It's In The Mail

Toolzall Pocket Pro. Back in the 1990s, and into the 2000s (before Crescent production got outsourced to China), Bear and Sons made a range of badge-engineered Bear Jaws models for them. Off the top of my head there was the Toolzall (Bear Jaws), Maintenance Pro (Gardener-based, but exclusive to Crescent, in that it has a file in place of the Gardener's weeder, or the Sportsman's bird hook), Toolzall Pro (Super Bear Jaws) and Electrician Pro (Electrician). It was only $5, but the seller wanted $6 shipping (flat rate, and they had nothing else I would want). Still though, cheap for something that's sort of scarce. I've noticed Toolzalls in general are getting harder and harder to find, and the Pocket Pro was one of the poorest sellers.

As a user, this little guy should be pretty handy, especially as backup to one of the simpler Swiss Army knives.

My GEC 82 stag Dixie has become my EDC and I've been watching as the numbers of the other variants available at dealers slowly dwindle. Who knows when if ever there will be another run. So now I have one of each of the other variants headed my way from CK.
Pics on arrival.

I don't think I've ever posted in this thread before.

There is what appears to be a full bladed Pal cattle knife and best I can tell, a full bladed 6225 1/2 with a XX stamp headed to Starvation Plantation. Learning to wade around in the muddy end of the "Bay".

That stockman looks real good Tsar!
Great find cody! She'll make a great edc...

You're like me Tsar, all googly eyes over warnclifs. Gimmie warnies...

Oooooo' montanaman. That's some yummy looking stag...

Here's me latest pickup and super lucky to boot,
Mint vintage Queen 1976 #19 Winterbottom bone trapper with original box.
Why she's lucky find,
Queen only used this stamp 1 year (1976).
I didn't know that when i bought it. Looking afterwards, i knew that stamp was fishy. Went and looked in my queen book. Sure enough, she's a great find...

Happy Happy Happy!

The 82 is so great, either for edc or just collecting. I got all the ones I wanted from this run, but now I have an eye out for older ones. The good thing about it being a small run is that it was easy to get all you want.

The possum skinner is a pretty neat knife too and I really understand it's appeal being so slim, but I know I'd never use it since I have the stockman. I need less user knives not more.

My 2 latest acquisitions are going to do daily battle for a place in my LFP. I guess it will depend on how much of a pocket bulge I can deal with.

That is a grail find for me, as well as a '76 Winterbottom bone Barlow. I almost cringe thinking what it might have set you back...

WC, you found a bird nest on the ground.

I do believe this knife, currently making its way to the southeast, will drive a certain Marine to the brink of envy...

Also coming with the smooth rose doc is this neat old Liberty pen knife:

Thanks, Dennis!

Patiently waiting for my latest addition to the Premier Lifetime pile. Picked it up from eBay a week ago. Seller shipped it from Toronto Canada the next day. Three days later it was in Los Angeles.

Yesterday it arrived in Chicago!

The wonders (or is it wanders?) of the USPS.

Kershaw/Snap On 1440 Stubby (Made in Japan) in orange. Think $20 was too much (near $25 with shipping). I saw a red near-mint example for $25, and am just wondering. Should be a nice EDC. This is my first good Kershaw. I already have a Filter, and it's a good beater. I'm adding a Half Ton (the Chinese version of it) soon to compare and as an additional beater.

Gotta admit, I really like the "wrench" clip.

Paid $16 for mine but it's a Buck Commander and I think it was made in China. I don't have a picture of the pile side of the blade so I don't know for sure about that.

The large smooth bolsters always provide a spiffy look, dressy.

Finally.

Went a little crazy...

The Queen is the 19EO in bird's eye maple with the one-armed man secondary blade. Seems scarce enough that the only pic I could easily find was the weird fudged one on the TPK site. One of my favorite Queens in both pattern and handle material.

This one I already had but it's making the return trip back from Dr. Lansky's laboratory after undergoing...The Procedure.

Tony looks like the surgery was a success.

The surgery is always successful when Dr. Lansky is behind the mask.

You know, I might just get that done to my Case Caliber Muskrat eventually. Never saw the point for two identical blades, and neither do I use it hat much because of it. The Moose is much better, given you've got either a spear or long spey blade, depending on who made it.

Two cheap workhorse knives. Just over $10 with shipping for both. The seller luckily combined shipping. eBay wouldn't let me do it though the "Request Total from Seller option), but the seller sent me a total when I messaged them. I knew two lightweight knives didn't cost $8 to ship from Indiana!

A Schrade USA CH-7 Cliphanger "Viper". Just under $5. Missing the lanyard, but I found something else to put in its place (see below). I have a CH-3, but find it a bit small for heavy work use. There are lanyards or more accurately "Cliphangers" for Cliphangers to be found, but only those for the CH-3 and CH-4 models; and those are much smaller.

An Imperial Ireland National Rifle Association promo lightweight Barlow (appears to be the AP22 model). I bid on it because it was listed as being a Colonial, but I didn't look too good at the picture. Those were actually later knives, made in 2005; and were modeled after the Imperial since it was no longer available. Still, I know I didn't waste two bucks. These are great knives at a steal. I quite like my TM-2 Screwdriver (Electrician). Really lightweight, and it cost a pittance as well. Not really heavy duty like a standard TL-29, however.

Some metal pocket clips with a Cliphanger quick release; to replace the missing lanyard (which so far, I can't find). $6 for all six--another seller wanted that for one. According to an old Schrade magazine ad, I think it was in our research page, these were sold as optional accessories to the Cliphangers. Now to find the clip-on (using the same quick-release mechanism) flashlight, whistle/compass, and sharpener mentioned in that same ad (having never seen one, my money is on them never having been produced). The extras I plan to probably give to those needing them, and to fit on the next CH-7 I buy (which for sure will have a lanyard!) to give it a double-secure mechanism (lanyard clipped to belt loop, clip on right front pocket).
