First order placed in quite a while. I've got two knives on the way. First and the one I've been wanting terribly for a while is a Northfield 73 single blade, burnt stag. Dealer has picks of both sides so I see the scales aren't all that well matched but they look fantastic anyways. It's not the new run with the long pulls, it's a 2011 with the standard nick, which I generally prefer on the 73 from the pics I've seen. Can't wait for this one to arrive, and as long as it's not a bear trap I could very well become my favourite knife. Time will tell.
Second knife is a Queen #51 dogleg jack, winterbottom bone delrin. Didn't realize it is actually delrin until just a couple of minutes before pressing the order button but in the photo it looks fantastic and I like delrin so it's all good, and the knife was a bit under $40 so no complaints here. It will be my first Queen and first D2 knife. I'm looking forward to it, but I kind of wish I hadn't ordered it because I was originally going to get a sheepsfoot EO 15 in rust red to go with the 73, but I forgot that was the plan when I made the order. I guess I might have to hurt my bank account a bit further this week, we'll see.
I reeeaaallly want that 73 to get here!
