I hear'ya Toby! I love my new Case and Queens. Everything is going for them....not enough for everyone.

My new years resolution for 2013...

My globals (that is knives made in China, Pakistan, or other country by a US company) vs non-Globals currently is at 184 (global) to 144 (non global) This means my self imposed limit of buying  3 non globals to every 1 global has not been strictly adhered to. Curse you Rough Rider! 

Why such a limitation?  Because if I keep buying $10-15 globally made knives, I'll never save up for the Case/Victorinox knives I really want.  No more impulse buys. The new ratio is 6 non-globals for every global.  This time no excuses until I have an equal number of each then I'll go two non-globals for every global.  Let's see how long this resolution last! (And the answer is no!  I can not just give/sale 40 globals to so I have an even number. I must buy at least 42 non global knives before I can go to the 2/1 buying scheme)

Fortunately I have about 15 Victorinox Swiss Army Knife I'm looking at right  now and while they may be an imported knife, they are a product of Swiss company and are made in Switzerland so they are imported but not a "Globally produced" knife by my definition. 

Plus I have at least 20 Case knives I'm looking at including that new sodbuster in Amber bone.  And then there is that New Camillus Bushcrafter, and then the Ontario TFI,  the Beck Necker,  the Buck Punk... you get the idea.  Too much steel, not enough dough! And definitely not enough dough if I keep spending on inexpensive (albiet, well made) global knives.

What's wrong with this picture?  The answer I was looking for.

The Combat Infantry Badge is awarded to Active Duty Soldiers serving in the United States Army  who personally fought in active ground combat while an assigned member of either an infantry or a Special Forces unit, of brigade size or smaller, any time after 6 December 1941.  You actually need to be in a U.S. Army Infantry Unit  in Combat to receive the award.

Of all the pictures Jim Frost and Company could've chosen for this display box, for some reason they went with a an iconic photo of two Marines in active combat on Guadalcanal. These Marines are ineligible for a CIB as they are MARINES and not U.S. Army INFANTRY!

The Marines are awarded a Combat Action Ribbon.

A better view of the picture. Frost used.

Ivars

  I hope you can show us a carving knife. A nice  carving knife  is needed for my collection too.

An interesting observation Craig, but I was thinking of something else that is wrong.  Any other guesses?

Strange blades. Looks like they came from a Copperhead. A clip should be in front and a spey in back.

What's wrong with this picture?  Cutlery Corner/Frost is pushing this "Combat Infantry Trapper" in this special gift box.  I know the picture is small but can any one tell me what's wrong with it?
