Tim, I try to pick up any as long as they are not really beat. I am a folder guy at heart but I also love fixed blades. I think I am liking them more as I get older. Any pics of the one you found today?

Here ya go Gino, I've also included a pic of a custom made that I found a while back. It appears to be a factory blade, but I really like the way it feels in my hand. The brass gaurd(if you can call it that) has the letters "JRL" on one side and "WV"(West Virginia) on the other. I have no idea who made it. Thanks, Tim

Thanks everyone for the pics,I thought I'd post a few of mine for everyone to enjoy. Songsingingman
One of these is a pal,the three with stag handles are craftsman ( big one ) one has a cammillus blade and the other I'm not sure about. The reason I know the one with the blood groove is a callimus is because he'd used the guard on another knife and I realised
what it was. In the other picture is a couple of cases, 2 remington,a bear and sons bowie,hand made one,a buck 119. Hope you like.

Yes the fixed blades are my favorites, I like the big ones but the smaller ones 6 inches and under ( blade length ) are more useable.
Still ever one needs a bowie knife or 2.

Wow that Buck is one bad lookin' knife! Looks like it's built like a tank for sure, meant for some heavy duty use. Sheath looks nicely worn in as well, love that style of sheath for easy access, great find!

Miller Bro`s:
Here is one I snagged a week or so ago. Not cheap but not wallet breaking either. I have shown to a few collectors. A couple were open enough to suggest possibly from the 1800's.
Their opinion was led by the way the blade attaches to the horn. It is a swedge fit expanding mount, operated by the two V shaped blocks next to horn. Four hole ares drilled or punched through horn and a soft metal is driven through them to secure the mount and blade. You might note the four larger holes situated around handle at 90 degree points, they have been inlet-ted after the through holes were drilled. Two of the inlets are round one is square and one is Heart shaped. At one time I believe these were probably filled to edge with the soft metal, three have broken and fallen out. The story behind knife was. Seller looked to be in mid 60's, he said it was his Grandpa's and that he always referred to it as his Frontier Knife.
