Whatcha got on order? (Traditional Knives Only)

I mostly am into midtechs: Ti Framelocks and OTF autos. I cannot remember the last time I had a traditional folder - maybe as a kid? But I have felt the urge for an old timey knife for a while and have browsed many pages of Case slippies to find something that appealed to me to try out. I have admired the look of the sod buster for quite a while and finally came upon the SMKW Kiwi Green bone handle Case knives, and they had that on the Sod Buster Jr, and it finally clicked that it was the old timey knife for me to break the ice with! So I ordered one of those tonight. The plus side of having that around is that as a <3 in. non-locking knife it would be handy to have in the event I travel out of my state to a more restrictive area. So it might prove useful. I am interested to try a old style slipjoint and pair it with some of my high tech modern knives.

Great choice, they are sturdy little knives, and that is a fantastic color that you have chosen. I'm sure you will like it. Show pics when in your hand.
 
Not my picture but I'm waiting for this little gem to show up.

Lost control a little bit of the wallet restraint, and have a single-bladed Case Sowbelly in CV incoming. I've been very interested in this pattern for a while and am looking forward to trying it out.

I love single bladed knives and the Sowbelly is one of the most comfortable knives in my hand. mine is red Delrin, but I'm thinking of getting a yellow one.

It's great in the hand, I absolutely agree with you there. I'd love to get one of the ebony ones, or a jigged bone, but the synthetic yellow is hitting the spot for me at the moment. Is your red delrin a single bladed version?
 
just ordered these 2 so I can store them on my Road Glide....

1) Harley Davidson branded Case Mini Trapper with Cap lifter...much more affordable then bidding on a beer scout knife
2) Gurkha Folding Cigar Scissors..was restocking my stogies and saw this neat accessory in Cigar International

yes my Sowbelly is single bladed, a nice jigged bone one would be nice also.
 
Well, I thought I was done buying. :rolleyes:

Recently ordered...

a couple smaller lesser expensive SAKs in a style or color I didn't already have...

Case single-blade Barlows in handle materials I didn't have, seeing as new ones seem to be getting harder to find (is Case putting the Barlow back into the vault?)...

and one of the small Boker Castle Wood Barlows before they disappear.

Sheesh.
