What fantastic scales on those, Glenn!glennbad wrote: ↑Thu Jul 29, 2021 8:46 pm I recently got this in from Roland, a Schrade 735 with a Ted Williams etch on the blade. I was pretty excited about it, as I have another just like it, and thought it was kind of a unicorn.

There was also a nice Camillus riggers knife as part of the package. Don't have pics of that. Also, Roland was generous enough to also include a few Schrade knives with possibilities in for nothing.

Picked up another Beretta "Trident" liner-lock Wharncliffe; this one has a Cocobolo wood handle.

Q that monkey either has gotten a girl friend or is quite eclectic in its taste. Cool knife.
Re: Mail Call !-Post your new pick-ups here............
Very nice knife ~Q~. Let me ask you, are the Beretta knives getting a jump in popularity or could it be I'm noticing them more because I picked one up recently.

Fished this Camillus DeLuxe out of the bay recently. I especially like the milled liners and also the fact it has the no line tang stamp. More pics in the Camillus forum. Thanks for looking.
Re: Mail Call !-Post your new pick-ups here............
I think they're pretty much like any modern factory produced knife in that some of the "discontinued" patterns (like the Trident) occasionally show up on eBay and often it seems that several show up at the same time. I don't know why this is, but it does seem to be a pattern. And, also, if you're like me, after I purchase a particular knife, I suddenly feel as though I'm seeing that knife a lot...but it may just be because my attention is more focused on that particular knife so I tend to notice it more even though it has probably always been there and I never really took much notice of it before. Same thing happens to me with cars I'm interested in...suddenly I start noticing that model everywhere...even on TV commercials that I never paid any attention to previously.
A lot to like about that knife, Floyd...I especially like the long pull on the master clip blade...now that's what I call "DeLuxe" !

Roughly analogous to a flea market. The Stag in particular cleaned up real nice. Good save!

Re: Mail Call !-Post your new pick-ups here............
Not sure if I should put this one in the Seki thread or not. When I bought it, the seller said it was made in the USA. But after I got it, I think it looks Seki made or at least the parts were sourced from Japan. The handles look a lot like an Al Mar made by Moki. The bolsters look just like the bolsters on my A. G. Russell Seki made lockbacks from the same time frame that this was made, see last photo.

Re: Mail Call !-Post your new pick-ups here............
That was exactly my first thought when I saw your photos: Seki made. I don't know anything about your 1989 Ka-Bar Dolphin, Mark, except that it's a fine looking piece; just stunning, really. Love it! Great score!Sharpnshinyknives wrote: ↑Thu Aug 05, 2021 10:33 pm...I think it looks Seki made or at least the parts were sourced from Japan. The handles look a lot like an Al Mar made by Moki.
