A great matching set, bighomer!

I got two Littluns in the mail today. First is a Camillus 21. The master blade will have to be sharpened if I want to carry it, but it sure is nice to look at.

The second is a Schrade 104OT. It's not as pretty as the 21, but it's presentable...and it's in my pocket!

Bid on this Barlow the other day and won it for $20.
I think I did good but don't know much about it. ::shrug::
The tang is stamped 493.
Hey mate, do you have access to the boker book?
I can pm you pics of what I find in dare, if you wish.

Lovely bone on it, and the price was second to non!
Good score. ::tu::

Killer S&M, love the colorful rams horn. And killer Canal St. love the stag and the knife in general. Great pair. Western is cool too.

By my rough estimates, I'd safely say '70's-80's manufacture.
Boker's been making this exact one since the end of WWII, so narrowing it down is difficult.
Bolster engraving is one clue to dating, as is the long key pull.
Could you snap a close up on the stamping mate, that'll help even further.

I can see why you picked up that Spyderco. Should be a most excellent carrier. I believe all Spyderco knives with VG-10 come out of Japan; my three (soon to be one) did.
