I love those old Puma's! Nice one, Gev.

For me it's this Ohta pair today.

Today, this little knife bounced out of the mail truck and into my hands.
It's one of the Queen City economy-range knives that Queen put out a few years back, in black or yellow jigged delrin and "wine wood" (lol). This is my first gunstock, and my only "Yeller" knife, aside from my grandfather's old shell-wrap fishing knife (which doesn't get carried...).
For a $35 knife, this one is a real home run. Half stops with springs that are purt-near flush in all 3 positions, amazing walk & talk, no gaps or bends, beautifully ground blades with drawn swedges on both sides, 1095 steel, pile side pen - and a nice large one at that... Even came out of the box with a serviceable edge on both blades! I'm pumped!!!
She may not win any beauty pageants, standing next to a nice wood or bone, but darn nice in my eyes. Super-duper value, great bang for the buck.
Thanks to Mike at CK.net! :thumbup:

Weather was a bit gloomy today, but brightened by my congress jack, coffee and the pipe gifted me by a very kind member here, thanks Alex.
Hey, Paul, you're very welcome! Glad to see it arrived in one piece! :thumbup:
Looks good with that congress jack. And, I hope it smokes well for you, for years to come!
 
Just got my Bull Nose over the weekend (black delrin). It's one fantastic knife. I really like the micarta handles - they look great on this knife. Must see if I can locate one for myself.

A new run of micarta 71s are available at collectorknives.

I've got my trusty 72 with me at the office today!ImageUploadedByTapatalk1399316278.007884.jpg

I really like that small 'un Gary. Ohta has not only real skill but versatility too. I'm hoping to get another one of his knives later this year, a Japanese traditional style.

Thanks, Will
 
Just showed up today and I am impressed. Couldn't be happier. I just need to get it outside for some real photos.
