I can attest to the fact that bright handle covers can be very practical. I leave an orange copper lock in the kitchen/dining area that is impossible to misplace and gets used multiple times a day e.g. mail, food packaging, boxes. Wherever area the knife is moved to it is readily/instantly found. In the past, darker covered knives often required a search and rescue operation. Also some bright colors make for a more interesting display.

Went out looking for a vintage desk for my son's apartment and at one shop I asked the owner if he had any pocket knives for sale. He said that he had a box in his workshop of knives he's gotten it lot purchases at auctions over the years. These will all be available soon in my AAPK store.

Both Sundog and I realized that we were suffering from withdrawal symptoms as neither of us had bought a knife in the past several weeks. So yesterday we went prowling around several of our local antique malls. Sundog picked up a real nice Camillus EZ open jack and I found the 3 pictured below.

A. W. Wadsworth & Son, Germany bone handled whittler. It has the usual whittler layout with the tapered back, but instead of 2 smaller pen blades, one of them is a double sided file.

Challenge Cut. Co. Bridgeport Conn. teardrop jack with ebony handles.
IMG_2305.JPG
Union Cut.Co. Olean NY ebony jack that needs a little work. Has a small chip out of the mark side handle and has had an "electrical problem".

I also ran across a knife that some one had "doctored. It was tagged as an acorn knife, but actually it was a Kutmaster cattle knife that had the Federal shield modified to look like the Remington acorn, and the Kutmaster tang stamp ground off. What some people won't do to make a buck. Glad I learned about such things here on AAPK. Unfortunately I did not take a picture of it.

Another one Sundog and I ran across the other day at the antique mall that just struck both of us as ODD!!! It is a large kitchen knife that has a FUNERAL HOME ad on it. Neither of us bought it.

My two scores today(FINALLY!). Been having a dry spell of late and this was a welcome change.
The figural shoe knife is by Lenox Cutlery Germany and has very unusual cel handles. Cost me $10.
The brass handled knife is a Humason & Beckley and has a pretty full blade. That one cost me $3.00.

Got this little Corn Knife from my brother in law from his folks estate sale. It is marked R KLASS, Prussia. I suppose this means it was made before WW2. R KLASS was a razor company in Prussia then. It lookes like it was well used.

That's a dandy corn knife!


I hit a couple antique stores today. There were some knives, but not really alot of what I like. I picked these up because the price was right.

The Okapi is pretty cool, I didn't have one of these. The black knife is a Kutmaster. I do not think it is a cobbled piece, but the blade combo is interesting. The bottom one is a Richter, a real tank, and despite it's condition, I couldn't pass it by. I also picked up the hammer, I really need another one of those. :roll:

finds 8-17-18-1.jpg

This Buck 303 I believe may be from their custom shop. It's a synthetic covers, but basically a new knife, unused.

Thanks Glenn, and those are some interesting pick ups. Okapi always catches my eye. The bones on the Richter are pretty fabulous. ::tu::

Home from the North Star Blade Collectors meeting with these. A Remington RH 405 in what I think is it's original sheath and I believe is a early fairly rare Remington, an 1845 to 1870's George Woodhead ebony jack, an Ulster fancy celluloid whittler, a red celluloid LF&C jack with Universal still etch on the blade, and on the way home from an antique shop, a 1915 era John Watts Sheffield pearl with full blades and like new snap.____Dave
