Whatcha got on order? (Traditional Knives Only)

[sailfish]

After thinking about it a bit, I think that knife would look distinctive in British Racing Green.

Color is probably way more important to me than it should be.

IMHO, once we get past the knife (or more) we need for tasks we do and start getting knives we want, aesthetics becomes a driver. I don't think there is anything wrong with that. Looking forward to see what you decide.

Boxwood, eh? I wasn't expecting that. Premium steel. Is it the nitrogen treat 14c28, or not?

I have knives in ebony, rosewood, desert ironwood, African blackwood, olive wood, beechwood, juniper, curly birch, etc. I considered another olive wood, it's so beautiful. I also like pistachio, walnut, and many other woods. I know boxwood is not everyone's cuppa tea, but I love it. And it's very traditional! Anyway, I've been looking at it for months, and just ordered it tonight. The only things I was wavering on was the size: the Pocket (10 cm) or the Nature (11.5 cm), and whether to get my initials chiseled on the backspring (before the heat treat). I went with the larger knife and the initials.
As for the steel, it's whatever they use. I'm not an expert, but I love the 14C28 on my Laguiole. Probably my favorite steel.

Well, I promised myself I wasn't going to buy any new knives, except the Forum knife.....
Famous last words!
I've been on a small fixed blade kick for awhile, and have been looking at what Boker has to offer. I picked up a Nessmi, which I really like but then the Pry Mini 1674 caught my eye. 5 1/4" Amboina and N690 by Bohler. It's a Jesper Voxnaes collaboration. I think the belt sheath is what pushed me over the edge on this one. Individually Serialized, 343 made. I had a hard time finding one!

 

[JohnDF]

Oh Yeah!!! That belt sheath is fantastic!

 

[Cutfinger]

Yep, I see why you like the sheath. That is really smart looking, clever design, and nice material and workmanship. Gee Whiz!

Um, nice knife too, different but cool

 

[Cutfinger]

I have a Remington R103 Ranch Hand, on the way. I am not even sure about the handle material, or the size exactly. It might be just over four inches long, or a bit over three and a half inches. It aught to be a good solid knife, a jumbo jack in hand feel anyway. Camillus made I think... Anyone who knows who made these, please chime in.

 

[t.willy]

Well everybody complained so much about the Beer & Sasage knife I'm sure it's gonna be a huge hit. So I got one on order just as soon as I could.

 

[t.willy]

Sorry double post.✌

It’s usually tough to find a knife that comes with a great sheath but doesn’t look so with that one!

Should have qualities as a back-scratcher at least

Well, that was colossally disappointing. Apparently Case delrin doesn't take dye at all. Oh well. Nice knife regardless.

Ah well, would have been interesting to see. Enjoy!

After a while of waiting and watching, I was finally able to get a deal on a GEC 142216 in Ivory bone covers. It isn't quite the darker jigged bone that I have been looking for, but now I have an excuse to buy yet another knife!
And then just today I happened to stumble coincidentally into a drop of the 33 conductors - though I missed out on the stag, I was able to secure a brown jig bone example!
I prefer smaller knives, as they fit in the pocket better (and adhere to my local metropolis' goofy knife laws), so I can't wait to get these in hand!

Did it look anything like this?

That'll be the one! Can't wait to get it in hand, for sure!

Woo hoo! Looking forward to this Mudbug.

In my seemingly never-ending search for the perfect traditional, I've recently been becoming infatuated with the Case Mini Copperhead. One wharncliffe, one bellied blade, and on a single spring so it's super thin. I fell in love with the blue lagoon color when I saw it but much to my dismay it was discontinued years ago. But after lots of hunting I was able to track one down NIB. Got my fingers crossed that this will be the one finally.
