And then this one...... ::tu:: ::tu::
How do you do it??
A combination of luck, and having extra cash of which my wife has no knowledge! :lol:
I am past normal retirement age and still working. I have been in a serious buy/accumulate mode for a couple of years, and plan to continue for a couple more. I have been lucky to become aquainted with 3 or 4 sources handling quality knives. At some point, I will say no more and kick back and just enjoy what I have.
Thank you for your comments

Thanks guys, just added this unusual 3 5/8" Challenge gunstock, well worn but still very usable, managed to cut myself with the pen blade. Nicely pocket worn, looks to have been someone's favorite.

You just keep coming up with prizes. Wow the bones are sweet, and the condition fab. The aged beauty you just can't get in a new release. Congrats. You scored off the charts.

One of my favorite marks. Here's a roper/coper I may have posted before. Iron liners and bolsters. Real tight and snappy. I'll post some others. J.O'.
