Whatcha got on order? (Traditional Knives Only)

[sf fanatic]

Not the best pic but it was the one of a few my dealer sent me to choose from. Looks like a winner. ETA is the end of the week so pics and thoughts will follow.

I ordered one of those just now.

They say it's discontinued, so I thought I'd better grab one.

Mine sadly did not arrive with stonewashed blades. Still a great knife though.

My purveyor didn't specify the blade finish, so I won't be disappointed.
Anyway, it will be splotchy grubby grey before long.
I used this stainless one at the bar last night,

The bombshell dessert is a fist-sized ball of ice cream and oreos in a thick chocolate shell, and my caregiver served it with a spoon that would have curled around my fingers before it got to the ice cream.

Thought thread needed a kick along, so i took one for the team. Just been notified this is in the mail. Website photo from the seller.

Not a knife, but a necessity.
Just ordered a new 4"x1.5" soft/medium pocket Arkansas Stone with a plastic case.
Under $10 shipped.
Should be here next week or so. (yay. )

Will do.
Seller said "It will ship tomorrow." (10/08)
Should take about a week to get here? (uppity dayte 10/11/25: The Track King says "10/14 before 20:00 hrs". )
I told the house manager I ordered a rock that originated in Arkansas.
She said I would get it.

I just ordered a Case Barlow in Crimson peach seed bone. I wish Case had more carbon steel options for their current Barlow offerings.

Nice. Have you seen their latest Barlow release. ???

As promised. The soft/medium Atkansas Oil stone was in today's mail call. (Delivered Monday, 10/13, according to the tracking info. They don't check the mailbox every day.)

It and the bottle of Hoppy's #9 have been added to my EDC.

That is a nice looking stone. Enjoy using it.

Thanks. Been way many too many years since I had a good Arkansas pocket stone.

Delighted to have landed one of CASE's new Crossroads Sodbusters in Blue Denim Micarta. Funny as I don't usually like blue knives but this seems to really suit it. First new CASE for years too but no doubt it will take ages to arrive to the EU, what with ever changing tariffs...paperwork, import-tax, tariffs here the dysfunctional P.O. this end. I have to be strict with myself and put it out of mind....but

Not my picture obviously but one I found online.

Any Case Sodbuster is a good get.

Indeed it is I'm just concerned about all these international changes (from one day to the next....) and the impact it may take on delivery.

The perils of a knife collector/user.

Always wanted one of these so bit the bullet and snagged one as a Christmas present for myself. But with the prohibitive cost of buying internationally will probably be my last knife purchase. Just getting too expensive. Excuse my rant. . And have a good weekend everyone.

I just bought this pair of Utica Sportsman knives on Ebay, it looks like they just have some corrosion from being stored in their sheaths ( which are missing) in a damp environment , but don't appear to have been used much if at all.



I've got plans to modify / customize and rehandle both, but will probably gift one of them.
