Nice scores but I particularly like this one.
 
Not exactly new, arrived in 2007...but Glennbad removed the offending 2nd blade and gave me a wonderful single-blade stainless 73. YES!

These so far this week :D I went stockman crazy!!

Case 6375 1972, great condition, not the best F&F IMO, main clip pushed up against the liner, wobble on spade, gaps in liner. But hey, its still a cool knife!

Case 6318 SS current production, I LOVE the way case does this bone (amber?), the jigging and contrast is stunning. Like the 6318 in general but these newer ones seemm to lack the grove for the nick on the clip.

GEC 53 yellow rose Great knife. Previous owner ground down the kick on the sheepsfoot and as a result the secondary spring isnt flush when closed. IMO I'd prefer without this mod but still, great knife!

Shcrade walden 881 WOW! I am so pleased with this knife! It has 99% of the blade left and the F&F is GEC quality IMO, It's almost perfect really. No wobble, dead center clip, tight springs and liners perfect transition, great W&T, and the jigging in the bone is super crisp like a brand new knife!!!



Forgive my amateurist photography :)

Yes, its like a brand new knife but it some patina spotting, It still has the mirror finish on the blade. I dont know whether I should polish off the patina or not. I'll prolly end up taking it off after some time haha
 
Very nice! I used to have the same combo, I knew I would regret getting rid of it and I do! I love the fat spear point with that northfield long pull and swedge! A+
 
After months of eyeing it, I finally broke down and ordered a Schatt & Morgan #69 sheepsfoot Barlow:

I love ATS-34, so the steel was an easy sell, but this knife also ticks a lot of other boxes for me: one of my favorite patterns, one of my favorite blades, my first long match-striker pull (more knives should have these!), big ol' bolster stamp, lovely swedged single blade, and a type of jiggging (Winterbottom) that's new to my collection.

The first thing I did with it was cut a nice big piece out of my finger. :eek: No stitches needed, so no worries. At least I know the blade is nice and sharp! :D

With the exception of a gap between the bone and the liner on the pile side, where the bone is actually curved up slightly from the liner, fit and finish is quite good. Pull is a pinchable 4, nicely centered blade, great walk and talk, a half-stop, and a nice "slim yet stocky" feel in hand -- markedly slimmer than a traditional two-blade Barlow, but not a slender knife by any means. I expect to enjoy this one.
 
Had the 73 in my pocket today. Finally home from work relaxing and opened my two newest additions. Shouldn't have any problem opening a beer tonight.

This A. Wright & Son stag senator that I was lucky enough to win in a recent R.c.s GAW arrived this week. :)
Lots to like about this knife, IMHO!!
