Wowsa, Jan! That really is candy for my aging eyes! How sweet is that! Is that yours or Donnie's?

I received my rosewood Champlin Eureka Jack today.  It is one gorgeous knife and am fortunate to have one.  Wonderful shape/size and the rosewood is among the best I have ever seen.

The knives are beautiful and I loved your analogies, also. My ex-wife would have fallen into the Terrier category. Ultimately it was my wallet that took the biggest "nip" of all. *sigh* Thankfully all of that ugliest is just a fading memory now. These days it's only my knives that give me an occasional nip.

I digress. These are fantastic, Bob! It's a shame you blokes across the pond are extorted the way you are. Good knives are expensive to begin with. Having to pay such exorbitant duty fees on top of the original purchase price seems outright criminal to me. I hope these two have no issues and that they will serve you well for many years to come.

Cheers, mate!

Ron,

Those two are for the collection and we pretty much share that category LOL.  Donnie does have a user in the stag and has diligently used it this week.  I have him committed to doing a review on the user aspects this weekend.  I can tell you already, the comfort in the hand factor is a 10!

Stanley, Glad you got yours too.  This is a piece people are going to wish they had gotten

Bob,

Like you said it is a ransom you pay!  I am glad you like them both and I think your right, different knives, feel and uses.  Cant wait to hear more after the pocket time 

Anyone in TX?  I would love to hear how the Tulsa show goes.  I know Docs Knives will be there, Bruce wrote on the board...Hey, Doc's Knife Works will be in the back, up stairs of the building. Just bringing Great Eastern Cutlery this time.

Are any other dealers attending this one?

I will be there for one day (Sat.) helping a buddy of mine.

Wish I could have made this show!

Clint, what booth will you be at?

I'm not setting up but If I don't have to work I'm going to be there. I work in Tulsa.

The booth is rented by my barber who will be selling a few guns and such.  I will just be there for support and helping with the sales.  I have worked gun shows for years and find them to be fun and you meet some nice people.

I will be there on the Saturday from mid morning to close....unless I am out of state for some reason.  Message me and I will give you my phone number.

Someone take some pics and tell us how the show is?  Next year I want to do this show!!!!

WOOOHOOO!  One escaped the ransom!

Wow, Bob! Talk about an Easter miracle! And it's a Yellow Rose, to boot! Woo Hoo!

Happy Easter! Enjoy all of your new knives, my friend!

My How time flies

Thanks Bob!  This is great info on the boys knives!

Bob...

Nice looking knife.....which could be called a manly knife.  OR....or...a large womanly purse knife.  No matter where the big bugger migrated to in your purse, you will be able to quickly find it.

I hope Bob brings us some show news

From his FB page:

That #46 whaler tidiuote cutlery of Great Eastern Cutleey very multi color cranberry wine handle and two blades. one huge whaler and One small spear on triple "P" circle model. It cost us $244.95. I did offer the person for $140.00. Then reponce me back for $200.00. I offer the person for $150.00 again. The guy seem refuse accept it. Want $200.00. I decide to the person $170.00. He attempt to ask me for $190.00. I accept it for $190.00. I purchese it. Whew!!!

Good for you, Michelle! You negotiated and ended up paying $55 less for the knife than what the seller was originally asking for. Atta girl! Now, you have to promise to take some pictures and share them with us when the knife arrives.

The smooth white bone, talks loudest to me.lol What's the age limit on a boys knife?

OOOOps, hope it can be an old girls knife too...LOL

Robert, the last time I checked 85 was the cut-off for the Boy's Knife. *grin*

If memory serves, I think it was 90 for Girls?

I am waiting patiently for the Stag and Chestnut bone 81 pattern to get here. They look great.

LOL Ron Cooper!!!!

Dick I cant wait to hear what you think of them.  I love the pattern

Whether you're a fan of the Muskrat or not,this 81 Coon Skinner is a good lookin knife!

It is!!  Nice slanted and dimpled bolsters and is that an angle of the pic Bob or does that one have a match strike pull?

Yes,Match Striker Nail Knicks

Nice looking Muskrat! I like the square bolsters for a change on a Muskrat.

Hey Guys 

The Maverick is in Germany

The burnt stag and chestnut bone 81pattern arrived today. They bear a striking resemblance  to the old Northfields.

That is very good to hear Dick, did you by any chance put up some pics?

Seems like someone was advertising a great eastern  knife that had scales that glow in the dark. I cant remember who or what it was called. I know I need one though.

Nifebrite Is what it was. I figured it out. I think one would be really cool in my display case.

There were a few made in knifebright.  I know the 15 and 65 were both done in it and I think Bob still has a few
