Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Ken,
That's is a great lookin' piece! I suppose there are all called Hobo knives? What era do you suppose that was is from?
Glen, you have some real beauties, too. The 804 is a looker!

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
I need to do some more research on the KA-BAR hobo knives but based on the stamps I'm thinking the 1930s. It's a slot knife, meaning the three utensils (knife, fork, spoon) are able to be detached into separate stand-alone pieces. Slots inside the knife hold it together when re-assembled. I normally shy away from knives I know little about but this was in great shape and he was willing to deal on it so I couldn't resist.
Im hoping there's some KA-BAR experts here that will educate me.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
In a local junk shop today and found this little Case bull nose. I am not a fan of the bull nose and obviously the previous owner was not either and reshaped the blade to something more "street" worthy. Anyway for $5.00 I couldn't pass it up. It does make a good package opener.
Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
i like it, nice utility knife. for every day use . and for $5 a steal.
Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Thanks Richard. It has definitely been personalized. Kinda hard on collector value but a useful little knife.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Didn't find any new knives today but I found something just as good on my way home. Stopped at a garage sale and lo and behold! A bunch of knife magazines and a baker's dozen of Knife World for $4.90. Plenty of good reading for awhile.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
That is more uncommon than finding knives. Great find.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Went out to the antique stores with my sister today. Nothing much to speak of cutlery-wise, but I did pick up this Cutco 1069 for $15.
It does have the sheath, which I'll have to fix the snap on.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
I went back to the hardware store today and picked up a few more NOS camillus knives. I got one of the 72's yesterday. I actually paid the prices that were on the boxes

Paul that’s a nice haul there. All of them great. But that folding hunter with sheath takes the cake.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Thanks for posting that Ray. Been wondering what my pile of old back issues of Knife World are worth - looks like about $5 a dozen! Of course, that means I have at least $200 worth.knife7knut wrote:Didn't find any new knives today but I found something just as good on my way home. Stopped at a garage sale and lo and behold!

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
That's a fantastic find Paul
Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
This just came in. Terrier Cutlery, with "Made in USA" on the back side tang of main. I have no reason to think it's a fake, but don't know a whole lot about this brand. Regardless, it only ran me $8. Where's Charlie when you need him???
