What traditional knife did you buy today

I bought a Queen #70B Country Cousin (sod buster).

There is another thread floating around about soddies so I had to get one, and I'm a whore for Queens (that sure came out different than what I intended!).

I've been reading alot of good things about rough rider knives but have been holding out on buying one because they are made in china. I finally broke down and bought an old yellow whittler today. I rationalized my purchase by telling myself that case doesn't have that pattern in their regular line up.
 
CV Red Bone Muskrat. Awsome pattern. The Red Bone is beautiful. May be my new EDC. Modded one blade for utility other for food and clean stuff! Gander Mountian is going to make me go broke with all the new Case patterns (Rochester, NY)

No buying knives for me today. Gotta save up money to get the lady a ring for proposing. However, I'm currently working on sharpening up a Camillus Rough Cut Stockman. Edge geometry was a little wonky and I've never been too fond of the spey blade, but with a little bit of work, I've been able to get the main clip-point blade and the sheepsfoot blade nice, sharp and even. As for the spey, I'm working on turning it into a drop point, which shouldn't take much longer.

Thinking of keeping the clip blade for food, since it's stainless, the little spey as an all-around blade, and the sheepsfoot as a delicate, accurate blade.

Edit: I just got it all fixed up, so I decided to take a couple pictures. Doesn't look too amazing, cause I'm not very good with the camera, but it's very functional. Initially, I dropped the whole thing into a cup of vinegar to test and see if any of the blades were carbon steel. In doing so, I discovered that the spey and sheepsfoot are both carbon steel, whereas the clip is stainless. Afterwards came the sharpening and reshaping. Just gotta add a touch of oil to the pivot areas and it's done.

I like the second picture more simply cause you can see the light reflecting off the edge of that spey blade. Can't wait to take it testing. I've already used the sheepsfoot for scoring an orange to peel in a spiral fashion.

Yeah! You bought that before I could say, "I'll take it." Nice grab! :thumbup: I hate you,;) but my wife thinks you are a hero. :D

OK to stay on topic now.....2009 Forum knife, check is in the mail to Gus!

I kind of dig the fact that I have to wait for a few months, there is something to look forward to....
 
Not had anything for over a week, terrible!

BUT I have plans and dreams: Queen Cut Serpentine Jack-Amber Bone, S&M Improved Muskie in Winterbottom, S&M English Jack-Barehead, Bulldog Barehead Jack, CASE/Bose Norfolk in Amber Bone.

This lot is going to put me on Pauper's Street....but at least I'll have tool and works of art!
