KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Wow, what a great haul of cutlery. Is that meeting in the Twin Cities?[/quote]
Yeah, it's in the twin cities and I come home every month with a similar haul for very good prices. One of our members bought out a few collections, one of which was a good sized Ulster collection, and is selling them off to get his money back fairly quickly. There is plenty for me to share and I left a lot of really good knives for any of you who would wander in. We'd love to have more attending. I paid $150 for the whole lot yesterday. We meet every third Saturday.____Dave

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Found at an Antique shop yesterday; a rare Damascus Cutlery swell end fat jack (circa 1890) made for Baker and Hamilton of Calif. for a whopping 5 bucks. Levine says they were made by either Eclipse or New Haven Cut. It has a lot of miles but still has snap and a fair amount of blade left. The other was a Buck 705A that was tipped on the main blade but was also cheap so I picked it up. ____Dave

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
I think some fisherman should be happy with that good looking filet knife and sheath.
Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Antique shop finds this week. The Damascus Cut. I posted earlier, a H.sears and a case I picked up today. The sears doesn't appear to have ever been used or sharpened but has some light pitting from being stored somewhere it shouldn't have been. Otherwise it's perfect. ___Dave
Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Really cool finds. I especially like the fixed blade.

Hey TF, that carving knife needs one of these to go with it...

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Went to the flea market in Cleveland that has been pretty good to me.
Found from top to bottom.
Case XX small stockman with a tipped Wharncliffe
Kabar small stockman with a tipped main
unknown pen (until I get to my loupe)
Northrup Kung jack only says USA on the tang
Camillus equal end stockman with a badly tipped pen or spey blade
All Carbon steel except the Jack which I'm sure is SS.
Gave $43 for all 5.
Most of the nail Nick is gone on the Camillus so I don't know that I can fix it. The Case will fix ok and the Kabar will have a short but usable main.
But to me the Case is the crown jewel of the find.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Further information.
The Camillus equal end is a 75.
The pen knife is also Camillus and has a blade and a fingernail tool.
None of these are shell handle.
The Camillus 75 needed the pivot tightened up.
The little Kabar now has two straight edge blades.
The Case XX small stockman is all ready to go in my watch pocket.
Might take dynamite to blast it out.
Always wanted a Case small stockman. XX makes it special!

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Mineral oil cleaned the Case enough to see 10 dots making it a 1970 if I'm not mistaken.
The Camillus pen knife has a floppy main blade. If I squeeze it it has a lot less movement.
I see no way to fix it. Maybe somebody can?

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Find a piece of leather that will wrap around the bolsters, then gently squeeze the bolsters in a vice, (or even in the jaws of vice grips if you don't have a vice). The leather protects the bolsters, but the squeeze action will pinch the bolsters into the blade tightening it up. In extreme cases you can peen the pin over but you would need to re-finish the bolsters if you tried that. Pinching the bolsters like that doesn't work on US-made Schrades, as they attached their blades using the Swindon Key method, Camillus however pinned the blades through the bolsters so squeezing them together sometimes helps. Do it gently but give it a try, it has worked for me most times I've tried it.Just Plain Dave wrote:Mineral oil cleaned the Case enough to see 10 dots making it a 1970 if I'm not mistaken.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
On most knives I agree 100%. But this Camillus is very slim and has tip bolsters.
There is no pin end that I can see.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Hey JPD, that NK advertising knife stands for Northup King a seed corn outfit probably made by Imperial?. Looks like a good bunch of "fixer uppers".Just Plain Dave wrote:Went to the flea market in Cleveland that has been pretty good to me.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
This one, with the fork and the spoon, are there any markings? It should be Japanese. I've seen them sell at prices between $ 50 and $ 100.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Picked up a couple of new to me knives at a local gun shop yesterday. They were selling off a large collection for an old collector.
Got a Thomas Ellin sportsman knife and a celluloid L.F.&C.
