Don’t you just love getting Christmas presents from yourself?
My Christmas present just came in. I had to open it to make sure it was a keeper. It is!
My wife knows I got myself a “pocketknife” for Christmas… I didn’t provide any additional info., like…. IT’S A TOENAIL!!! IT’S STAG!!!! IT’S A CASE BROTHERS!!!! IT’S 100 YEARS OLD!!!
It has a few age spots, but otherwise it’s KILLER!!!
Now the question is do I make it a part of the Christmas ritual- wrapping it up and then opening it tomorrow morn? Once I unwrap it, you know what the question is going to be don’t you? “How much was it?”
The shield is engraved with Eli Faber. It was purchased from an estate in Manistee, MI.

Two knives. Good for you.
Sorry, I wasn’t able to make the URLs work in the comments.
Thanks for letting us know. I have always liked Russlocks. It would make a good EDC now wouldn’t it?

Hey Delbert-
No, I like them just the way they are… (Billy Joel song)
I will not be sending it off to have it cleaned. I will probably very carefully work on a couple of rusty spots though.
Glad you like it. I’m tickled with it (as you can tell). I have VERY few old stag toenails and this is probably the best condition one.
