What knife did you buy for your own self for Fathers Day?

I always wait to see if I'm getting a knife for any given holiday; this year I got a new grill instead of a knife, and I'm not complaining. Still, Case is making that Stockman in CV with a punch replacing the spey...that knife might be coming my way before the evening is up.
 
Becker Knife and Tool BK9. Been wanting one for a long time now, but keep buying other models. Should get here in a day or three.
 
Opinel 8, and a Mora 2. Been meaning to try both, and they cost me a total of 25$.

I'd been looking at a combination birthday/father's day knife for a couple of weeks and hadn't been able to find anything that was just right until I ran across something on the knifemaker's for sale forum that I had been hunting for quite some time - a Loveless style fixed blade City Knife. It was a great way to end a great day!

Nice looking little knife, popedandy. I carry one made by another maker, and find it a real handy little blade.
 
Congrats on the Courthouse whittler! I love that pattern, it's very pocket friendly.

While the Peanut was to be my Father's Day present to myself, I had also placed an order for my first semi-custom fixed blade at the beginning of May. While I was catching some crappie, pickerel and largemouth, the postman brought my new Blind Horse Camp MUK Nessmuk for me. Must have come Saturday, if I knew it was there I might have made the 50 mile trip from the lake to pick it up and bring it back. :D As it is, I'll enjoy it on our next Troop camping trip to Ricketts Glen state park.

Oh yeah, that is sweet, congrats and Happy Father's Day!
 
Just a quick reminder (and some devastating meakologic) .
If you're interested- Australian Fathers Day is the first Sunday of September.
Thats a fact. Do with it what you will.
Oh BTW I'm just waiting on the postie to bring my Case Black Saddlehorn that I got myself in honour of all you American fathers.
I hope you will do the same in September.
As I say to my beautiful wife and the two fantastic sons she has given me -"Hey-everyday is fathers day to me.MWOOOHHAUUUHAHH haaahaaa...ha ...ahemm"
 
Got my Father's Day gift at the BLADE show. Picked up a Puukko by the Jones brothers with a beautiful spalted walnut burl handle and a Victorinox Red Alox Micro-Farmer (Cadet size) from SwissBianco.
 
Well, one day about a week ago I saw the Case Sparxx knives on ebay and thought they looked nice. So I ordered the Medium Stockman for myself. Got to say, when it arrived I was a little disappointed in it. The white scales, which is what attracted me to it in the first place, look very plastic in person. (yeah I know, they're synthetic). Plus, while the blades were sharp, they were not shaving sharp like many of the Case knives I've bought in the past.

It was also a little smaller than I remember the medium stockmans being. I usually carry a larger pocket knife. Maybe I'll get the Large Trapper next???

But in the end, it's still a Case and I'm happy I own it... :) :thumbup:
