Your newest addition:traditionals of course!

Just got this sucker from the pass around box!!! Had one just like it and moved it along. Happy to have another.

Midsummer is a big holiday here still-despite the govt. despicably moving it from the actual day to a Friday some years ago in their ceaseless appeasement of corporate dictates..Thursday I receive a customs notification only I hadn't ordered anything, didn't recognize the sender's name and it was from the US. Went online to clear the parcel and waited with some anxiety over the week-end holiday. Monday afternoon package comes through the door (which is unusual these days, you normally have to collect from the supermarket or from a locker. )

Inside is an amusing card and a Redbone CASE Stockman 087 pattern with the unusual Clip, Spey, Pen arrangement. I was shocked yet delighted and then spent some time sharpening it and rubbing it down as I do with all new 'oldies'- beautiful knife and a real piece of altruism too. The thoughtful presence behind this was ephsea ephsea and I'm really grateful to him for his gesture :cool: It is said that things go in threes, well Monday was the Red Letter Day and not just Redbone, soon after a PM alerted me that another Forumite had been able to secure me a knife I can't get in the EU, bit later another PM offered me a knife so I could complete a trade I'd been working on.

Don't know what I've done to deserve all this...but I'm revelling in it let me tell you :D

The photo is poor but this small Stockman and the thought behind it is rich.

Will,
That is a wonderful surprise. The jigging, coloring and blade combination are spot on. Congrats and well done Fred.🤩

Very nice, Will. Case has the best red bone followed by some of Roberson strawberry bone that I have seen. Congrats on the new knife and kudos to ephsea ephsea . Very thoughtful.

You deserve it because you’re a great guy, Will. One of the stalwarts on this forum.
