Your newest addition:traditionals of course!

The markings on the bolster look like your Barlow was made in Germany. Cool. The bone scales look really good.
Cleaned up a bit and laying out with a few new rust bath friends

That Ulster is gorgeous!! I need to dump some money on getting a great condition one like that. All my pre 70's knives have blade lose and I would really like a nice example like that. It's hard to drop 50-100 on a vintage knife when I can get a brand spankin new GEC for similar price though!

Thank you KP, it's passed through a couple hands on here and I agree, this one is very tight though on both blades with exceptional snap/walk and talk (better than some of my GEC's ;) They're definitely hard to find with full blades but they're out there.

I've got a 30's E C Simmons keen cutter dogleg jack, and my god that thing walks and talks better than any knife I have handled and has a solid 8 pull on both blades, too bad the previous owner like to sharpen with a belt grinder :(
 
I'm a sucker for a stockman. This #82 Burnt Stag Dixie Stockman was just removed from the tube.

tdkfm, that Bower German Barlow is super cool; I'd never heard of that brand before, but it looks classic. Congrats!! :cool::cool:

This Linder/Klaas.

Congrats on the new "multi-purpose knife", HFinn! :thumbup::thumbup: I'm not a big fan of corkscrews on pocketknives, but I have to admit it looks very good on your Linder/Klaas!

Whoa, what wonderful wood, Tim; triple congrats! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: Each one has a lot going for it. Others have already mentioned how special that old Ulster is, I think the 85 2-blade teardrop jack is absolutely iconic, and if that houndstooth is the one you showed recently on a Cape Cod fence post, its grain is spectacular! :cool::D

Thank you for all the kind words GT. It is indeed, the Ulster is actually a bit chunkier than the GEC 85 as well. Beautiful snap and the the houndstooth is just that one. I'm enamored with the grain of it and the snap. 55's were definitely a great pattern.

I've got a 30's E C Simmons keen cutter dogleg jack, and my god that thing walks and talks better than any knife I have handled and has a solid 8 pull on both blades, too bad the previous owner like to sharpen with a belt grinder :(

Haha that's the downside to old blades. Still though, it must look ok in the closed position ;) Sorry to hear that though. Doglegs are one of my favourite patterns
 
Love that Ulster, Tim. Really nice. Some of my new ones from the past week.
Russell Barlow. Easy pull of 4. Soft snap. Nice stag.


Wostenholm I-XL. The opposite of the Russel. Pull of 8-9 on both blades. Walk and talk of a bear trap. Nice stag.

Great score! I have really been wanting both an 81 and 82...I have been trying to hold out for one on the exchange but they dont really come up much. I cant even remember ever seeing an 81 om the exhange. There is a stag 81 on an auction site right now NIT that I may end up WAY overpaying for because I am pretty desperate for one....

The 82 just looks so classy and slim for a big knife!
 
73 off the exchange. first 73, I love it! STRONG pull 7.5-8 just the way I like it and flush at half stop :thumbup:

Childress neck knife, OMG, AMAZING! I am very pleased, this sucker is going to be on me 24/7 for quit some time and the belt clip means I can easily go from belt carry to pocket carry!

 
Just got back from the Meadowlands Flea Market in Jersey where I scored this for $5.00!
Not bad I think.

^^^Yeah, not too bad, I think. :) Great condition, great color, great price, classic Schrade!
