You can tell it's gonna be a good day...

...when you open your mailbox to find two of those familiar shaped boxes that usually contain -

NEW KNIVES!

Yippee Skipee!!!

Look what my mail carrier just left for me...

As you can see there is a 2 Dot (one on either side of the model #) Buck 110 with some really sweet looking scales, and in exceptional condition for a knife that was made between 1974 & 1980.

And then there is a knife that I have been in pursuit of for quite some time -- The Weidmannsheil Copperlock, Tricklock, with some gorgeous stag handles. I had one of these in my hands about a year and a half ago and let it slip right through my fingers. It was at the Southern California Blades Annual Show in Pasadena back in 2012 and I thought that I would return to get it later in the day and it was gone! I have been on the prowl for this knife ever since. I lucked out and got this one, New In Box, in a recent Ebay auction, as I also did with the Buck 110.

I am extremely pleased with both of these knives! And to have them both arrive at the same time, on the same day, is an especially sweet bonus and a clear-cut signal that this is gonna be a great day!

Color me HAPPY!!!

Comment by Jan Carter on May 15, 2013 at 17:41: Well it even makes MY day when you get new knives. That Buck has some of the best scales I have seen on one. Congrats

Comment by Ron Cooper on May 15, 2013 at 17:00: Max, the Tricklock is in absolutely perfect condition. It had only been taken out of the box for photographs by its previous owner. The one I held in my hand a year earlier was in good shape but it had been used and didn't have a box. I'm glad I didn't get that one, now that I have this one. The stag is beautifully matched on both sides.

I'm running out the door right now but hope to get some photos up later this evening - time permitting?

Cheers, mate!

Well done!!

Comment by Brad T. on May 15, 2013 at 16:40: Aye!

'tis a grand day whenever the post is bearing boxes as opposed to bills.

Featured Comment by Craig Henry on May 15, 2013 at 16:10: Wow Ron, two great knives! The stag on that Weidmannsheil is beautiful! And that's one of the nicest looking Buck 110s I've seen! You made my day better just by being able to see them.
