Your newest addition:traditionals of course!

Still on the search for one more in particular... gabon ebony. Thank you for all that have helped me locate these. I'll have a fun surprise TC to show off next week as well :D

Well. Right after this post, I'm gonna update my sig. line. I got this beautiful autumn gold bone two blade 85 in today. Been seeking this one for a while. Got a pm from Buzzbait offering this one at a very reasonable price(great price IMO). I jumped all over it. Thank you Buzzbait! Now, do I carry this baby?

It’s good to see that it arrived safe and sound. I’m always happy to help out a forum member, when I can. It really is an exceptionally beautiful knife. When the lighting is right, the covers show an incredible amount of depth.
 
I hope this counts as a traditional.


It's a new old stock ( 1977 vintage ) imperial "Veri Veri sharp " 8" serrated poultry slicer that I scored for 99¢ at a Goodwill. Don't know how I'll sharpen it if it ever dulls, but it is serrated so it may take a while.
It's super thin like most imperials are, so of course it should be one a helluva slicer.
As you can see on the sticker It's original price was $2.19 so it's definitely not high end, but I sure love Imperial for their decent quality to value ratio.
 
Just picked this 62087 up online and its a BEAUT in hand. Claims to be new, never sharpened and I cant argue with it, it looks amazing.

I bought it to be an EDC kind of knife, a cherished keepsake, hand it down kinda knife that my kid can one day show off the patina and the smooth bone from riding in his Dad's pocket all that time...but its so nice...I almost dont know if I can do it! Im on the fence, and I dont own safe/drawer queens so if I cant get over using this thing it will likely move on from here.

Matt, that knife is an absolutely perfect candidate for the reason you bought it. It's your call, of course but you're not going to do much better than that unless you just don't like the knife in general.

I can picture it with well worn covers and the picture I have in my head is pretty nice.
