That's a great group, Scott. I really like the Old Crafty.

The shield is the only good thing on that knife....the baldes are worn waaaaaaaaaaaaay down.

Awesome group Scott! That camo BuckTool is quite a rare piece.

I wonder if Buck will fix that 444. I understand it's no longer produced, but looking at my nearly-new example (which I got from you) appears to use the same blade as the 501, and is the same size.

Thx bro. Sold that BUCKTOOL purty quick.
Hoping they will replace the blade.....of course I'll pay.

Found these today....

Hit the flea markets again on Sunday. Not a lot of good stuff, unfortunately. I did get this one though, which is nothing like I usually find. Pretty pleased with it.

Glenn, are those handles pearl? Best I can see from that picture it looks like they could be.

Yes, pearl. I like pearl handled knives, and will collect them when they aren't broken up and the price is right. Other than a few small scuffs from blade rub, the knife appears mint, and at the right price too!

Woo Hoo baby. Can't beat one at "the right price".

Very easy to see why you're happy with that one. She's a real beauty and a real keeper. Congrats!

A new Collectibles Shop opened up in the little town just north of me. Great little shop, with all kinds of collectibles and his prices were really good, including knives. He had only three displays of knives but said he had more that he hasn't brought out yet. I will be checking in on him. These two came home with me. Needless to say, I will be visiting him often.

First a Later Double line Camillus 1047 Scout Whittler. Great shape, no cracks in the handle, blades have great snap and doesn't appear to have been put on a stone since from the factory. The only thing I've done is oil the joints and wipe it down.

Next, I picked up this Camillus Sword Brand, pattern 14 Serpentine Jack. It has the Sword Brand Tang Stamp on the mark side of the main blade and the four line Camillus Cuttlery Co. tang stamp (which was used from 1941 to 1946) on the pile side. The blades do have some stains and pits, the main blade has weak snap, the secondary pen blade has great snap, and no blade wobble with either. No cracks in the handles, and has the federal shield. I plan on giving it the warm mineral oil sauna treatment and flush it out. See if it helps the snap any.

A very nice Camillus duo you picked up!

I've been lucky so far in that all my knives with weak snap got much of it back with a little oil. The sauna treatment is something I'll have to look into.

Hello all,
Brand new here.
I recently discovered this high quality vintage 3” pocket knife. I cannot identify what brand or anything else about it. It’s a 2 blade plus leather punch in very nice condition.
Has 3 brass liners and pins used. Nicely finished and uses some kind of Mother of Pearl with a Shield inlayed. I am guessing it’s from the 50’s to 60’s.

Main Blade has 1882 and Blue Steel on bottom, with Razor Steel ghosted into side of blade.

Would really like to know more about
Thanks.

It looks like the knife was made in Japan.
Blue Steel （青鋼）is known as the highest sharpness and durability. Above the level of White Steel, Blue Steel contains smallest impurities as well as additional chrome and tungsten which makes the knives strong to wear and tear. With this mixture, Blue Steel is an ideal material for Japanese cutlery products.

Jerry I log into the site most days.I purchase very few knives these days .I keep looking at the trappers you purchase.
I heard you have to put heavier foundation under your house to take the weight of all the pocket knives you have purchased lately.
Hope you are keeping healthy and getting through this pandemic alright.

Thanks for the info Grant. The fit and finish on this knife
Is quite impressive. Must be from the Japan of the 1960’s I would therefore presume. Copy of an American brand?
