Mail Call...New arrivals.

Since I have contracted EDC-OCD, I have bought a knife weekly. This blog should help me keep track of the incoming items starting 5/21/2013.

5/21/2013 - Today it is a Uncle Henry / Schrade+ / U.S.A. 144

This is a beauty, lightly used and well cared for. Polished the brass up a little.

5/28/2013

Today's arrival is a 2009 Buck 110 purchase inspired by Ron Coopers lovely purchase earlier this month. I had been watching the knife he bought on eBay and decided to forego bidding because I had allotted my money to the 144UH in the above pictures. But seeing the 110 so soon afterwards, here, on this site, was more then I could bear. So I perused eBay for another and this one was the best of the lot.

Schrade U.S.A. 153UH - Near Mint condition. Even the stone hasn't been used. Very nice.

Corneta Wotan - from Cesar in Brazil. This is a beast of a knife, weighing in at 14.2 oz without the sheath, 6" blade and 11" over all. The Hollow ground 1/4" thick 52100 Ball Bearing steel blade(56-58 HRC) has a drop forged integral double guard that is very well formed and smoothly radiused into the ricasso. The Kraton handle is as non-slip as you can get. The ballistic nylon sheath is ambidextrous due to the hilt strap is on a pivoting rivet. I can see why the Brazilian Special Forces commissioned this design, It is fantastic. This knife is now in my Ready bag.

6/10/2013 - ZT 0560 Trade through BF.

I won a 153UH over the weekend. It appeared to be in very nice condition and is not a "Schrade+" but a regular Schrade U.S.A. Hope to have it by next Monday.

Comment by Brad T. on May 23, 2013 at 10:50: Well, I lost the auction for the Franklin, NC Golden Spike. But I have another bid on one that is not a "Schrade+". That auction is not over until the 26th.

Featured Comment by Craig Henry on May 23, 2013 at 0:39: Cool! I'll be anxious to see it! I loved my Golden Spike!

I just put a bid on one coming out of Franklin, NC. It is a Schrade+, so I will max that bid to account for $45 shipped.

As a matter of fact, I have a few of those on my eBay watch list right now.

Featured Comment by Craig Henry on May 22, 2013 at 0:06: Nice one! I always did like those. Feels good in the hand. But I'd have to say, one of, if not the, most favorite Schrade fixed blades to me (besides the Sharpfinger) is the 153UH. Do you have one of those yet Brad?
