Got an addition to my Camillus pile that has two things I did not previously have - I did not have a #65, and I did not have a Camillus with a smooth synthetic handle.

Re: It's In The Mail
I purchased this pocket knife a few minutes ago. An Imperial, single blade, from Mexico. I "should" have it by October 31. I'll give it the once over when I receive it, although it looks like it's in good condition and post MY pictures in the appropriate location(s). These pictures are the seller's.

Great score! That's probably only the third Mexican Imperial I have seen--ever. And the smallest.New_Windsor_NY wrote: ↑Thu Oct 17, 2019 1:18 am I purchased this pocket knife a few minutes ago.

Re: It's In The Mail
Should be here today.
Camillus Cub Scout Knife, BSA883--aka the "budget" version. Bought this for a small toolkit I'm putting together. For a work knife, I love the Cub Scout. Fairly light, compact, tough, as well as locking screwdriver and awl--the two tools that WILL fold up on you in use if not locking. Never had a cutting blade do it with this frame size.
From here; $8 shipped. Pretty danged cheap if I say so.

I purchased this pocket knife this evening, another Schrade 863. I "should" get it next week. I'll give it the once over when I receive it and post MY pictures in the appropriate location(s). These pictures are the seller's.

Re: It's In The Mail
BTW Skip. That's a fine looking 863 you have coming. Addictive aren't they?
I don't know why, I just did. Should show up on Monday.
I was the only bidder for this Cannon 3 piece set. It will be interesting to see if the half stops are sloppy on all three.

Re: It's In The Mail
Those are fine looking knives Jerry. As far as the 863 goes, I already have 3 of them, but at less than $5.00 (not including shipping) I couldn't resist.jerryd6818 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 20, 2019 5:03 am BTW Skip. That's a fine looking 863 you have coming. Addictive aren't they?

Re: It's In The Mail
This evening I purchased another Ulster "deer head", possibly a 55D pattern and will be adding it to the zoo sometime next week. As usual, I'll give it the once over and post MY pictures in the appropriate location(s). It appears to be in nice condition. These pictures are the seller's.

This evening I also purchased this Craftsman 9494. It "should" arrive next week. I'll give it the once over and post MY pictures in the appropriate location(s). It's missing the shield, but otherwise it looks like it's in good shape. These pictures are the seller's.

Re: It's In The Mail
I purchased this, yet another, Imperial "Longhorn Steer Head" pocket knife today. I'll add it to the zoo, hopefully in a few days. I'll give it the once over when I receive it. It looks like the blades need some cleaning. I'll post MY pictures in the appropriate location(s). These pictures are the seller's.

Re: It's In The Mail
For several years, I've wanted one of these fish knives with the hook sharpener embedded in the handle. A couple of days ago, I stumbled on to one that looks to be in fairly good condition and looked like it might go for a reasonable price so I stuck it in Gixen the handy sniper and received an email this morning that I was the high bidder. Seller didn't mention a pattern number but a little research showed it to be a Camillus #25, only made in the 1970's from what I could tell from the catalogs. The best I can tell from the seller's pictures, it seems to be in good condition. Should know by early next week sometime.

Re: It's In The Mail
I need to add a few fish knives/full-sized toothpicks. I only have two; a Case needing a full-on rebuild, and a Colonial Granddad gave me missing a handle slab, and a busted-off knife.
Bought two of these Crescent Toolzall Pocket Pros for $14 each, which are made by Bear and Sons and based on the Mini Bear Jaws. Being as they're an older product from the MGC/Victorinox ownership era; the quality is good. Despite having been made as recently as 2008(9?), they're sorta uncommon. But, apparently, someone unearthed a large number of them, as this seller has already sold 38, I bought two leaving 8, meaning it was likely a case of 48. One will be replacing the secondhand example I lost out of my shorts back in June, the other will stay in the blister, and be a collection example.
I personally prefer the Bear Jaws Mini Bear Jaws when it comes to extremely small multitools. Basic tool load out (though I do wish it had scissors), and no spring-action pliers (which I dislike)

Re: It's In The Mail
I just set eyes on my future safe queen Voos jack (#3 overall). One to tote, one to CF&CE, one to squirrel away in a safe place.
It was right here scrolling across the top of AAPK courtesy of btrwtr, proprietor of Wayne's Vintage Knives, and at such a price too! This bad boy is on the way!
These old jacks with craggy, clean, mostly-intact Rogers bone haven't been made in over half a century and at this point they're only going to get harder to find. Thanks for making such a great old knife available at such a reasonable price, Wayne!
