Now that's a very fine pickup Smitty!Papa Bones wrote: ↑Thu May 13, 2021 8:46 pm Got this one in yesterday, just now getting around to posting a pic. Got this one from a fellow collector for $20 that I've traded with many times, and couldn't pass it up. A Utica Girl Scout Featherweight with the GS Shield and black composite handles. The blades are like new, fantastic snap and looks to have never been on a stone since the factory edge. The blades and shields do have some tiny scratches & age spots, but I don't believe this has been used. There is a place on the bolster that looks like it could have been dropped, but doesn't bother me. A nice addition to my Scouts family. Here are some pics.

Thank you for the kind words, gents! I have a long way to go before I become a major Spyderco collector. But the discounts they give to veterans will help in that regard.

Re: Mail Call !-Post your new pick-ups here............
Got this one in the mail today to add to my Victorinox Alox group. New in the box Alox Farmer in Dark Blue. 3-3/4 inch closed. It has the SoCoCut logo on the master blade. I really like the color on this one.

Re: Mail Call !-Post your new pick-ups here............
JP and LJ, thank you for the accolades!
Smitty, that blue Alox is a sight to behold! And toomanyknives, if I'm correct, the Buck 301 is 3.875" long and American-made?

For those who may not already know, don’t let the lack of handle pins or the lack of a pin through the shield fool you. The liner, the bolsters, and the shield are all the same piece of steel. The second photo was borrowed from member 300Bucks. It’s a better pic than the ones I have. The method of attachment that Buck uses for the handles is far better than glue and possibly even better than pins. The handles start off with black “posts” on inner side. The posts go through the holes in the liners and then the posts are melted and sanded flush with the liner. Those little ridges on the outside perimeter of the holes keeps the handle from pulling away from the liner. The plastic melts into those ridges and creates a very secure attachment. These Black Sawcut 300 series knives aren’t going to come apart under any kind of abuse the user can throw at them.

My order from Einhorn LLC arrived this morning. A much-needed new belt (now sporting a Case buckle), plus a sheath for a Sod Buster Jr, a slip for a Peanut, and a key fob. I'm very, very pleased, and I highly recommend Ross' products!

Those are really nice Dan.
I've said it recently that I didn't have a "Purina" knife only because I couldn't find one in the places I've gone.
Well I found not one but two, the one I was really looking for, the Stockman and a Barlow. The Stockman is
in pretty bad shape, but it will do until I find a better one. Also I couldn't resist the tourist souvenir
"Great Smoky Mts." knife, just an impulse buy.
