Thanks for your input, Will! :thumbup: Probably the main difference between your and my whittling skills is that you recognize your limitations and I'm too clueless to recognize mine....GT I'm fairly incompetent at 'whittling' slicing up splinter sticks is satisfying enough for be but I do reckon this tiny Puukko would be a grand whittler, in any hand (except mine)
Regards, Will
I look forward to the comparison, nugun!Another of the Rough Riders that came in, this week. Just in time to have Queen release their #99.It'll be fun to compare them.

:thumbup:Congrats, Tim; that's a magnificent pick-up! :thumbup::thumbup:
Congrats, Ron; splendid knife and the matching pocket slip is a special treat! :thumbup:My latest acquisition from the exchange
...
I bought this one before going into the hospital. Got to introduce Stew to the rest of the gang.
...
I was away most of Saturday and Sunday for a niece's wedding, and was elated to return and find out that you had made it home, Bob! I hope each day gets a little bit better for you. Couple of marvelous knives you picked up, congrats!!I also had this surprise waiting when I got home. Derrick, you're a heck of a guy. :thumbup:
...
Very thoughtful and generous gift, Derrick; here I sit with another BF-induced grin on my face. True fact!!This pair arrived Friday. What is commonly referred to as a "good knife day", to say the least!
...
Either one of those knives by itself would make it a GREAT knife day; both on the same day is stupendous!! :thumbup::thumbup:

I got four new ones to show. First is a Canal Street Swell Center I bought from Sketch32. Second is a 72 on black micarta. Third is a Queen camp knife in feathered Buffalo horn. And last is a Northwoods 15 in red saw cut bone. Thanks Derrick for helping me out with this one.

Nice additions!! All great knives. Good job on the photos, interesting background.:thumbup::thumbup:
How do you like the "pinchability" of the 72 and Broadway?

I got a 1989 Ka-Bar Humpback Jack in the mail today:
I've never seen this pattern outside of Ka-Bar knives from the '80s (which, given my recent entry into this hobby, doesn't mean much!), and it resonated with me as soon as I saw it. I love the pointed bolsters, the pronounced hump, and the warmth of the jigged bone.
I can't tell this knife is 26 years old -- it looks brand new. It feels great in hand (no hotspot from the hump, my one concern when buying it), and fit and finish are excellent all around.

Great looking silhouette to the humpback Dadpool, reminds me of a more angular dogleg jack.
The clip on the Case Classic Moose is looks like a beaut SAK Guy. Really crisp points on both of those.

The 72 can be pushed out far enough that a wrist flick will open it. the Broadway doe not need the easy out cut to be pinched. But, it does allow for a better grip on the blade. The easy out also feels good in the hand when using the blade. A nice spot for you finger to fall into.

Thanks, black mamba and Ryouchijtx!
Are those buffalo horn covers? Whatever they are, that Scout looks great!

What's that left one? Nothing like I've ever seen before. Really gorgeous. Some hints from a doctor's knife.A couple I picked up recently...
Do you have more pictures if it?
Thanks, Gevonovich.
GEC #89, named River Boat Gambler (great name!). It does sorta remind of a doctors or a fruit knife. I'll snap a couple more shots when I get a chance...
Superb name for a knife. I'll be looking forward to it.
