Your newest addition:traditionals of course!

Just had to show this thing off, a Schatt and Morgan File & Wire Series IV-3 042262. This beast is hefty, and measures 5 2/8" long. You folks who think that Queen didn't turn out high quality knives should really get your hands on some like these:

Ah man, I feel silly :oops:
I have one in that pattern :)
I remembered I had a large saddlehorn, but I thought it had the same bolsters as the small ones. I forgot it was a copperhead cool_shades.gif
Time to thin the herd me thinks ;)
Anyway, here's a pic:

Thanks John! I have been kicking myself since I missed the release. Every time someone would post pics of this knife in here I just wanted it even more. Made my first trade to get it! It really is a beautiful knife, and I consider myself lucky to have it. Now I need to get some better pics, but I was too excited not to post haha.
 
Well, I’m not as into traditionals as I was when I was a youngster, so this is not a recent acquisition by any means, but it is my most recent and I felt what better place to show it off. I received this beautiful Case two blade Folding Hunter as a gift from my mother last Father’s Day. Bonus, it was made the year I was born. upload_2021-4-12_18-58-58.jpegupload_2021-4-12_18-59-26.jpeg
 
Got this from one of GEC's dealers when they dropped but it got stuck at an USPS facility in Chicago ... today I could FINALLY pick it up!
The blade by itself is awesome and a perfect match to the handle. The pull is a bit soft but still snappy and is fun to fiddle with. The cap-lifter has a harder pull but is still easy too open. The scales looks nice but apart from the weird seam in the middle could have had a better finish. The sides are silky smooth but when I run my fingers over the front and back of the handles the scales feels unfinished and raw, kinda coarse, almost to the point that I believe it is a production mishap. I might get back to this in another thread but for now I'll just enjoy the knife and that the long wait is over.

Thanks. This is my first white bone knife. Very much looking forward to the aging process. Really nice action on this one, and I did not realize how substantial the pen blade is.
 
Just received my new Case Medium Jack with CV blades and Red Jigged Bone.
It's not a stellar example of craftsmanship, but it's plenty good for a "user" knife.
Flaws... if I'm being picky, there is slight gaps in the liners/springs and the edge needs work.
If I'm being a little less picky, and the thing that's more bothersome, is the main blade is way off center.
Everything else is well done and I'm happy to finally have something a little fancier than as-ground stainless and synthetic ebony.

That red really looks nice. They had a few of the red jigged bone in stock at GP last weekend, but not these, hope they get them in soon. Glad you’re satisfied with it John.:thumbsup:

If it wasn’t for consistent blade centering issues I would have any complaints for case knives. When they’re off center it’s always to the point of rubbing on the liners. The color on yours is awesome
