That Banana Peel was a beautiful color. Opinions vary of course, but I like it much better that some of the recent Rotten's.

I added a couple of D2 beauties to my pile this week, both Queen built during the older regime.
Queen #3L Mountain Man in curly zebrawood, this big boy is over 4½ inches closed. Made in 2011, it opens and closes easily, but locks up tight.
Robeson Pocket Eze stockman in amber jigged wormgroove bone, medium sized at 3⅝ inches closed. This one is from the early 2000s, and the F&F is as good as any factory made pocket knife I own. No gaps anywhere, pulls a solid 6 and snaps like a gator. The bone is exquisite, as is the polish on the D2.

Pawn shop find for $35
65-69 vintage jumbo trapper, really like the bone on these older ones, this one reminds me why I rarely buy newer Case stuff
Pics or it didn't happen....
What a find and a remarkable example
I think 35 represents less than it would've cost new half a century back! It also puts into perspective the enormous prices demanded for some otherwise ordinary factory-made SFOs too.Thanks, Will

I had been looking for a northfield 77 bone micarta forever and finally lucked out and bought one, and it was everything I had hoped for
they are certainly beautiful, my favorite of that run!
