Your newest addition:traditionals of course!

Nameless Catskill Mts. knife that sure looks like abalone, esemco pen, and corneta of El Salvador 14" machette.

That's a good-looking knife.

Man, I’m a sucker for a knife with brass bolsters and wood covers. Classy knife.

Well, Tony at Everyday Commentary got me again. His newest review had me searching for an Otter, which I found. But I also followed the rabbit hole to Perceval. Haven’t bought a knife in a while, so I guess I just went all in.

I guess these are both more modern than traditional. I hope these are in keeping with the guidelines.

Just received this in the mail, when it arrived it was what i expected, the plain looking grey stag that is seen on most A.Wright stag scales. It is one of their budget work knives, and has it's flaws, but over all is a good work knife and that is what it is made for. But i always clean a knife when i receive it, and this had a very pleasant surprise, under all the grey metal dust, was a little hidden gem, some color. My photography skills are not the best, but the scales have a beautiful golden tinge through them, which does not show up as well in a photo, but it is there. So if you purchase a stag from Wrights, give it a good clean you may well be pleasantly surprised.

Very nice, cudgee, I too just received a late Christmas present (from myself!). I love the old Schrade Waldens, and I already had a nice user 880 Kon-Kav, but I found an absolutely mint example in the box to have a safe queen as well. It also has a different clip main than the user. This knife is more pristine than some GECs I've bought directly from retailers; it literally could have been made yesterday!

Very nice. What vintage would that be, just curious, we cannot get those great finds over here.

Thanks, cudgee, 1964-'73 with the Schrade Walden tang stamp.

Mate, they are fantastic scales..

My first Canoe. A little blade rube on the pile side tip of the spear but otherwise a beautiful knife.

That is a beautiful Case.. They do their scales really well. And the the Canoe is a good all round knife.

Thank you Sir, my favorite part are the beautifully lined bolsters.

Another "feel good" knife. Looks like the handle would just melt into your hand.

Beautiful covers, interesting edge on that Spey blade. If you don’t mind my asking, when was that knife produced?

Thank You! The tang stamp puts it as a 1980. I'm kind of a sucker for appaloosa bone. All my other appaloosas have smooth bone so this one is a little different. I don't think Case has made many trappers with the serrated blade.

Other than the Halloween knives, I think you’re right, but that knife is in a class by itself!
