Whatcha got on order? (Traditional Knives Only)

I pre-ordered a Great Easter EZ Open Jack, 3-5/8", with ebony the other day. It is just like this one, but with ebony scales:

Perhaps a typo but I'm pretty sure the knife in that pic is right at 3 inches closed.
 
I think Smaug is talking about the #85 in Ebony?

I got my #48s and #68 this week. Top to bottom, Church Glass Acrylic, Crushed Seashell Acrylic, Interior Ram's Horn, and Kryptonite Acrylic.

Yeah, maybe I picked the wrong one. I couldn't link the pic in the original, and I can't post a link. If it turns out I'm wrong, and it is 3" closed, then that is fine too! 3" is a great size for pocket carry.

Just today, I scored this Kamp-King scout knife on ebay. US-made Imperial from 1975. Not the greatest quality, I think, but I bought this one because the $56 Remington one I bought (and just mailed back today) was a piece of junk, and this one is exactly like the one my grandpa had when I was a lad. For my first pocket knife, he gave me a smaller imperial with the same jigged plastic scales, and the "large" clip blade is probably 1-1/2" long, and the small pen blade is 1" or less.

Since this is a completed auction, I think I'm allowed to post a direct link:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...27&ssPageName=ADME:L:OU:US:1123#ht_1149wt_895

I must have looked at 50 of these, trying to find this exact model that met all of the following criteria:

  • No broken scales
  • No rust (staining is fine)
  • Bail intact
  • No broken blade or implements
  • Proper description from someone who knows a minimum about knives (i.e. not "I bought this at an estate sale and don't know anything about knives, buy at your own risk." I HATE those descriptions.)
  • Small jigging, not large (Pop's had the small jigging)
  • No sharpening jobs done on a grinder
  • No marks from trying to clean the knife up on a wire wheel of a bench grinder
  • All-up price <$20
  • Decent photos

I'm pretty stoked to get this. He mailed it out, or at least printed the label today, so I should have it by mid-week.

Edit: Here are the seller's pix:

I just ordered another AG Russell pinched peanut. This one in Chinese Quince, to go along with the mammoth ivory one I've had for a couple of months. Man, are they ever nice.

Hi, I'm new to the forum, I carry a traditional folder almost every day. With warmer weather coming, I wanted a small folder to carry when I wear shorts. Should be receiving a Case CV peanut in chestnut bone tomorrow.

Welcome to BladeForums in general and to the Traditional Forum in particular.
Lots of peanut fans here. Make sure you post pics when you get your peanut.
 
Congrats on the Peanut buzp, mine arrived Friday and it has been in my pocket every day since.

Today I arranged for an ebony Tidioute White Owl to begin its flight south. I can hardly wait for it to land!
