The Christmas Catalog
Oh boy, I just received the new Shepherd Hills Christmas catalog! There are some really beautiful knives in there. I’m not talking about the great array of mammoth ivory or pearl or exotic handle materials – there are some new designs and new treatments. The first thing to catch my eye was the five blade trappers. Five blades on a trapper is a little much, but these were full size and they had the Cigar Band type of shield.

Do they call the five-blade trapper "the Beast"? Case had a peanut out some years back called the Beast.I always intended to filework one just for fun but never got around to it.The trapper is a bigger "canvas" to work on.I will try to get some time to post pics of some of my work ASAP. The hliday has put me behind and wore me out.

- I'm not supposed to lend any iRetailer any president over another but that is one hell-of-a -catalog!
They have and deserve a great following especially for the "exclusives".
I have more comments on my photo of the Case Easter Canoe from Shepherd Hills than I do any other knife.
Good Man!

- Rusty, i noticed from your photos the wood scales like my Case knives. I also noticed you have a lot more wood Case! that are great! Nice Collection! Wellcome aboard.... This is a great forum and great people!
I use to ride Harley's, and I met some of the greatest folks... It's the same in the knife family, most all are great, honest, "home-folk"
Enjoy!

VERY NICE!
My newest Tactical knife is a Strider SnG CC (you can see more pics in my photo album)
I really like the knife, but now I've got a bad case of "Strider Thumb" from breakng it in, LOL.
Thanks Jakub. I'm not sure when my Stryker was made, but it was "Pre-D2 Steel" and also "Pre-154CM Steel". My Stryker uses M2 High Speed (M2HS) steel.
A new Blade configuration from GEC on the Congress (pic shamelessly "borrowed" from my buddy at Greg - TSAknives.com).
For those that like a Spear this might be the one you were waiting on.
