A friend at work gave me this one yesterday, a Schrade Walden H-15. Nothing fancy but a nice knife.I have no idea when it was made.

Re: American Made Hunting & Fishing Fixed Blade Knives
Nothing spectacular, just what was on the bench. Sorry about the pics, new camera won't work with the old light box so I had to improvise.
Some Western B&Ts
Some smaller Western B&Ts; actually the top one is an SFO for Coast Cutlery
Two post-war Western 46-5s; the bottom one is marked for the BSA
KaBar B&Ts
Remington Rh-24s (one of my favorite B&Ts)
Marbles, Expert and Ideal
Robeson (top) and unknown B&Ts
As you might guess, I've got a bit of a fondness for Bird and Trout patterns!

Quality should not be an accident. So what is the explanation for some of the knives we've seen in the past few years? (from A Knifebuyer's Manifesto)

Miller Brothers, you have a tough act to follow. I will post a few anyway. Here is a homemade rack of scrap with some of my Schrade 165's. Yes, they are all different.

Here are some Ruanas. I had to give the old M stamp to a lifelong friend who lost his 30 years ago, and he's been whining ever since.

This pair was made by Bob Young, the shop foreman for forging and grinding at Gladstone before they closed. Buffalo horn on old Ideal blades. If I ever work up the nerve to open an AAPK store, these will be in there.

Re: American Made Hunting & Fishing Fixed Blade Knives
An American product I picked up this morning. The blade does not appear to be altered, Made from mid to late 60's. I think this is a cats tongue handle not the armor hide.

Re: American Made Hunting & Fishing Fixed Blade Knives
WoW! that is an unusual one WB
Never seen a Gerber like that one before, blade looks original and hardly used to me.
Even the sheath is very nice, good find

Re: American Made Hunting & Fishing Fixed Blade Knives
Thanks: Here are a couple of nice ones. A Frank Richtig and a 49 or 50 Gerber Shorty. I will in the following post show an original 1948 Shorty in as close to mint as I have seen.

Re: American Made Hunting & Fishing Fixed Blade Knives
It is from 1948 the first year of production of their Shorty. The first totally designed from scratch hunting knife they manufactured. The sheath is original for the knife.

Re: American Made Hunting & Fishing Fixed Blade Knives
Mossdancer, your knives are very nice to look at. What a lesson in history. Thanks for showing those.
It's one more thing to look out for. (how will I remember all this)
Here is my Gerber Mini-Magnum that I carried for years. The one pictured is #2.
I was visiting my sister in Portland and being young and dumb and full of a willingness to abuse a decent knife blade, I broke mine. I went to Gerber. They replaced it; no questions asked. They probably didn't want to hear another stupid story.
Somewear around 1974?????????

Re: American Made Hunting & Fishing Fixed Blade Knives
Before I got into folders several years ago, fixed blades were my favorites and I still like them a lot. I don't do the old knives but can I play anyway?
A couple of guys in my hooch in Viet Nam had Randalls. I was very impressed by their performance and wanted one. In 1978 I found a brand new Model #8 Trout & Bird in a local gun shop. It was affordable so this is my token Randall. I've told the story about buying a Ka-Bar from a guy that worked in supply when I was stationed at 29 Palms (brand new, never used) and then having it stolen from my wall locker. I still wanted a "Ka-Bar" so sometime in the '70s I bought this Camillus from a local Army Navy Surplus store. Marked U.S. over Camillus.
Since that time, I've added three Ka-Bars, a Case and an Ontario. (not shown)
I wish I had bought more Effingham Blackjacks when they were still $30-$50.
And more EK Commandos when they were $25-$30 a pop.
I paid too much for this old Queen but what the heck did I know.

Re: American Made Hunting & Fishing Fixed Blade Knives
These Gladstone Marbles are hair splittin' sharp right out of the box. I like 'em.
I got my Western L39 in 1957, at almost exactly the same time T.J. got his and in the same way. Green Stamps or Plaid Stamps or maybe it was Top Value Stamps, my mother collected all of them. I broke it in about 1959 and Dale fixed it for me last year.
