Just got a Chinese Buck stockman in wood and I like it so far. The sheepsfoot spring is fairly weak but it doesn't bother me for $15

It seems to be a theme with the China Bucks to have at least one blade being weak on closing.
 
The Scottish Isles yielded up some Coco treasure when Paul very kindly sent me this White Owl as a present. Again, many thanks, I've been using and carrying it all the time.

MADE by Frost this 4 inch plus Stock man has nickle silver bosters , brass liners , and it a very smooth knife, 4 on the walk in talk so no nail breaking. $12 bucks off the bay.
 
Paul I was most cheered up by it. Everyday life tries one's patience, the forum restores one's enthusiasm, and the value of altruism too!
 
This case of the " Case bug" I seem to have caught is getting out of hand....expected this week are...

The metal lock back will be a gift to a buddy, the Appaloosa peanut is for my wife and the folding hunter is because I was at a flee market today and a dealer there wanted to sell me one in lots worse shape for 135.00! I told him he was high...he said " find one cheaper" so while standing in front of him pushed buy it now on the bay for 50 bucks...

Thank you, these Case knives are really starting to speak to me! As for the dealer dude...I just couldn't help myself, he was so smug.

My newest acquired in a trade with Mr Barlow himself, Charlie C. :D
It's actually my grandson's, but I'm the keeper of the blades for now. ;)

To each their own, of course. But I think that takes line honours in terms of how a Barlow should look. I won't say "feel" because I'm yet to encounter a sawcut TC "in the flesh". And probably never will! But thanks for sharing the photo Bob. Mark.

I often run into sellers who "think they know" the values of the knives they are selling, (pawn shops selling online are the worse), and almost every swap seller thinks they know more than they actually do. You see it all the time on the bay with guys who stick sky high BIN prices on something just because it is a Buck or Case, (or Kershaw or Gerber or...), without really knowing anything at all about the relative collector value. I find those trying to sell Chinese-made knives for mega money just because it has a Buck shield on it as especially comical. That being said, I think fiddy bucks for that Case hunter is a very good price indeed. Nice find(s), congratulations.
 
#65 Northfield Ben Hogan in Primitive Bone



I love the style of the #65 and had been watching for one to have customized by Herman Williams . I have quite a few Schrade knives that he has re-handled for me in White Bone and when I saw one with the Primitive Bone etch I jumped on it. I know some collectors really like the Primitive Bone but it just doesn't strike a cord for me. Now Smooth White Bone without a shield...that's another matter.











 
Herman did an incredibly good job on the Ben Hogan #65 Doug. I have never seen one with file work before and it looks awesome. How he does all that fine file work amazes me. A couple of nice ones to add to the collection, my freind.
Tony.

Thank you. Im excited about the hunter. I remember my granddads in a beat up leather belt sheath every time we were in the woods trying to rid it of squirrels...
I'm not sure why I watched it all week and didn't just buy it...guess I feel more drawn to pens and peanuts and figured that's where my young collection would go.

Oh and if I might add...I like it around here, you folks are very neighborly. Wish I'd stopped by sooner.

Very Nice, Will! He sent me a 66 Stockman wearing a similar suit. It's on my to-sharpen list for today or tomorrow, and then I'll start carrying it.

Thanks Mark. My pleasure. Charlie really puts a lot of thought and effort to bring us beautiful modern examples of a very old pattern that has been a staple of traditional slipjoint knives of so many years.
