KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY

[gino]

Picked this
Seneca Cutlery Co. Utica N.Y. -1932 a trademark used by Udica Cutlery for that year only according to Goins
Strong snappy open and close with no side play
Crack free handles not bad for 86 yrs old

It’s a salesman sample I’m guessing from the writing on main blade sorry I cannot get a better picture of it

5.00 at the flea market this morning

Kulrich, wow ! $10, might be 'Score of the Year'.
After you have used it to cut a number of things post back and let us know how well it works, or doesn't.

gino, Just curious as to what plans you might have for that Seneca. If you want to keep it as a collectible you probably won't do more than a light cleaning. What I was thinking, if you can get off some of the rust and corrosion, is that it might look very good if you forced a patina on the blades. Am thinking that would go very well with the black scales.

Q I was going to do a light cleaning and oil it and probably just throw it with the rest of my knives

[americanedgetech]

Gino,
You didn't mention this but what is written on this blade?
Is this a "Sales mans" sample?

LOLlll... Either you edited or I got so excited when I saw the image that I skipped the rest of your post.

It’s a series of numbers and it’s typical of a salesman’s sample. Salesman would take their knives to stores, hardwares, etc and show what they had and the individual numbers written on the blade would correspond to the type of knife they are pretty hard to find, sometimes they even have the salesman‘s name on it. I have seen a bunch but it’s the first I’ve owned
I will try and get a better picture in a bit

Here’s an example of one (not mine) I just googled it and found this one
You can see this one better so you have a better idea of what it is

There are some great lookin' finds here. Here is one I picked up at a fleamarket over the weekend for a few bucks. It is a Henry Sears & Son 3" jack. What would this pattern actually be called, a swell center jack, a teardrop jack, or something else?

I believe that's generally known as a "coke bottle" or coffin jack. Usually the larger versions also go by the name "folding hunter", though I'm not sure if that name is used for the smaller variants.

Thanks for your info. It's a neat little jack by any name. Since I retired, besides knives, one of my favorite past times is cold war military history. Your name Tsar Bomba certainly is a "blast from the past", in fact the biggest man made blast ever!

Knice haul, Scott! Am I right in assuming that's a full-sized yeller Sod Buster with a stainless blade?

No sir, it's a mini (3137) with CV blade and stains.

[Tsar Bomba]

Thanks for the detail and angle, Scott. I vastly misjudged that Schrade belt sheath's size (thought it might be for an LB7) and I was actually hoping for it to be a CV instead of stainless blade. If only it were a big fella...

[Landersknives]

Here’s a couple I picked up. The Hibbard Spencer Bartlett toothpick a friend of mine brought over 3 Knives he picked up at a auction and gave them to me and it was one of the three. The Ulster Boy Scout knife I picked up in a lot of knives mostly for repair.

Great toothpick from a maker you don't often see for that pattern, I'm particularly digging the handles and the F&F looks good for such an old celluloid knife. I believe that Ulster is kin to a non-BSA model I picked up this week. Photos forthcoming when the sun is back up.

Loving the (presumably) Henckels stag stockman, Scott. PM sent. Let me know the condition of the pile side stag if you will, too, I forgot to mention it...

[OLDE CUTLER]

I picked up this nice Schrade 25OT folding hunter the other day for a couple of sawbucks. Doesn't look like it has ever been used. The sheath is in new condition too.

[bighomer]

Great fines OC those big Schrade light my fire.
