KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY

[jerryd6818]

You might want to consider having one of our several knife mechanics put some new covers on the knife. Spiff it up a bit. Sure not going to hurt the value.

That is indeed a great find!

Pawn shop finds a Colonial Camp master for two bucks then two HKS speed loafers for ten bucks

[Theo]

Clean her up and throw her in yer pocket great carry

Don't know if it could handle that , if you look at the plastic scales it is cracks all over them both sides. I could spin the handles and clean the outside liners, then ultragel lock tight super glued them back. I was very lucky the handles didn't fall apart......but they didn't till one little piece popped when clamping it together, got it back in place Might just might just make some handles

That sounds like a good plan Jerry, doesn't matter how long it takes and they are probably all backed up with work.

A gentleman at church knows I like pocket knives and gave me this little Colonial Prov. USA stockman today. Love it when a surprise comes my way. Has Patent 3,317,996 on it as well. He said he found it in a jar of nuts and bolts and thought i might like it. I do and appreciate his kindness!

[Dan In MI]

Great finds, garddogg and woodwalker!

Good looking Forest Master Dogg, Those are solid knives with good blade steel, yours looks like it's in pretty good shape, can't go wrong for 2 bucks.

Woodwalker that was mighty thoughtful of your friend to gift you that little Colonial. The handles on it remind me of a little Anvil brand stockman that I have, which was also made by Colonial.

Thanks Mike! Very nice gentleman at church. Always appreciate thoughtful people. He will be gifted something in return.

They are good knives for hunting bag for Grandkids.

Played a little show in Denton, MD with an old friend of mine from Gatchellville ,PA. He brought me this BROCH & Co, NY , 2-1/2" , "shadow" pen. It's in near-mint condition, un-resharpened and shiny. Eleven tiny stars, possibly silver, inlaid in the mark side scale. The pile side scale looks like ivory but the mark side has remains of a few very small capillaries so I'm guessing it's white bone on both sides. Levine says Broch was an importer of German knives c.1885. That's pre-tariff so it's not marked "Germany". First one I've ever seen or heard of. If anyone has any more info on BROCH & Co. I'd appreciate hearing it. Thanks, J.O'.

Beautiful knife and amazing craftsmanship.

Thank you, woodwalker!

I have to wonder if it left the factory that way? Regardless, it's a very neat and interesting old knife!

[Ridgegrass]

Thanks Dan.. Maybe a jeweler's specialty item. They are very evenly done. Can't find much on the BROCH Co. other than an importer ?? I don't own a Goins so....... J.O'.

Oh, I don't know. I think you did pretty good. Depends on what you're using for a ruler. (what you're comparing it to)

[royal0014]

Slim pickens today...

Not too shabby I say. Those Buck Wenger's aren't real common.
What is the little feller beside it, with the bail ??

[dlr110]

An excellent find to me....

[JamieinWV]

Well not sure these finds were me finding them as much as they found me.. At the show this weekend these came to my booth for trades or purchase. I guess 1 Bulldog, 3 Bokers and 9 Case XX

There sure is some good stuff in that bunch! What is the equal ender above the SAK?

Another great group! Just curious here: the one Copperhead looks like a 1980, but what is the other one?

[JamieinWV]

Well Dan after moving the blade in every possible position, it appears to be 6 dot 1974 carbon

[Dan In MI]

Thanks, Jamie!

Must be meant to be since they came to you, Jamie! Nice bunch there!
