Whatcha got on order? (Traditional Knives Only)

A Gerber Silver Knight #7621. Drop Point and Sheepsfoot blades in Hitachi Gingami steel and stabilized wood.

I bought one of these Al Mar designed knives made by Sakai in Japan about a month ago for less that $20. I discovered that this knife rings all the bells for me, and proceeded to find one in nicer condition for a bit higher price. This one appears to be in pretty nice shape for a 25-40 year old knife which has seen some pocket time.

Favorite two blade shapes set at opposite ends as I like them to be, set on a single spring. The sheepsfoot sets low, so that it doesn't detract from comfort when using the master blade. Carbide containing stainless steel hardened to a Rockwell C of 58-60. Length closed is 3 1/4".

That sounds very interesting . I've always been fascinated by Al-Mar knives. Seemed to always be well designed, super sharp and if Al-Mar named, expensive [emoji15]

Curious what your thoughts about Al mar in general? I had a a small Al-mar folder, like peanut sized that I lost somehow.

Losing it again:) I have these on the way: A Diamond Jack in Chestnut, new round.
A 1983 (Think) Stag Case Senator pen, a 54 punch knife from 2008. These are bids on eBay I never thought would hold up.
I can stop any time:rolleyes:
 
These forums just keep enabling me......Stag Tiny Muskrat, I been resisting, Amber Tribal Lock left on their way to me. Tomorrow a 48 Improved Bloodwood will head out on the trail for my way. Waiting to pay for an African Blackwood Improved so's it can also hit the trail my way.............. I can also quit at any time...........My Foot...........:rolleyes:
 
We'll, the fates are sometimes kind.

My wife's fitbit died and she wanted to upgrade to the $150 dollar one. She's calling this her Mothers Day present.

Ever the negotiator, I found a Beer Scout in Ale Bone for $75 and said that half the cost of her fitbit would make for a great fathers day gift.

My awesome Mrs said that I should just go ahead and order it:)

I'm hoping to have it next week. I'm so stoked. I've wanted one of these all last year.
 
Thanks 007. I passed on them originally and just lucked into this one. Spur of the moment buy.

I'm still waiting on my ryu. That'll be summer time. Also just told tom ploppert that I want an ivory cattle knife. I'll have the small clip blade swapped for a pen blade though. It should be fine when done. Very excited since I met him a few months back in person.

Too keep me occupied until those arrive, I ordered a bark river city knife today. Himhawed about the slabs for awhile. Not many available now. Since I will be using it (I hope!) I decided to go with the blue c tek. Now I just need to find an adirondack sheath that knives ship free made to keep it and my custom handy!

Got a Zulu in marbled carbon fiber and Damasteel in the works from Andy Fannin. I can't wait to get it.
