Received this in the mail this morning. Pics do not do it justice.

Bone covers aren't typically my thing but this one was too good to pass up!

When you get tired of those boring bone scales and that terrible steel, let me know. Gorgeous.

Thank you sir. I think I'll be keeping this one!

I found this 1977 6232 Case jack a few days ago. It appears to never have been sharpened or carried. The brown bone is absolutely gorgeous, the shield is pinned, and the steel is CV. Now I understand what people mean when they gripe about the newer blades not being very well pointed -- this thing has a needle point! The pen blade was somewhat proud but a few minutes with a small diamond file on the kick fixed that. Overall a real beauty that just screams "classic, traditional pocket knife."

Couldn't resist this. A double lockback by Coleman Western.

She's a beauty for sure; that bone has a pleasing color and jigging.
I wish Case didnt round off the tips of the newer knives, but I suppose that's a result of rapid production and trying to get them out in numbers. Otherwise they are fine knives

Man, that's the kind of find I dream of . Congratulations. Absolutely beautiful.

[HFinn]

Because of the materials I'm not sure if this is a traditional, but here goes. Brisa Trapper 115, G-10 handle, steel Sandvik 12C27.

Found me a big'ol cigar whittler by Kissing Cranes

Following up your cigar with one of my own... no, not the knife.. the PROP for the knife...

Just arrived, a little Queen! I have just recently been introduced to Winterbottom scales... still sounds like something from Game of Thrones, but I digress... John Snow mooning the nightwalkers, or something...
I found this one on thebay... looks brand new. It's a Queen, Dan Burke #46, wharncliffe/pen. It's a small knife, not quite peanut size, but small... about like a Case copperhead.

It's a beautifully made knife, and the scales are very, very nice... IMHO, of course. The pen blade looks to be very close to rubbing, but it's likely just that it's such a small knife, there's not a lot of extra room there. There are no signs of rubbing at all on the blade.
I'm tickled...

Walked into the local knife shop and spotted this recent acquisition: Case 6249W Wharncliffe copperhead with 2001 date code. Had to have it despite buying another knife just a few days earlier. This one was traded in by a collector and looked to have never been carried or sharpened. Sweet knife!

Just arrived and love it in every way

Very nice. I got the #26 Small Stockman a few weeks ago and feel the same way. Love the Wharnie on yours.

Joseph Rodgers&Sons Victorian Era cigar cutter knife, hafted in MOP, with all the proper tang stamps.

 

[black mamba]

I just picked up a nice, minty 1980s vintage 227UH with sheath, box and papers.

 

[d.r.h.]

Just in ... and it more than satisfies (for now!) my never ending fondness for 3-blade whittlers. Bill Ruple serpentine whittler with eye popping mother of pearl covers. Blades are ATS-34 and the main Wharncliffe measures in at 2.375”, while the two pens are 1.75”. Much more beautiful in person than any photograph I could take.

$5 each:

Camillus jack, Imperial stockmanoid, Kutmaster barlow.
That cleaner spot is probably where the shield goes.
