Used the Buck Solitaire for work and to unbox my new ZT 0777
Though happy with the ZT, the more I use the buck, the more I fall in love with traditional folders and clip point blades.
Ever since the buck, I haven't had any urges to buy modern, but been drooling over slip joints.
 
...so two of my HUBERTUS knives are with me today: 10.300.HH.00 (3 1/8 " closed) + 13.334.HH.00 (4.5 " closed)

Those are fine knives indeed Old Boy, nice to have stainless with such good stag too.

Thanks, Will
 
Thanks Will, i'm a friend of stainless (rostfrei) blades, because i don't like the nasty taste of carbon blades if i prepare/eat my snacks.
 
Old Boy, nice. I think the Germans get the best stag for their knives and everyone else must get the left overs. ;)

Don't think so, but i know, the stag of the bigger one is out of the 1950th, and during former times it was much easier to get original "Sambar" stag from India. Today it's nearly impossible. So the newer production knives all over the world are not that "sweet" like my oldies of the 1950th.

Until two years ago i bought american knives only, with micarta scales, like the great Bob Loveless used it for his fantastic hunters, but since i got my first NOS HUBERTUS from the 50th, i'm absolute fascinated of this wonderful Sambar material of our grandfathers :)

Because i live only a few minutes away from the old factories, where all these wonderful (Solingen) knives are made, it's that easy, to search for the best... and find them :)

My feelings 100%. Contrary to what some may say, I don't find the carbon taste wears off even after long term patina, it just wrecks fruit&cheese!
