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.

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.

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.

Never seen a Gerber like that one before, blade looks original and hardly used to me.

Even the sheath is very nice, good find ::tu::

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.

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.

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?????????

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.

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.
