Here are some that the mailman has brought to me the past 2 days. To my current knowledge the only made in the USA that I'm sure of is the mess kit knife. This shopping online is getting me down. I need the hunt, the people and the feel of victory when I think I've gotten a good deal.

I have a few new knives to report.
Ordered the 3 Colonial's from Colonial.
The 1 Gerber, I picked up from our Canadian tire. Funny thing about it, it was the display model and was made a while ago, so they lost the box for it.

Nice set of knives Scale Military! That Gerber is sweeeeet! In my Army days 91-93, just about everybody in my company with an EDC had either a Gerber or a Leatherman. They were very "in" I guess you would say. I had a nice Gerber back then but a few years latter I loaned it to a guy at work on a construction site who left it laying around & forgot it when we went home that day. Needless to say, it was gone the next day.

Got this Amherst Stag Swayback recently. I wasn't familiar with the brand but decided to take a chance because I liked the stag (and the Wharncliffe blade, too, of course). Turns out it's even better than I expected. Exceptional F&F and has the feel and action of a custom handmade knife. Nice and slender, too (shown beside my recently acquired Italian Viper Swayback for width comparison).

Too many adjectives to describe that knife so, just gorgeous!

Yep! What Skip said.↑↑↑

These came yesterday. Too dark for pictures by the time they got here. As you can see, the Utica TL-29 is used but not abused and the price was commiserate with the condition so I'm pleased with it. It's a place holder for one with the metal TL-29 shield.

Cool shield on that Mini Trapper Jerry! The color is also nice

Thanks TPK! Yeah the knife is sweet! Grippy handle that is good is your hand is wet. Haven't tested how the steel will hold it's edge yet, though it could use a honing of the edge. 1 thing though with my colonial fixed blade is that the sheath snap broke on the sheath that holds the handle. Guess they didn't pound the snap good enough. Now I'll have to make a new sheath for it or get a kydex one made......

That is a beautiful knife, I would love to have one. Do you mind if I ask where you got it?

I have a couple of their knives Q and find them very quality knives. One is in Mammoth. Lot of controversy about them. Some say made in Ohio, others say China, some made in China and assembled in Ohio. Regardless great knives and that one is just exceptional. Love both the blade and the handles. Excellent and congratulations.

My daily trip to the post office yielded these two knives. Both are Camillus 72 variations. Another McGrew ARKANSAS, 3 blade, swelled center, "whittler" pocket knife and my first and only, so far, POWR-KRAFT 84-11, 3 blade, swelled center, "whittler" pocket knife. The McGrew needed a cleaning, the POWR-KRAFT did not. These are MY pictures.

Some perty sweet knives being delivered fellers . And yes, me bro's gerber is quite a nice knife for sure. Gerber knives overall (especially Bear Grylls series), are excellent knives. Especially the Portland OR made ones.
Now I need to pick up me-self some-more knives .

David, a bad back hasn't slowed you down in knife procurement. Hope you are feeling better and your son as well.

My son Matthew is doing great, but I'm the one now that can't get off the heating pad or find a position to sleep without pain. I have an appointment tomorrow with a specialist at the Texas Back Institute in Denton.
Yeah I went on ebay and did some bidding and won a few of them, but that's not how I like to find knives. I need the hunt, to hold the knife and the contact with people face to face. Take care doglegg.

Nice finds. I see the hammer and sickle on the tang of the green knife, was that made by a Russian Company?

No. It was made in the 70's in a factory called Sickle and Hammer in a small village near Veliko Tarnovo. Interestingly, there is no Soviet knife factory with the sickle and hammer logo.
