Whatcha got on order? (Traditional Knives Only)

I'm currently (in order to better participate here :)), trying to get one of my younger friends over here to help me figure out how to do just that.

Gonna get a new phone (have a blackberry now) soon too, which might make it easier to do as well.

Sorry to be such a tease, I promise I'm not a big fibber. :o

Not a problem buddy, good luck to you with posting up the pics.
 
I ordered and received it in December, but I've not carried it yet. I never said anything in this thread about it, so I will now that I am about to carry it.

Mike Latham had a very nice price on a Case Amber bone CV stockman with Clip, Sheepsfoot and Punch blades. I'm not certain I need the punch, but I don't much use the spey blade on my stockman knives, so I thought I'd give the punch a try.

Borrowed Mike's pic.

I just ordered a Case G-10 mini trapper and matching G-10 seahorse whittler. I have quite a few traditional in a wooden presentation box upstairs along with some silver coins, pocket watches and other family things that will go to my son when he is old enough but I can't bear getting any of them out to use so I decided to pick up a couple "modernized" traditionals to start carrying.

I saw that knife on Mikes site also. It looked nice but I can't purchase anything in December for myself.

Well I've a few more 25s on the way. I'm a bit of a sucker for them. A snake wood barlow, a couple of spear main jacks, another Barlow and at long last a wharncliffe jack. :)

Edit: oh and a sheepfoot / pen jack

Shipped this morning Paul. ;)
 
I've got the esnyx highly modified GEC #15 with African Pink Ivory wood scales on the way to me. Quite excited to see this one in person.
 
I've been wanting one of these for some time now - this one is dressed in dark curly maple and red micarta liners...

I just placed an order from Gunstock Jack for my first GEC - a Northfield Che Chen Rosewood #47 Viper. Looking forward to adding that to my rotation.

That Swisschamp sounds awesome! I keep fantasizing about one with really gnarly stag covers.

I am digging the hardwood scales on my SwissChamp, definitely worth the purchase + I like the magnifying lens!

The extra large Zermatt sheath Victorinox sells is a must!
Fits 1-1/2" belt easily

That Swisschamp looks fantastic! I had a standard one, once upon a time, and managed to somehow lose it.

It is so loaded with useful stuff I can hardly stand it! :D

My bought my first-ever GEC from Gunstock Jack (whom I 'discovered' before he became a member here at Bladeforums). A fine tradition in itself. Sounds like you've chosen a beaut. :)

Portable toolbox, that. I currently use mine often as an 'every too I could possibly need while still at my desk' item, pliers included (I love the pliers). Thanks for the heads up about the sheath.

The finer handle materials (or is it just their relative price? ;)) somewhat belie the straightforward rusticity that is the primary appeal of Opinel knives (to me), but then, the woods are fine. I am grateful for my Olivewood No. 6.

Pmew, I have ceased feeling sorry for you in regards to #25s. :eek: I can't wait to see your new 'uns in your array. :cool:

Me, I'm some months out from a small piece that's beckoned to me since I first spied one here. I suddenly (finally?) decided to tie up loose ends, as t'were, and end the haunting while I have the time and means. Plus, I know one of my sons will be thrilled with it once I'm done playing and it becomes his.

Hint: it's made of metal, and the cutty side is sharp.

Upon seeing this photo i went straight on the Bay and found the same pouch at a good price, i already keep my Swiss Champ in the basic black pouch with velcro fastener,ugh hence i never carry it, when my new Zermatt arrives i may start to carry it. Thank you..

After reading Gary R. Graley's comprehensive review of the the Le Thiers Chambriard Compact folder, I thought that was a knife for me. I love the bright shiny GEC's and Cases. But , I am OCD about polishing the blades and bolsters every time I handle them. The satin blade and bolster of the Chambriard will allow me to carry it without the obsessive polishing. And... I really like the looks of the knife:
