Your newest addition:traditionals of course!

Thanks, I think I know where it was advertised for that special price...the ad looks like it was deep/navy blue and yours came out lighter but still a looker;)

I got smothered in Ebony with yesterday's mail call. The top two (#15 and #68) were recovers. The #15 had some tired thin bone and the Pony Jack had Nifebrite Acrylic (not a fan).
The bottom one is a new prized piece for my collection. A fine gift from a friend hat I've been searching for quite some time to add. #66 Teamsters Jack, a Charlie Campagna HJ6. Sweet!!!!!

Buck 303 in classic black. I think pics are not necessary.
►Came very sharp. I fussed with the edge as I always do with every new knife, but really did not need to do so.
►Springs are almost dead flat in open and closed position. Just a tad off. I slightly rounded the edges of one of the springs and now I can't really feel any uneveness between the springs unless I concentrate on it. (learned that trick looking at some of my Case knives.)
►Needed a bit of oil, but once oiled and worked a bit it developed a nice snap to the blades. Call it a 4 on spring strength, which IMO is about right for a small knife.

Aesthetically I think I prefer flat ground blades, but in use the current "edge 2000" concave grind actually works better. And the famous Buck/Paul Bos heat treat for 420HC can't be beat.

Good bang for less than 30 bucks shipped.

Congrats, Frank! :thumbup: Photos may not be necessary, but they're often sufficient. ;) Great deal on your 303! :cool:

This was waiting for me when I got home today.

Scoring this one definitely takes the remaining sting out of not getting a Snakewood Viper.

It'd better be. It already kicked the 'yotes out of my watch pocket yesterday and today the Beagle and my Osage 'yote are sharing the right hip. Settle down, fellas! I wonder if the Beagle and the camo 'yote were yipping at each other the whole time they were in transit to me... :D
 
Yesterday a Cola jig bone Beagle arrived at my door and already i love it, after my disappointment with the Coyote i was a bit worried , whereas the Coyote felt fiddly in my hand the Beagle sits just fine and of course the spear point blade is for me more useful than the wharncliffe on the Coyote. I would describe the Coyote as a vest pocket gents knife with a pinchable blade, while the Beagle is a watch pocket knife for tackling most daily tasks, pretty much the way the guys on the Peanut Cult strand post about their adventures ,i was a Peanut fan and carried either a "yeller" or chestnut bone cv as a worry stone/edc for a long time , but i have to say this GEC Beagle is hands down a better knife than any Peanut i have ever owned although i always thought those A J Russell Japanese made Peanuts looked good , but the cost of importing one into the UK made them to expensive for me. Anyhow time will tell but i can not see anything knocking this Beagle out of my pocket anytime soon.

The way I see it, the Beagle is an excellent general purpose small knife (the coping/sheepsfoot blade in that size is eminently useful and not often duplicated on other knives) while the Coyote is basically a scalpel and an excellent cardboard/clamshell pack slicer. I've got one of each in my pockets today and I've already found tasks that the 'yote excels at when the Beagle's smaller sheepsfoot might not be up to the challenge, while the Beagle's master spear makes quick work of things I wouldn't even consider a Coyote for cutting.

At that size, how can you not have one of each handy? :)

Drat !!! Now i will have to start carrying my Coyote as well as the Beagle in case i come across a clamshell package. I guess i did not think the blade uses through properly. But as you say at their size it is no problem to carry both.

The triskelion display was almost a swastika, had I bought a Jubillo handled 92.

Haha. :D I remember someone posted a group shot of four two-blade #85s a while back laid out in a similar manner, and it made me chuckle because to me it looked an awful lot like a swastika (which I'm sure was unintended).
