Re: Mail Call !-Post your new pick-ups here............
Very very fine bighomer.
Re: Mail Call !-Post your new pick-ups here............
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!

Indeed they are. The Old Timer needs a sharpening, but it's still very capable.

Hey mate, do you have access to the boker book?Loose Arrow wrote: ↑Thu Jun 17, 2021 10:04 pm 20210617_133027.jpg
Bid on this Barlow the other day and won it for $20.
I think I did good but don't know much about it.
The tang is stamped 493.
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.

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.

No, I don't have that book. I have some but found nothing on this knife in any of them.
Re: Mail Call !-Post your new pick-ups here............
Thanks for the comments, gents.
Here are two that I picked up specifically to add to my EDC rotation:
CRKT Blue Titanium Ripple designed by Ken Onion
Spyderco Kiwi 4 made in Japan with VG-10 steel and G-10 handle

No, I don't have that book. I have some but found nothing on this knife in any of them.
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.

Re: Mail Call !-Post your new pick-ups here............
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.
