Your newest addition:traditionals of course!

That was an interesting group of guys, the only St. Louis era football Cardinal team worth rooting for, in my opinion.

I have had the same mailman since I moved to this house 15 years ago. I am always happy to see the guy, but I will confess to being just a little happier to see him on days he brings me knives..

I really like how dark the oak is on this one.

This one just landed on a trade. Very pleased

I now have my green bone Gator #88, thanks to ED for a great trade. I have waited 15 years for GEC to bring out a sowbelly pattern, and this green bone clip/lambsfoot is even more than I could have hoped for. Perfect size, terrific ergonomics, great blade combo, nice firm 6 pulls with excellent snap, and even in green bone!

I got this #74 Mustang with stag covers in a trade with Jeff black mamba for a Gator #88 that Jeff shows in the above post. The stag covers on the Mustang are very nice, very pronounced. Couldn't have wished for a more satisfying trade.

Arrived today. Third prize in Primble 's Kentucky Derby giveaway ( Will Power was third place winner, but declined the prize). Thanks to both!
(This is Case's Mako lockback, similar in size to the Buck 112, I believe.)

That’s really nice, John. I didn’t know Case had a red micarta line.

Nice addition John, are you going to get it fitted with a hotdog shield on the pile side?

I got my first Rough Ryder today. I saw it in an email and liked the looks of it. It didn’t have any of the quirky Rough Ryder things (except maybe the nail nick) so I got sucked into the free shipping promotion and ordered it.

I guess it’s about what I expected. It’s not terrible and it’s not excellent. Aesthetically I really like it. The bone stag looks great and I think the black liner material looks good too. The walk and talk is okay; I imagine it will get better as I flush it more and use it. From open to halfstop is more stumble and mumble than walk and talk. The liners are pretty tight to the backspring without much gap. The backspring had a weird rough, unpolished area area, so I sanded the backspring and gave it a brushed treatment. The pivot pin was visible, so I ended up giving the bolsters the same treatment. The blade is off center (which doesn’t bother me) and might have a slight curve to it toward the end; but I guess if I can’t tell for sure, it doesn’t matter.

Wow, that was a long-winded way of saying that for as cheap as it was, I’m happy with it overall and I can see myself carrying and using it. It will be a good weekend knife.

What a great way to describe it Bart.
I think I described mine a “half pause.”

and might have a slight curve to it toward the end; but I guess if I can’t tell for sure, it doesn’t matter.

The first one I got curved so much it nearly touched the liner. I called them and they sent me another one. The second one sounds like yours, I think it still curves, but I guess they offset it enough to keep it off the liner.
It won’t win any awards but it’s not the worst by a long shot.

That’s really nice, John. I didn’t know Case had a red micarta line.

Thank you.
I don't see Red Micarta Case knives pop up very often on the Bay.
I was lucky and caught everybody else sleeping on this one... got it for a song.

That's nice!

Thank you very much.

Nice addition John

Thank you, Todd.

are you going to get it fitted with a hotdog shield on the pile side?

If modders didn't charge so darned much I might think about it.

From open to halfstop is more stumble and mumble than walk and talk.

Hahaha... That's perfect.

I was able to trade for an Oar Carver today.

Jack Wolf Knives Laid Back Jack in olive drab Micarta. Cool knife, but it's probably just passing through.

This is my stag 74 that joeradza sold me... not happily, sorry to say, but I'm glad it could find a home with me. I plan to use the heck out of it. The 74 is just a wonderful size for a single blade knife. In face, I'm going to have to move along my 74 safe queen to help offset this one that will be a user... life goes on....
that haze on the blade is a film of oil... just got through flushing and touching up the edge. It's sweeeet....
