KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Pretty nice finds, David. I'm not big into Barlows, but I'd make an exception for the Gene Autry. And the little Sears pen(?)...one could probably go crazy just chasing after old knives marked Sears!

The fillet knives are from Chetek area shop, the one with LCO in oval is from a fellow name ofEd who lives up by us and married a lady from the Ojibwa nation , the LCO , is the Lac Courte Orielles . Picked up the Western and MARTINI for 30 bucks for both ,got 40 in the other .

And a Schrade Walden 293 in tube and another unknown pic knife . Seen the old 2 blade in a rusty box of wrenches and got for .50 cents plus tax of course!!!Cleaned up ok, can’t read tang stamp ,any help on the unknowns would be great. Will post the ones in ? In the Q and A section .
Thanks for taking a look . Hope you all find things in your travels,there still out there !

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Ya done good JP. Awesome find on the 293. Great condition that one. The orange and black one is neat, can't recall if I've seen that mark.Ripster wrote: ↑Thu May 20, 2021 5:36 pm Here’s a few picked up to and fro the cabin up by Hayward !

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Picked this one up last weekend. Finally had a chance to fix it today. Shield popped out. Glued it up, polished er and good to go. Etch is an added plus and does not appear to have ever been used or sharpened. Anyone know what date range of manufacture? I'm thinking 60's but not a Boker expert.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
This was truly a knife find of the day. Cheryl has been in her Mom's (Vera) room trying to clean things out and figure out what to do with all her belongings. Cheryl came across this little knife that her Mom had been hanging onto ever since her Husband (Jim) passed away in 2014.
It's a Schrade Walden NY USA. Jim was a court reporter and he carried this little knife every day to court until he retired in 1991. It's not much, but it holds some special memories.

Thank you gentlemen. I'll do a little cleaning on it and make sure my inventory notes document it's history. One day the kids and grandkids will be able to say that was my Papa Jim's knife.treefarmer wrote: ↑Wed May 26, 2021 2:11 am Floyd, I'll have to comment a hearty Southern Baptist "Amen" to your comment on Davids new knife!

Scott, that Wharncliffe fixed blade is just screaming for some of your para-cord magic on the handle.

Glad to hear it Scott. Just out of curiosity I checked my records.
I have purchased at least 24 knives from you. Now that your back in the game hopefully I can purchase many more.
