Fantastic Craig!  Put me down for a Dietmar Kressler.

Maybe I should have said "When I win the lottery I'll buy everyone a knife.......within reason."

Wednesday is here! Uh, almost here. Well, I'll be up late tonight after the money gets in the account to order knives!

So Craig, what you gonna order???

Trappers this month.

Speaking of Trappers........good article...........

http://www.knifeworld.com/ctrbytofo.html

Agreed, Craig - good article.  It is perhaps a good thing that I don't collect Trappers.

1.  The old ones are way too expensive for my taste, so I could only afford the dime-a-dozen new ones.  For a Grand, I would be looking for a fixed blade with about a 6" blade, a minimum of 3/16" thick, and "exotic" steel. Plus, I'd want to use it, and although a Tested XX trapper I might find would almost certainly be used - and expensive, I would be uncomfortable using it.

2.  The article was confusing. 

I get that the early Trappers had/have short rear bolsters, and I get the closed "C", but in that last picture with the three trappers I can't tell the top two apart.

One reason I'd never get into the old Case knives, besides cost, it would take too much studying! LOL!

The deed is done. I'm broke again.....until next month.......unless the Government decides to take all I have by then.

So Craig, share with us what you got......

Panama Trapper - Ebony

Standard 54 Trapper - Pocket Worn Bermuda Green

Tiny Trapper  - Pocket Worn Bermuda Green

Tiny Trapper - "Crandall Cutlery" Caramel Bone

Great additions to your collection Craig - Congrats

Thanks! Should be here any day.

Thinking about next month. Got a couple in mind. If this order gets me all excited, I'll probably stick with Trappers for some time. 

I need to get one of these.....I like those Long Tail "C" knives.

New knives!!

New knives here............

I have one more coming. The dealer was temporally out of stock, so I'll be getting it later sometime.

I like Dark Molasses Barn Board. Next month..........

That's a good looking little knife.

Yeah, I like the Dark Molasses Barnboard (barn board?) I have the Copperhead and 032 Stockman in it. I need more.

Yes, that Dark Molasses is sure beautiful.

Here's a picture of Max's Slimline in the Dark Molasses Barmboard.......

I need the Red Barnboard too......

Been in a little bit of a rut since I got out of the hospital. Today I decided to get out of it and made a stop on the way home for a new edc.So I bought 2. Love the buffalo horn. It makes me growl just like the stag does.

Those look really good lee! I still need to get one or two in Buffalo Horn.

My latest Case:

Lee...Great looking knives.  I live the horn and the patterns.  Good to hear you are out of the hospital and living it large.

Lee, Glad you're home and gettin' around a bit and those new EDC's are spectacular! That Panama Trapper is too cool!

Fine lookin' stag on that Copperhead!

Nice one Ken! That's "natural" pocket worn! LOL!

Glad you're back and kicking Lee.....and buying knives again!

I'm even back to work started Monday. I'm moving a little slower but the guys I work with are helping me with the heavy stuff. Weekend after next we are heading back to Missouri for the celebration in the Ozarks. Really looking forward to meeting Tony Bose.

Take it easy and enjoy your knives. It's therapeutic to play with knives.

Sometimes my Back hurts and I have to take it easy for awhile, but I can always fool with knives. Take it easy Lee.

Anyone get any of the Ginger Ale Bone yet? I need a couple.

Craig, you come up with some of the most beautiful handles on those trappers. "Ginger Ale Bone" - now I have something else to look for.

These are fairly new for Case. Haven't been out too long. The Ginger Ale isn't real flashy, but I think it's a nice subdued golden brown.

Brand new from Case - Blue Lagoon Jigged Bone - Due in November, BUT, some patterns are hitting dealers shelves early.......like NOW! I'm getting the Trapper.

I'm holding out for an Old Red CCC Sway Back Jack.

Do you have any Swayback Jacks Paul?

7 or 8 I think...It's one of my primary carry patterns. 

Gotta couple of those Bermuda greens.

That's a pretty one Jan!

7 or 8? Geez Paul, I have one! LOL! I really need to get a Gent for carry and collection. 

I'm thinking about these Gents. I'm leaning towards the red.

Originally I was drawn to the barehead models, but I've found the capped models to feel better overall in my hand.

I had a red bone Gent, but traded it away.  Gotta have a smaller secondary on my EDC knives.

I'm carrying my Tiny Trapper in my coin pocket, so the Gent will be for bigger blade jobs.

Now you have me thinking about barehead vs non-barehead more. Hmmm.......
