Your newest addition:traditionals of course!

Ha!ha!:D I believe it was my Whittler yes, good thick handle slabs on it too. Another decent German Böker I have is a lock back in Washboard Bone.

I just received my first Tuna Valley knife. A stag Railsplitter from Crazy Canuck (Michael). As you can see the stag is fantastic. The W & T is an A+ as is the F & F. The blades are all tight. There is a hint of blade rub but I think that's user error and not inherent in the manufacturing process. All three blades are nice and sharp although the main clip can probably benefit from a few swipes on a sharpener. All in all a beautiful knife.

Nice Alan! As much as I don't need another maker to collect right now, you got me.. I'm rounding out my GEC, but have to start looking a Tuna Valley.

I love it. Nice purchase. I wouldn't be surprised if another Tuna Valley finds its way into your pocket at some point in the future!

Huge "Thank you" to Mike (Crazy Canuck) for letting go of this gorgeous A. Wright & Sons Lambfoot in Buffalo Horn. My first Lambfoot, my first A. Wright & Sons, and my first knife in Buffalo Horn!

I agree that the Bökers deserve a lot more attention than they get. I'm not entirely sure but I think it even was your Appaloosa Whittler that set me on the track of this stockman [emoji4] I also have a Beer Barrel Whittler of which I'm very fond.

WOW, fantastic additions everyone!!!

Sonny, GREAT yellow Buck Trapper:cool:

Todd, wonderful Kabar Lo, I have one and they are very well made, solid knives, ya gotta love the dogs head and bolster:thumbup:

John, GREAT Gunstock, CASE (to me) is stepping up f&f of late. Love the covers:thumbup:
 
Thank you, Paul and huelsdonk! The note that came with it said never sharpened or carried, and I believe it. Not a scratch. The note also indicated it was made between 1923-1950, but based on what I've been able to find, I'm thinking 1935-1940. Can someone check me on that? It looks like it was made recently it's in such good shape.

I got me a Laquoile En Aubrac with horn handle. It is my third Laquoile, the first one I gave to a friend. This is more in the gentleman's knife category, the Robert David knife in picture is more of a user.

There are differences between the two. The most obvious is the fit and finish which in the Aubrac is better. Something of a surprise was the smooth action in the Aubrac, it resembles my Case full size trapper. None of the beartrap action of the R. David. This could be used by an elderly person with arthritic fingers, with the R. David I have to take care not to get bitten.

I really have to make the Aubrac it's own leather pocket sheath.

Yeah, I have one of those as well, and like Paul mentioned, they're really well made and solid (not too mention cool as all get out). Goins says that the "KA-BAR-LO" stamp on the bolster was used from 30-35. Whether or not they ever did reproduction runs, I don't know.
