That's some perty fancy cutlery there Mark. I'm mighty partial to fancy stag and fancy horn, on fancy knives, you done good ole boy!
I have 3 knives that came today, but they were being a real pain to photograph .
Here's the low-down...
Case XX 1972 8 dot, yeller heavy duty 2 blade jack. Big ole Case carbon. Used, but still in excellent edcing condition. Wiped off, and into me pocket she goes.
Schatt & Morgan Heritage Series, ebony, single blade, heavy duty jack. I'm partial too ebony, i'm partial too single blade jacks, i'm partial too S&M's, i'm partial too double swedge cut drop point blades, i'm partial too...
I think ya'll have guessed by now that I really like this one . Factory mint, but a little colorization on the blade from the carbon oxidizing in storage. Humidity and carbon steel are a dynamite combo. Heck, it makes the knife look even better! And that always a good thing . The pull, walk, talk, half stop, snap are probably the best of any new pocket knife I've held so far, as good, or better then GEC's best. And it's the sharpest factory grind I've seen so far, shaved a good pile of arm hair when I tried it out earlier.
Winner in my book .
Best for last...
A GEC #82, Sambar Stag , Dixie Stockman. It beats out the S&M in overall fit and finish. One large hunk of stag and stockman steel. I can see why it wasn't the most popular pattern gec put out, it's a little large for many people. You got to have steady hands when yer doing delicate work with it, that main blade is loooong, for a stock pattern anyway. But for me, it's a perfect size. It'll go great along side my case edc medium pocket worn stockman. But the worst thing about it, is that it's such a beautiful (and expensive) knife, that I really don't want to put it to work. First world problems eh... .
All in all this was a great haul.

That beautiful GEC would be totally wasted if you don't use it!
But then that S&M ebony would just sit around unused. . .

I guess that I could take it off your hands, though. Just to help put that poor knife, you understand!

Everyting has it price...you wan it...come and get it .

Though Toothpicks have never been a particular favorite, this 4th generation 2000 Solingen Bulldog is now highly favored by me. This is due mostly to the excellent build quality and appealing red color. The tang carries the champion Bulldog, Lucky.

Being in the hospital didn't stop me from finding pocket knives. When I got home this evening I had these two beauties that arrived in the mail. I got a very good deal from one of our own members at AAPK for the pair of Case Mini Trappers Model #6207. "Jackson Knife Collectors Association" 1994 & Scroll etched on main blade. #06 & #23 in the series.
They have the tang stamp

I just came to say NICE PAIR Dave!... And to John, no pictures you tease!?

Actually just got a Taylor boot knife in the mail but the blade is so abused that I am ashamed to post the picture quite yet. I’ll clean it up first.

[Quick Steel]

You have a very good looking pair of knives David. Congrats.

Terrific stag handles on that 44, wow!

Today, my morning trip to the post office produced this piece of cutlery.
A Schrade Walden 863, 3 blade, swelled center, "whittler" pocket knife.
The main blade has KON-KAV etched on it.
It didn't need any cleaning at all.
I took some pictures, here they are.

Thank you Floyd.

And a fine piece of cutlery it is Skip!
Here’s that Taylor boot knife that arrived a little while back, cleaned up a little. Too bad whoever attempted to sharpen it is allowed to handle knives at all LOL.

Wenger Pocket Toolchest. I had to remove the (Sharpied on) initals of a former owner with alcohol and a cotton swab, but other than that, it's like new.

I had one before, but unmentioned by the seller, and unknown to me (until it showed up) was that the drivers were damaged. I was finally able to find one for the same price ($15) I paid back then. Because this was not carried over into the Delemont Collection after Victorinox phased out the Wenger brand (which they'd owned since 2008) in 2012, it tends to be expensive. This is, by far, the most practical small SAK that was made. Don't know why it was retired, when all kinds of former Wengers with useless gadgets (a compass that doesn't work, a magnifier that blurs whatever you're looking at with little magnification) still exist in the catalog.

Nice find Cody! Looks like a practical selection of blades!

The mailman brought me my first Case XX Zippo today. More pictures in other threads.
