Lucky Se7ens...

On the left is my newest, a 440C 74 & on the right my well-loved 73, courtesy of our friend bloody pawprint @bloody_pawprint.

There's a parallel conversation going on now about the value proposition of $10 vs $100 knives. For me these 2 are worth every penny. Let's hope they can keep it up for a while yet.

I've not seen a Frontier knife 315. Really very nice. At first I thought that all the features on the clip were a bit busy, but now I like it, especially the way the grind dips under the pull and swedge.

How old do you figure it is?

View attachment 847660 View attachment 847661 View attachment 847662 View attachment 847663 I got this one in the mail today. Unfortunately it's a little more beat up than I expected... might try to fix her up a bit.

I've had that happen. I've gone at a few hammer and tongs with nice results. Treason to some to strip it all off but as long as your honest about it then fine by me. Good luck.

This just landed. A big thanks to Jfowl31.

Putting that cap lifter to good use! Been to their brewery in Amherst? Great pub and tour.

Thank you. It is one of my favorites. It is amazing to hold and see the depth of the scales. GEC does a fine job on the abalone. As far as I know it is just considered a Congress. It is the #61 pattern with 4 blades.

Ah yes, I was blinded a bit by the abalone. Here's my 13 American Whittler...

Don't really know it's age. I picked it up on advice from the guys here on the forum. I'd have to go back and look but I think one of the guys said they were made from the mid 70's to early 80's. Grandad carried one just like it, only in black for as long as I can remember.

I have a new Lloyd Moonshiner inbound courtesy of VCMCustomKnives. It was a tough choice between the one I picked and a bolstered micarta one they have listed. Pic is courtesy of @VCM3 Can't wait for Tuesday!!

Every time I am in the area I make sure to stop by. It is my favorite brewery.

My R. Bose trapper came today. It’s amazing. The Remington bone is sublime. Didn’t have enough time for enough pics. Will soon.

It was a 77 kind of week at the mailbox.

 

[deltaboy]

Nice knifes!

 

[jwb01]

These two were waiting for me today once I got home from a little hunting trip.

 

[bonzodog]

Arrived this morning.

 

[oldmanrunning]

Had to make a 10 mile round trip cycle ride this morning to collect this.

I was very lucky last week to get this on the exchange from @blademan 13 . I have seen @paulhilborn post his beauty just like this , only better , a few times and I knew immediately that sooner or later I would have to get one if possible .



I liked it so much that I even bought a 78 that I thought would match it except for the jigging .


Thank you Lyle Fry for having the SFO to have these made and thank you Paul for being an enabler .
