Your newest addition:traditionals of course!

Mail call for today! the give away for Bob, from Paul, Ron, and Duncan, another 54 Big Jack, another one of those schatt and morgan cigars and one weird tear drop



 
Got this squatty little guy today. My first stag GEC. I'm not a huge stag guy. It's really pretty, but too thick for my taste sometimes. Cool little knife though. I have a wharnie 26 in jigged bone also. They are some nail breakers.

This new 72 came today .

Like the knife a lot !!! Every thing about it is fine , lock is smooth as silk , F & F is fine , but my judgement is still out on the PURPLE !!!

Harry, very nice knife:thumbup: I too was uncertain as to the color, thinking the darker the better. I like yours a lot.

Hey guys thought I would show you what just arrived in the mail today. I've never been much of a collector, more of a "looking for the one" kind of knife guy. Ended up selling a bunch of knives I owned and decided to have "the one" made. I ended up deciding on Mr. Willem O'Kelly to be the maker and I'm really glad I did. This is my new and hopefully last knife I buy (yeah right). It's a hair under 3" blade length slim-ish Frank (not the chunky Frank this is much more pocket friendly) in 1/6th in thick D2. It's his first ever Frank with a half stop. G10 bolsters, g10 and brass liners. Jimping on the blade with brut de forge. Now the best part is the handle material. It is American Walnut (jigged) from a tree that was planted in 1750 on none other than the property of the Daniel Boone homestead. The pull on this knife is amazingly strong but with the sunken joint incredibly easy to open, but when open the thing is almost a locking blade as it is incredibly hard to close to the half stop with one hand which I love. Anyway hope you guys like the pics! - Luke

Gorgeous purple on that 72. I'm still debating on one of those or a new Copperlock...decisions decisions...
 
Nice knife, LT. Willem is such s good guy too. I really enjoyed BSing with him when I ordered one from him. We ended up exchanging numerous long emails about politics here vs there and a little bit of everything else. You get some pretty awesome stamps on your package when it shows up too.

Thanks man. He really is a great guy. No problem answering endless questions and requests from me. We ended up talking quite a bit too once he saw I live in Syracuse and how there's a lot of knife making history here like Syracuse Cutlery co. And Camillus. Just a really cool nice guy and would recommend him to anyone looking for a custom. Great prices too.

Very cool knife. What's the significance of the notch at the tip end of the blade?

Thanks man! Some of his other knives had it and I thought it looked cool. I believe it's called a "razor nose" some straight razors have something similar. If it was a much lighter pull you could probably use it like one-armed notch.
 
Alright people mail call, I just got 10 of these bad boys and they threw in the tiny one in the plastic bag as an extra.

Thanks for the follow up. I just checked out his Instagram, he definitely has some unique pieces. I really like his style. You got one of the better ones I saw there. I love the jigged wood and the Scagel style nail nick.

Sirryacus, great pick up. One of those knives is a find, ten is unreal.
