Beautiful knife for your collection Ken! And belated Happy Birthday, I was meaning to tell you yesterday but "stuff" kept sidetracking me. Mark!Mumbleypeg wrote: ↑Sat Apr 10, 2021 7:57 pm This one arrived in yesterday’s mail. Birthday present from our oldest son. This one is new but it reminds me a lot of the 100 or so years old North American Cutlery big coke bottle I have. Even has the same double pulls.

Railsplitter: I recognized that one immediately. Franklin Mint released a slew of those, if memory serves me correctly. I like the way the one bolster mimics the car's tailfins.
Ken: that's a nice birthday present! It got me to thinking that double pulls are a great feature that should be used more.
Marc: thanks for the kind words! I have two more Wharnies in transit, and one of them will be a carrier.

The explorer button locks are discontinued. I believe they were made in the 70’s or 80’s. I found mine on the bay.Madmarco wrote: ↑Sat Apr 10, 2021 8:13 pmTwo beauties EBM!

These arrived yesterday. A Explorer button lock and a Weidmannsheil Lockback.
First one of these Explorer button locks I’ve ever had. Pretty neat. The button locks it closed, half stop and open.
Thanks for the compliments!

My Queen QN010 eluded the porch pirates yesterday and was in my mailbox when I got home. Whew! Exhale! Yeah, it's a China Queen and from the looks of it and the box it was made in the same factory as the Rough Riders. All in all, at 3-5/8" closed it's a fine little knife. Love the saw cut bone handles.

Great looking knives everyone!
Ken that's a real pretty knife! Congrats my friend!

Tom you can’t go wrong with a Schrade. Very nice.
I like that Queen Jerry.
I had 3 keepers arrive this weekend. First is a Moki Kronos with desert ironwood handles. First time I had seen one with wooden handles.
Second is a Robeson by Queen grand dad barlow with jigged strawberry bone handles.
Third is another Marbles by Dave Shirley. English Easy Open Jack with red bone stag handles.

Thanks Mark. I did have a good weekend for new knives. Been scoring quite a few lately. My personal collection is getting too large again. I need to stop buying and reduce the collection again.

Here's a new pickup. It's a Boker Plus Rexford. VG-10 steel. It's probably as beefy a knife as I've owned. Quite the beast, and super sharp..
Marco, this one might be one you'll like!

Lion Steel Mini. I was hoping to get some satisfactory Olive Wood and I'm satisfied. I remove the pocket clips from all of my knives that have them and like always, that was the first thing I did.
It's a decent little knife but it lacks that exceptional "feel" that I've come to expect with the brand. I've owned maybe about 8 or 10 Lion Steel knives and I'd give all the others a 10. This one gets an 8 which is still very good. I might have a different perspective after I use it a few times.

Looks cool RailS. Congrats. Good looking wood. I'm with you on the pocket clips. What made this an 8 instead of 10?
It was a long back burner search and wait for this one. Years. Finally scored an AAPK. No complaints, love the red bone and the double bladed single spring package. So slim. And the smooth action, no half stops, and hearty snap open and close is very nice. Liking the 35s more and more.
