Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
At the Cambridge Mn. Antique show today from one dealer I bought a J.Primble stag folding hunter with blade etch, unsharpened, a Western 532 with deer etch, and a Case XX 2229 1/2 slick black (Tadpole), all three for $200. Later I found an antique Wyeth Hardware Mfg. Co. stag fishtale jack for $100. One the way home at a rummage sale I picked up 5 much less valuable knives mainly because they were cheap ($50 for the lot) including a mint KA-BAR USMC 100 year anniv. in a Army sheath, a Uncle Henry mint 153 UH, a decient Schrade158OT, a near mint Uncle Henry lockback in it's sheath, and a Schrade 6-OT in really good condition in a beat up sheath.____Dave

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Here's another shot of the cheapies. The 153UH sure has a nice sheath that comes with their knife. I have no idea why the USMC stamped knife come with an Army marked sheath. ___Dave

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
AAPK members find some beautiful specimens!
Here are a few (perhaps lesser) of my recent finds:
A Schrade Walden 804 that was in rough shape with a nasty melted spot and general delrin fatigue. Part of a 1 for 3 knife trade for a shiny, but worn, bone stockman from Japan. I sanded and CA glued the melted handle. It dried much darker than hoped. Your thoughts on staining the light spots would be appreciated.
A Premier bare headed celluloid jack. I liked the longpull, swedge and funky scales.
A GAK Victorinox with a tipped main blade. Less than an eighth inch was missing. I wish people would stop prying open things with thin blades!
A friend found me a great little Pal Blade Co swell end jack with nice bones.
All nice additions to my non mint eclectic collection.
I remain in awe of your finds,
MT-Vessel

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
I'll agree with Ray, that ought to keep you busy for a day or two! There appears to be several interesting ones in the pile and no doubt there will be interest in all of them.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
MT V all pretty but that first one and last one stand out to me. Both wonderful old knives. Congrats.
Scott, you got so much my eyes got tired looking! And looks like some jewels mixed in. I'll have to watch your ebay site.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Thanks doglegg. The Schrade Walden and the Pal Blade Co are the pick of the litter without question. But, for a total cash outlay of $4 Cdn for the Premier and the Victorinox I am happy to add them to my pile. One day I might get lucky and “Be Like Scott!”

Is that tortoise shell or celluloid? It’s a lovely colour either way and that’s a very useful lookin knife.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Thank you, Ann.
My understanding is that the covers are tortoise with a gold wash on the liners for background.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Joe is it marked as to maker ? For some reason it makes me think of a French knife ?
It certainly is a very fine and Fancy old knife and in top condition, a fine tribute to the skill of cutlers past.
