Your newest addition:traditionals of course!

That is a really great looking knife... me likeum..... I assume it's stainless? I tend to lean toward the CV, when I can find it...

Thank you. It is stainless. I don't find a huge difference between the Case SS and CV, and I have knives in both. But, I spend a lot of time outdoors and in the woods for both work and play. With the temps and dew points we have for 6 moths of the year I'll have brown rust on a CV knife up in about 30 minutes. You should see what bolsters look like after a day in the field with me ha! So, that's the driver for me choosing stainless a lot of times.

Rough Rider Hopalong Cassidy.

I know, but I just had to have it.

Very well done - fit/finish, even grind, sharp and well - Hopalong Cassidy...

p.s. that's my gut reflected in the bottom bolster

The wife and I went to dinner last night and on the way, we stopped at our road-side mailbox only to discover a wee, white, box from JohnDF . All through dinner, I was wondering just what could be in that wee, white, box. It turns out that it was a 2007 GEC Northfield #73 Ebony Scout Trappr Serial # 09 SFO for Cumberland Knife Works (CKW) who I believe was an original distributor for GEC. As shown in the pictures, the knife is beautifully etched and when the tube was opened it was discovered that the knife was accompanied by an Eisenhower Silver Dollar.

This was a selfless and totally unexpected gift from John. A first rate knife that anyone would be proud to own and have in their collection. Thanks John.

How cool is that? Very, very nice.....

Thank you. It is stainless. I don't find a huge difference between the Case SS and CV,

And there probably isn't a huge difference in the edge retention between the two... most differences are likely imagination.. I just hate to admit it...

My bloodwood 29 came today, looks quite nice. I still wish for a little more snap on the clip main, but it's better than the coffee house.

 

[cut it out]

The one on far right I got today.

Just got this Taylor's Eye Witness "Bunny" knife.

Makael, more pictures of the knife in the second photo you posted please, the 'Ranch hand' I think it's called. I like all those knives , but that two bladed jack really appeals to me!

Received this today. First impression -- it is a slipjoint alright, and an interesting one at that. Double-side long pulls, titanium bolsters, and what looks to be phosphor bronze washers.

The thing is...it isn't a traditional knife.

 

[Mayonardo]

As far as I know there is no widely excepted definition of what makes a traditional knife a traditional knife. So, I guess you’re able to call it whatever you will.

I agree with you. It's a nice knife though.

You are very welcome, my friend.

Wow, that is nice. The knife and the act.
Got these last night. Had the one on preorder, the other I had missed out on because on procrastination, indecisiveness and not having the money when the urge to buy struck, it was on the auction site for probably less than retail, I like it.

 

[Crazy Canuck]

Lovely mail day today

Better late than never on last year's Forum Knife, and a maple 29.

 

[waynorth]

Nice Maple knife, eh?? Leaf and all!!

I've got one of those coming too!!

You'll find it cuts like a Traditional knife alright It lacks the weight, and brass....of many Traditionals and that's no bad thing

 

[cjtamu]

Kept forgetting to post these. Also from the estate sale. Far cry from what you get today. And have the nicest blue patina on them.

When I first got into GEC knives, I bought a #66 Jack. Not realizing how hard they would be to come by again, I let it go. For over a year now I've been looking to add one back into my collection with no luck. But now, thanks to @LastRodeo , I am the proud owner of an awesome #66 Jack in Purple Sage Jig Bone.

This one aint going nowhere.

 

[hamsco]

I traded a 85 stag for this 74 with white bone covers. This is so pretty that I think I'm gonna carry it. It begs for natural patina, and i am starting to like clip blades.

 

[swede413]

I picked this up on that auction site. I dont know anything about the company but it seems to be very well made.
