Your newest addition:traditionals of course!

Couple of old Craftsman knives (circa mid-1970's); this past Saturday an American Eagle Series folding hunter (two blade with ACA Edge, stainless steel - possibly made by Camillus or Schrade for Sears). Today an ACA Edge stainless steel lockback - seems to be a Schrade LB-7. OH

The stag handled knife has the strongest spring I ever encountered on a new knife. I'm not entirely sure how to express this in English but the strong spring adds to a feeling of stoutness and inspires confidence while handling the knife.

Two great-looking knives Mark :thumbup: Interesting to see the fat-cut Otter stag. I also like a strong pull :thumbup:

Thanks Jack! It's the Otter 166HH.

I really like the fat stag. The pins aren't flush with the scales, but that doesn't bother me while handling the knife.
 
One Craftsman up the page a bit.....deserves another. Used, but not abused. Arrived with some tarnish/freckling. Even a few spots, but I like it. Pull on this little girl is mighty stiff, but I am guessing some use, and a few more drops out of that 40 year old tin of Outers Gun Oil will smooth her right out, and lighten her up some. Yeah, the blades scuff each other a bit (Newbie here - y'all probably have a term for that!), but I really like it. I hope these old knives aren't addicting.....

Got this peach of a Camillus Electrician's Knife in today. One of the best examples that I could find, frankly.

Just acquired this trio of vintage Schrade Cut Co celluloid handled folders. I know dangerous :confused: (requires special storage protocols) but I just couldn't help myself they are so beautiful and in such high grade condition for Cell folders! The top one is a copper swirl slant bolster jack, next one is a Christmas tree pen and finally a Tortoise shell gunstock jack.

Picked up these two old barlows recently. Once they were cleaned up and oiled a little they're nice little knives.
 
Thanks Paul, jrawk and Gevonovich for your nice remarks on my recently acquired Schrade Cell folders!

Atiger those are a couple of gorgeous vintage Barlows that are not easy to find! You should add them to the thread "What Makes A Good Trditional Barlow?" Nice photos, Lloyd
