ordered a hen and rooster coke bottle jack. this will be my first german made knife and first stag handle so am quite excited to see how the quality will be on it.
I've wanted a #72 lockback forever, and this green jig proved too hard to resist:
Can't say i blame you

My Queen #51s came in yesterday. I really like this pattern from Queen. The Delrin Jack is a steal imho for a 2 blade jack in D2 at roughly $35 plus shipping. And I do love Queen's Curly Zebra!! Sure the edges need some attention (already done on the jack) but otherwise the f&f was pretty good. Not perfect but that's ok.

I want one too. The bone on your 72 is fantastic, Smithhammer. Great pic!

Actually, you do.
If it's any consolation, this is my second.
Yeah but it would be my 8th, not including another 3 I had and let go...

I'm starting to warm up to trappers...I don't know why. I cannot wait until it gets here.
It's funny, I think, that whenever I let myself look at buying a new GEC, all of the ones I want are usually gone and I have to pick through all of the leftovers that weren't wanted or not found yet. I feel like a treasure hunter, trying to find what gems remain hidden that were unclaimed. It makes finding that special blade that much more enjoyable.
Sometimes though, I hate being late on the draw, hehe.

At the point that you already have more than half a dozen, such details as "do I need another one?" shouldn't even be a concern.
