The gun/knife show in Duluth Mn. this morning on a quick pass I picked up a Northfiels folding hunter, a Finnish Scout fixed with phenolic handles and amber spacers (Scout emblem on scale), an Empire large coke bottle with near full blades and needing some bone or stag scales and a lot of light cleaning, a Buck 110 1970 era stamped on reverse side Buck USA, a Catt. electricians knife and two gun butt plates. $72 for the pile. The Empire should turn out to be a great knife when I get ir rescaled and the Northfield is my favorite pattern. ____Dave

You got some fantastic knives in that pile. That Empire is really cool.

Just got back from the local flea market.....I'm amazed it's still active.....any who..

How's the snap on the barlow, Scott?

[djknife13]

Scott, the wood fixed appears to be a Scandinavian knife. They aren't much to look at but you won't find better steel than those anywhere. I cleaned up the very dirty ones I picked up at the gun show on Sat. and they show potential. I need to find someone with time to put some stag or bone on the Empire. I won several knives tonight in a locla call in auction that I pick up tomorrow. I got a Buck 110 stag with Damascus and two Kershaws. I'll post them when I get them. ___Dave

[TripleF]

Yes Dave it's a Frosts Mora laminated steel made in Sweden!

Knice haul pal!!

I picked up my auction purchases from this weekend. The Buck 110 Stag Damascus for $55 and the two Kershaws, a Blackwash 4 pc. kit and a RJ Martin both for $30. ____Dave

Dave, that Kershaw 1735 Zing looks to be in excellent condition. That's a good find. Check out the eBay sold listings. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R ... Complete=1

[djknife13]

Thanks Jerry. I didn't know anything about it when I bid except that I liked it. All three are unsharpened and the other Kershaw was still in it's bubble wrap so I was pretty pleased with the auction. I lost on a real nice Carhartt vest but I got the important stuff. ___Dave

[TripleF]

Another knice haul Dave!

I shoulda jumped on one of them Zing's when they were affordable....

Nice snag, Scott! On the handles, do you see any faint outline of a "K-TING ROPE" stamping or etch? Both of the knives I have on that frame have it stamped into the pile side handle but the older and more used example is so well-worn that you have to catch it at just the right angle to see it.

Of course, it might not be present at all -- both knives I have are serrated and I believe yours is waaay older. Maybe there's a difference versus the plain edge, or they didn't start using it til the Schrade USA days...

At any rate, your knose for knives continues to impress!

No sir!! And if there were, I steel wooled it of because this rascal was loaded with paint and grunge......Thanks!

Picked up a batch at the show today and thought I'd share 'em.
Not an offer to sell, by the way.

Apologies that they came out sideways. Maybe Jerry will stop by and get 'em upright. - Ray

[jerryd6818]

Off your phone? Easy enough to reorient before you post them.

[Paladin]

Jerry,
Thanks for the help. No, not phone but took those with my trusty Canon Rebel.

[treefarmer]

Wow! Ray, there are some nice lookin' knives in that big bunch! It'd take me 5 years to come of with that many.
