Got both of these (and the flask) as early Christmas presents. The Case is from my brother, not bad for a non-knife guy. The Tree Brand is from my wife, ok I picked it out but its the thought that counts. I am really enjoying the beer barrel wood hanles. I have been wanting a whittler for a while. This my first German made Boker.
 
Today it's a early 70s Queen Serpentine Jack with imitation Delrin Winter Bottom Bone Scales, this was the first Queen I ever boughtm got it at a yard sale for a couple of bucks, I fell in love with the Pattern and scales so I've been lookin' for more.

Just got this yesterday. GEC #48 Trapper. It didn't come to sharp, but that was an easy fix. The pull is great, not to hard, but sturdy.

Sowbelly that's been "pimped" blades was ground
thinner and swedges made a lot better, Slicer!
Very pocket friendly with sunken joint!

I missed this post the other day. This is the knife that caused me to take the secondaries out of my sowbelly; a knife I refer to as the sowbelly experiment. I have to say that the single blade sowbelly makes a wonderful knife. I should drop that suggestion into the 2012 forum knife fray I suppose.

Anyway, I'm carrying that deep canyon bone swayback jack this week, except for Monday when the Texas jack took over the pocket.

This US-made Utica Large Stockman with green bone and 1095 blades.

Nicely made, especially for the price. Came sharper than a Queen, but definitely required sharpening out of the box. A pretty thing, for sure. I'll need to carry this a bit to see how she does.

It came Wednesday with a bit of grit in the joints, which is not unusual for a lot of knives. It's working out and starting to feel very smooth.

The main blade is excellent. Spring strength is about a 5 on a scale of 10. Just perfect to me. The spring strengths on the smaller blades are a bit less, maybe a 3.5. Not anemic, though.

I'll need to carry and use it a bit before I know what I really think about it. But, right now I'm pretty happy with it.
