Your newest addition:traditionals of course!

Got this one in yesterday :) A new to me Vic Alox Cadet in Autumn Orange :cool:

I like it, but so does she, this is my 1st Cadet and my wife has claimed it for her purse :eek::D:eek::D

Thats a really nice color on that Cadet Ron ... not sure that one is available in Aussie.....must check.
Just picket up one myself in Black... a great little EDC size. (I hope mine doesn't meet the same fate as yours - although "Happy wife happy life";))

No, I sold it to a buddy that had expressed interest when he saw it. I'm still on the fence with this new one. I'm so used to sheepsfoot blades, I feel weird carrying it lol.

Just think of it this way.....You need different blades for different jobs, that way it justifies more knives......
 
Thanks Ron. I always felt the smooth ivory bone was a classic cover material. Very happy to have scored this one from Dan. :thumbup:
 
Yes, a really fine carry that one Bob. :thumbup: Have a Clip version but I believe your Spear is the better of the two blades on a Barehead. Why did I get the wrong knife as usual??????:eek::D:D

This Fontenille-Pataud was originally hafted with Walnut, but unfortunately, a member of the household put it in the sink to let it soak...:eek::barf: Naturally it wrecked the scales, they swelled up and looked grotesque. So back to the menders for a new suit but this time a dark horn-tip. The pile side does have some lighter streaking. Gilles' group at FP fixed it up beautifully and I got it back in under a week, really impressive work too. This one has satin finish on the bolster and blade, you can order polish if you prefer. It's also a very clever lock-back Laguiole, so easy to open but very secure and has a blade stop so, no fear of damaging the edge like on other French knives. I'm very pleased. Just wish GEC would fix up knives when you offer to pay them.....:rolleyes:

Regards, Will

This one came in today. My wife made a deal with me that if I quit dipping that she would match whatever I spent on Copenhagen for a few weeks and I could put it towards a knife. It took a few days to decide between stag and blue camel bone.

I'd say you made a good choice. On the knife too! :)
 
Rough Rider 858 "Small Trapper". Looks more like a mini Barlow, to me. 2 7/16 inches closed, Clip and Spey blades are both 1 7/8 inches. Imitation tortoise shell covers.
Nice knife. I like it better than I expected.
