little Gent knife, and sheeple knife, other than the auto looking FLICK. :)

Al Mar SERE 2000 Satin Finish - How could I not get one of these with Glockman and the others raving about it? I was thinking "Okay, it's going to be stout." and when I opened it I thought "Damn, they weren't kidding!". It's a tank. No blade play at all, very solid lock up. Haven't tried a spine wack test other than beating on it with my palm while holding the handle (fingers out of the way of course). It didn't go anywhere. It does carry very deep. I will be spending some time lubing this knife up and getting the blade razor sharp. :) Then I'll see what it can do.

Seki Cut Hirsho (or something) little blue folder - Went with Maple Bur. It's a pretty little kninfe. I thought it would have a clip, but it doesn't. DOH. Oh well. Lock up is solid, no blade play. Mirror polished blade is nice, but shows finger prints. Will hit it with some Never Dull.

Queen Large Stockman "Stag" handles D2 steel - Nice slip joint with quality steel that can take some serious use. Figured I should get something like this so my Grandfather doesn't disown me with all my tactical knifes. :) He used to collect slip joints, mainly Case. He doesn't understand my fascination with all my big folders.

Spyderco Calypso Jr Grey Handles - With all the excitement and hype I just had to get one too! Plus I have been thinking about something like a delica, and this is similar, I think. :) Good lock up, attractive design. I like the blade style, it should slice like hell. :) Can't wait to do a little re-profiling. I'll probably take this blade down to a 13 degree back bevel (or thinner) and a 15 degree edge (per side of course). Then I can touch it up on the Sharpmaker with the new Ultra Fine rods I also got.

Spyderco Native I s30v - Again, lots of people have been raving about this knife, and it lets me add some more s30v to my collection. :) It does feel good in the hand. I love the blade design. Great knife for the money!

I got some cheap neck knives to try out, CRKT F4, Falcon or something, and a Camillus Arclite.

Other than that, got the usual gadgety gifts. Also got a Sure Fire E2e Executive Elite which is really cool. :)

So who wants to come over to my house and play? :)
 
My HI Kobra arrived yesterday and it is still in the box.
gotta wait till the wife gets out of the shower before I can open it.
I told her the dog got it for me. we're allowed to do that...if you find something that you know that no one else is going to get you and you really want it, the "dog" gets it for you.
The wife is very curious.
