Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
My favorite pattern (32) ... in buffalo horn. Was pretty beat up (somebody literally was pounding nails on the ends of the bolsters - mention of which was curiously neglected in the auction/pics, and looked like stirring green paint with it). After a couple hours of working through the sandpaper grits to get all the dings out of the ends and sides of the bolsters, wire brushing out the paint, sharpening on the lansky, digging out gobs of excess epoxy with an exacto knife where the shield was re-glued and time on the buffing wheel ... I am always dumbfounded how some people mistreat a fine knife ) ... came out darn decent. Snap on all 3 blades is really good, which is a rarity. It ranks in my top 3 best deals ever as well, which makes restoring it even sweeter ...
pffffft that's not a knife ......... now THAT'S a knife !! Crocodile Dundee

This looks to be a Keen Kutter Congress.
Will the blades open, and are they stamped?
If it is a KK, they have sold recently on eBay from between $16 and $137 depending upon condition.
Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
They open but there are no visible markings. We searched through the internet to find what it may be and the only thing close was the George wostenholm scheffield knife, or a 50's-60's Boker, a Morley sons knife.

Bolsters, bone, and shield are almost identical on one of these.
Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Found a couple of decent hoks at the flea mkt. today, a little grimey and slow on the snap but a little cleaning and oiling and they suit me fine, like I needed more ole toters.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
I got these three at the North Star Blade Collector's meeting today. I've somehow never had a R,W&B Remington, but I got one now. The other two are a Lockwood Brothers and a H.Sears Prussia whittler lockback stag. It has had the two pen blades replaced, but is still a stunning knife and will see some pocket time.____Dave

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Found this one today at an antique shop in town while waiting for my wife to have her phone fixed(don't even WANT to get into THAT story).Saw it in a case and asked the proprietor what she thought it was as I have had a nearly identical one for several years and nobody knew what it's function was. She said the vendor said it was an orange peeling knife and when I researched it today I found an identical one so described.Apparently mine is missing the little metal chute that goes through the square hole.Mystery is finally solved!
Here are pics of the one I got today(by Pfeilring) and the original one by Ed Wusthof.

Hit the flea market today and found these little critters waiting for me. A nice unsharpened Ulster scout/utility;a Colonial single blade serpentine advertising Dole bananas;a Ranger 3 back spring stockman;and an Imperial Matterhorn Swiss Army style multiblade. Five bucks each.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Picked these up at a yard sale yesterday. He started out at $20 for the Case, I left with both for $15. The Ulster 58OT needs work, but a little sharpening on the Case 3207 and it's ready for pocket time.
