Nice haul Scott, I like that little fixed blade right above the SOG. Does it have any markings on it?

[treefarmer]

Mike, that little fixed blade caught my eye also. The handle makes it look inviting.
Scott, those drawing knives might be something you could use with the boys and the outdoor skills they are learning.

I know.....it's purty cool and lightweight. The only marking is an 02 on the butt end of the knife. Seems to be professionally
done, not like a weekend warrior carved it.

Any ideas who made it? When I blow it up on my laptop I can faintly see fill marks....possibly homemade from a file?

That one jumped out at me too. Interesting.

Picked up this random pocket full this morning.

Found this on a yard sale table today:

Victorinox Cub Scout knife

I hadn't run across one of these before.

Nice TF, I always try to pick up any unusual knife when I see one. I guess that is why I'm an accumulator instead of a collector!

Up at 5 am, quick shower and coffee to go.
Wife spent the night at her brother's to keep the kids today,
so I pretty much had the day all to myself .. ... ..

Drove two hours to the Collinsville Trade Day. Only second time I've been.
Wasn't sure of the turn out because of the rain. About half of the
vendor spots were empty. Not good ....

Walked for about 20 minutes. Bought the wife some socks.
Then the rain started again. Heavy mist at first, then big drops.
I hoofed it back to the car, quick.

Sitting in the car and pulled up the radar on the smart phone.
Decided I would wait out the rain. Maybe it won't be a wash out day.
Sat for nearly an hour, just me and the rain, watching the pedestrians run between the rivers.

Finally it passes. I get back out and slog through the mud and streams.
Find three different vendors with knives. One old feller had reasonable prices,
and a pleasant disposition. So I donated to his cause and brought home this jewel in the rough.

Heritage Schrade red bone 'split-back' whittler. 8041
Poor attempt was made to sharpen the blades. Fortunately not much metal gone.
Good, solid snap all the way around. A decent find to make a Saturday worthwhile....

[treefarmer]

Chris,
Congratulations, that's a good lookin' knife!
Collinsville is where Miss Joy's oldest brother is buried. We heard about a miles long yard sale when we were there quite a few years back.

Collinsville Trade Day!
My great granddad used to sell junk there every Saturday. I was too young, then, to have the junk
bug (which somehow skipped generations and hit me later in life). I remember walking up and down the rows, up and down the hill with my grandad. He had a place on Weiss Lake. If the fishing was slow we would go to trade day.
Great memories. Thanks for spurring them.
Good looking knife BTW

Chris, I know the place.
My folks grew up In Ivalee at the foot of the mountain in 278. When I was about 10 years old I bought a “Rambo” knife at Mt Top.

Didn't buy knives at that age. I do remember buying a bootleg cassette of the Footloose soundtrack.
1984 ... so I was 12.
