Your newest addition:traditionals of course!

A new to me (and my first) GEC #73, with liner lock and lanyard tube. I picked it up off the Exchange, just arrived yesterday. It came already broke-in with a little patina to boot. The pull is medium and the wood is absolutely gorgeous. I can see why everybody likes the #73s, it's a winner all day long.

 
A couple of ebony beauties showed up today. Me so :) :D :p !!

I just received my first Cass Bose collaboration knife . It's a Lockback Whittler in stag (what else). The pattern number is TB532005 and the steel is ATS-34.

I've read about the collabs and seen plenty of photos, but none of that prepared me for the knockout that this knife is. The F&F and the W&T is second to none. Now I know this isn't news because without hearing the same from others I doubt I would've paid the price for a Case knife.

What I wasn't prepared for was its size. At 3 3/4" closed it was pleasantly larger than I pictured. That makes the main clip usable in more situations. So instead of being a secondary carry, the knife is quite capable for most situations on its own.

As complicated a design as possible it still feels like a solid block of steel. The three blades are centered perfectly with beautiful grinds. The main clip which is the lockback opens with a smooth tension that I've never experienced in another knife.

To all the enablers here who helped me decide, a big Thank You.
