My three latest.
After reading the Churchill thread I was looking to check one out. Got this Hummingbird acrylic one and it’s not left my pocket. Definitely an awesome pattern. Really hoping for a run with weird colors/shields someday.
The 85 is awesome and the covers are beautiful (IMO) but I’m not sure that I like it more than my 78s.
And, lastly, the 99 is my first stainless GEC and there’s no blade wobble unless I reallly try for it. But I don’t know what I’d use a wharncliffe for. Gonna try and run it and see what happens though.

was a middle man in me being able to get a French Kate for my wife and I was not able to take pictures then . The covers are Snake Wood and IMO very hard for me to take good pictures showing the pattern in the wood . The knife is in great shape and was made in 2011 . It is a Northfield and # 18 of 31 made . We thank you very much Alan . My somewhat feeble attempt at getting some good photos on a gray day .

Taylor/BTI Old Timer Bowie, this is a big'n 10 inch(25 cm) blade. Kinfe seems to be pretty well made. Sheath no so much, its serviceable though. Pretty hefty feeling piece, grip feels good.
Really good factory edge....

Well the proof is in the pudding, as they say, it cuts real good

Caution, knives are sharpdc50
For sure, just barley brushed my finger against it, re-sheathing it. Holding the retention strap out of the way, so IT wouldn't get cut.

Don't think I'd want to loose enough for even a Vienna sized sausage
Yeah, its like it was designed to cut stuff or something, very strange it can do so so efficientlyCaution, knives are sharp
I'll stick with chocolate

Well, it's been a while since I've shared any of my new additions to this thread, and I have added a couple over the last several weeks that I haven't really posted on the forum at all, so here we go.
I'll start with the most recent, a couple Tidioute #85's that seem to be all over the place lately. (No rotten banana for me, I just can't get into that shield. 
) Both nice knives, although I think I prefer this pattern in the Northfield trim with the EO notch.
Here's a stainless #99 that I've had a week or so. I love the bone one this one, though I wish it was a spear point, and 1095. I'm a bit disappointed they didn't do any Farmer Locks along with these.
This one just came in the mail today, picked it up off the exchange (thanks @Lostball!). I was bummed about missing out on this knife when it was released. I knew the chain wasn't going to be for me, but I also didn't really like the look of the ones I'd seen with the bail removed and the holes in the scales. My first thought was to remove the chain and just leave the bail, but the unusual-looking bail felt a little goofy on its own. I though this basic fob seemed a decent compromise.
Here's a user #74 that I picked up off the exchange recently. I really like the mossy green color on this one. (I didn't recall the green bone from when these were release -- at the time I only bought one in Ebony -- but it may have been because some of them were more bright green. I'll take this over bright green any day.)
These are the only #14's I picked up this year's run. I went for quality over quantity. (I did post some pictures of the Dead Skunk elsewhere here on the forum when it arrived; feels like that was ages ago.)
And last but certainly not least, a couple gifts I received recently: Duncan's 2012 PPP TC Barlow (from this GAW), and this Burlap Micarta Bull Nose from Paul. Thanks fellas!

I’ve been eyeballing some of the various trappers people have posted. Never owned one before but I can see where they would be a practical outdoor knife so I was able to pick one up at what I thought was a reasonable price. This one won’t just be for looking at, it’ll get used. Hopefully on some critters.

Nice looking Trapper. I bought my first Parker the other day, a Parker Edwards. It was a well built knife. I hope yours is the same.I’ve been eyeballing some of the various trappers people have posted.

Yours, and a few others, made me decide to pick one up.

Colonial scout/hobo, unused,good walk'n'talk
To be quite honest found myself jealous of all the banana knives posted lately, so I bought ME a banana knife
Little LB3 pretty bad sharpening rash, but I thing I can clean it up
But the cherry on today's cupcake is this 6 dot Case 62109X Baby Copperhead in redbone
excellent walk'n'talk & fit'n'finish
