Your newest addition:traditionals of course!

This Case/Bose Lockback Whittler arrived today and I can't imagine being any happier with it. Alan mentioned in another thread that it's "a marvel of design" and I couldn't agree more.

I had read in some posts from the past that it's common for the 2014 Wharncliffe version (which is what this is) to have a main blade that can be wiggled back and forth when closed. Fortunately, that doesn't appear to be a problem with my example. I can move it a little bit but it takes a deliberate push and doesn't move on its own. That's fine with me because I can do that with most other knives too.

Here's some pics that I took upon arrival today.

Congrats Rick. I may be changing my mind. If that was mine I'd carry it with a larger user. That would cover all my needs especially the need for a real special one.
 
Ebony #44 Buffalo Gunstock arrived today, and it's a beauty!

That is a gorgeous LBW Rick. I'm with you. This is also my first one and just the way it feels in your hand is special and the aesthetics is off the chart, at least in my eyes. Don't believe I will be able to throw it in my pocket though. fullsizeoutput_52c.jpeg
 
Thanks very much to btb01 btb01 Barrett and @paulhilborn Paul , " aka Friends and Enablers " , I just today received my first TC Ancient and what a prize it is . It really is a New Old Knife or Old New Knife , whichever you prefer . It is another GEC knife that is made of Unobtainium . Thank you very much Barrett for selling it to me , and Paul for being the Middleman .

With respect, I feel you ned to mull that over once more ;) What's better than carrying and using a beautiful knife??? I assume you're not planning on selling it in your lifetime so why exile it to obscurity and nonentity? o_O Get stuck in!:D

I carry my Collab Pruner a great deal and the more I do the gladder I feel:cool:

Thanks, Will

Thanks Will for the encouragement. You are right of course. And I haven't ever sold a knife... :cool:
Your pruner collaboration is spectacular. I am very partial to that pattern.

Thank you! Yeah, I carried the #66 all of 2 days before I decided it was too nice to beat it up. I have issues, lol.

That's not so bad. I bought two 66's and never intended to use them. I originally had a user first but sold it due to the light snap and later bought another which was better. So that's four I bought and one that I traded for. There's still more 66's I plan to buy.
