TopDog, other traditional knives I like are 2 blade Jacks and 2 Blade Barlows, but I mostly have 1 blade knives.

Mark, I think I missed this one and your comment earlier also.Madmarco wrote: ↑Fri Jun 28, 2024 4:10 amTony, I should have asked you when we were PMing back and forth, but I forgot so I have to ask you now,Corn Creek Cutlery wrote: ↑Thu Jun 27, 2024 1:25 am Got this one in the mail today ... "Instant Comfort Knife"!
Khyber 1610 Japan Lockback Wood Handles
- 6 1/2" OAL ... 2 3/4" Stainless Blade ... 3.6 ounces, and feels great in hand for a smaller knife. I like the unique shape.
WHERE DO I GET ONE OF THESE?
Your Khyber goes WAY beyond "Instant Comfort Knife" for me, we're talkin' Grail with this beauty!
PLEASE let me know how I get one, or, lead me to water and I will drink!
Many thanks for the compliment ... much appreciated! And info on the knife ... this is the only Khyber 1610 I have ever encountered.
I will be on the lookout for another, and let you know.

OK TOPDOG, you win. Since I did name you "King of the Hobo Jungle" you rightly should have the coat. I guess I'll just bring the one I have.. My Technicolor Dream Coat.. I had loaned it to Kramer, but I got it back.I think I have resolved the infamous "Coat of Consternation situation" thanks to my old buddy Ruddy Ray Moore, AKA Dolemite: The Human Tornado. I'm going to trade some Case XX (from about 1978) folders and a few other items for the pictured coat (made famous in several 75'-78' classic films). I will be looking stylish and cool along with you in your "Kramer Coat"
Well done, buddy!

I am getting a lot of comfort from the Brisa! I love finding knives from northern Europe, so I happy to learn about Brisa. Well, I just got this Brisa "Kephart" Made in Finland. Has a great Quality feel to it. Thick spine, with walnut handle and red liners. It feels great in my hand Comes with a very nice sheath. I am very happy with this new addition to my "Pile" ....

Your Brisa looks like it might have some heft to it with the thick spine. I like a hefty knife ... more control.GSPTOPDOG wrote: ↑Fri Jun 28, 2024 11:52 pm I am getting a lot of comfort from the Brisa! I love finding knives from northern Europe, so I happy to learn about Brisa.

Thanks for your generous offer, Tony, but I think I have the situation under control. When I saw your picture I recognized the knife right away, but I couldn't remember where I'd seen it before. After some thinking, which REALLY hurt my head BTW, I remembered. It was in an eBay store, "gonewalkaboutau" (no quotations) in Australia.Corn Creek Cutlery wrote: ↑Fri Jun 28, 2024 1:26 pmMark, I think I missed this one and your comment earlier also.Madmarco wrote: ↑Fri Jun 28, 2024 4:10 amTony, I should have asked you when we were PMing back and forth, but I forgot so I have to ask you now,Corn Creek Cutlery wrote: ↑Thu Jun 27, 2024 1:25 am Got this one in the mail today ...

I will be on the lookout for another, and let you know.
He had 2 Khyber 1610's listed at one time, but his prices were high and that's why I didn't think I currently own a copy, although I might, (see below) but it seems I should have acted since you have told me they sold for much more than what you paid at auction, so perhaps his prices were justified.
At this point, it's a moot issue since my initial "Monkey-see Monkey-do" rush has cooled off due to me remembering I'm trying to cut-back on my purchases. Now don't get me wrong, if a copy showed up for small money of course I'd jump, it's just my initial "gotta have one" has faded into obscurity. On top of that, I think I have one already buried somewhere in my pile, (see above) and if I find it during an upcoming reorganization I will surely post it.
His stock is low currently, but you might wanted add him to your "Saved Sellers" list and go browsing from time to time, cuz he usually has lots of knives in styles and brands we like.
Thanks again!

OK TMK,
Well done, buddy!
where exactly did you come up with your "Corn Creek Cutlery"/CCC handle, Tony? There was a band once that went by the name "Creedence Clearwater Revival"/CCR 
and that seems suspiciously close to me!

I checked gonewalkaboutau store, put him in my Saved Sellers, and yes, he has some high prices! However, this may be a good reference point on knives we want to get. Right off the bat, several Japan made were there to eyeball ... good stuff!Madmarco wrote: ↑Sun Jun 30, 2024 9:40 pmThanks for your generous offer, Tony, but I think I have the situation under control.
