KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY

[zoogirl]

I got a couple of oddballs today.
The first one is a dagger, made in Pakistan, that my son’s buddy was going to toss out with a bunch of junk. The kid rescued it and passed on to me.
The second is a silver, plated, I assume, CN Rail dinnerknife which has been filed into a shiv!
I don’t even want to know...

By the logo, it’s 1960 or later. I can just imagine some guy grabbing it in a boxcar or something and giving it a little modification. I got it at a Talize (like Value Village) and paid $.20 for it. A bargain! It’s actually pretty sharp and surprisingly heavy.
The sheath was from the same friend of the kid. I suppose it’s for throwing knives. Solid leather and quite well made.

A strange haul but kinda cool!

Interesting knives Ann, the kind that if price is low i find hard to resist. You are definitely a besotted knifer, as am i.

[zoogirl]

Yeah, I am! Oh and I sure can’t beat the price on these. Free and twenty cents!

Here are a couple I picked up yesterday at my local antique shop. Slim pickins but a couple bucks a piece I couldn't resist. I think the tang says Simmons Hardware on the red one. I could be wrong. Hard to read. And the little silver one I believe is a watch fob knife after researching here on AAPK. It has MSR Co on the bail and main. Thanks for looking.

I quite like the pattern on the red, but that fob makes my little heart go pitterpat! I’ve taken to nabbing that type along with my Richards. I call them ‘jewelry knives’. It’s lovely!

Well today I got a few for the first time in awhile.Not too bad.
First is a Camco single blade fish knife that the liner lock was bent on(easy fix)and some curling of the front part of the handles(black composition)due to dirt piling up under them.Straightened the lock and pulled up the handles(they are pressed onto projections made from piercing the liners and bending them up)and cleaned it out and set them back in position with a little CA adhesive.$5.
Second was a Gerber Bolt Action with a gut hook blade that needed nothing. $10.
Third was a tiny Sharp folder with imprinted scrimshaw of two ducks.$7.
Fourth was a similar sized lock back by GPI of Japan with real scrimshaw in color(!) for the same price.
Last was a Hyde utility knife with wood handle(an older model)for $4.

I snatched this little copperhead today at the local pawnshop. I thought it was the same color as a little gunstock I have, but it looks different when they are together.. neither of them have a box, so does anybody have some idea of what series/color it is?

Maybe this will help. You could always contact Case and ask.

[Jporter1974]

Thanks Jerry, that will put some light on the subject ~jp

Very rarely see anything good a local flea markets. Last Saturday I picked up a couple of Premier knives for reasonable prices.

[zoogirl]

Interesting scales on the little pen. What is the material?

They would be celluloid, patterned to resemble horn.

[knifegnome]

Pick up a couple knives.Schrade Walden double switch,with great snap and some original Finnish..Utica Pocket Pard,nice cond. With some etch, but file blade broken,got the box a couple months ago.searchong for a nicer knife.

[knifegnome]

Not a knife,but I like knife boxes.It's rough but the first Press Button box I have.

[doglegg]

Great finds kg

[zoogirl]

Well, today’s haul is sad, at best. Three Richards, a little fob or gentlemans and a ‘credit card’ tool holding a pretty big surprise.

Here’s the whole lot. The large silver one is a Richards that has what seems to be aluminum scales. I think the blade pin has been replaced. The guy threw in the green Richards for free. It’s missing a big chunk of the front side scale. Maybe I’ll invest in some green nail polish!
The little silver Richards is the twin to one I already have. This one is missing it’s bail. I got it to throw in my change purse. It occurred to me that my EDCs include everything but a Richards!
I was pretty surprised when I pulled the blade out of the credit card. Compared to the bit of edge you usually get on something like this, that knife is huge!
Well, there they are. Perhaps more tomorrow?!

[Twhite]

Found these 2 at the swap meet today.
Boker Germany whittler good walk and talk all blades. Main blade has som miles on it but should take a nice edge. and a minty Kabar 1100 stockman factory grind on all blades still

[zoogirl]

Nary a Richards in sight, except a truly distressed grey celluloid that I already have. However, I didn’t walk away empty handed!
We got out too late for Abbotsford and had to settle for the Cloverdale swap, not that there’s anything wrong with Cloverdale. Anyway, I’ve been eyeing this little Ruho fixed for some time but didn’t like the price. Since it was the end of the day, the seller dropped the price by a third, without me even asking, and off we went!
I’ve bought knives from the vender before, at full price. I think he was just wanting to get what he could and go home.
Here she is! I don’t think the sheath is original, but it’s always nice to have one.
By the way, it does seem to be Ruho, not Ruko. I had a look at my Ruko and the lettering is different and I’m sure it’s an ‘h’ not a ‘k’.

Not a knife,but I like knife boxes.It's rough but the first Press Button box I have.

I hope that is a very sturdy box.
I just came across the first Press Button Knife ever for me & this thing is a beast. The backspring looks like it's about 1/4" thick.

Still pops open too !! halfway , anyway.

Found this CASE knife at a pawn shop earlier

[Baykeeper]

Found this Camillus 5" BSA Folding Hunter w/serrated secondary blade with separate lock at a local thrift today. I really like the serrated blade and single bolster, jigged bone handles are nice too.

[jerryd6818]

Syd, that's a saw blade. And your knife is a great pickup.
