The Trapper has Black G10 handle with Titanium finished blades. The Stockman has Buffalo Horn handles.

Lovin' the trapper.
With the money I spend on breakfast (2 Java Monsters, beef jerky, and a pack of smokes) I could but 2 RR knives every day, and STILL save a few dollars.
Maybe I'll just buy one Java M. per day...

If you like beef jerky, have you ever tried no mans land? It beats all. Made in oklahoma too, which is where I'm from.

I don't believe they have that down here. Carrabelle is slow allowing anything in that was not born or made here...you can still buy VHS movies at the gas station, and if you want anything in fast food (White Castle ect...) you have to order it on the internet. https://order.whitecastle.com/OrderNow/#/home That makes it VERY slow food IMHO.

I buy that mystery meat jerky that they have in the serve yourself plastic tray/bin thing.
On the plus side... I will never need a tetanus shot or antibiotics again.

In the mail...

Saber 620. I "think" this is a Thin Trapper. Carbon blade, and no shield so I believe it is a German made version from the 70's?

Another Frontier. This time a Stockman that I think I will polish up, and carry. Also 70's I think.

Then I bought a nice Remington bullet shield lock-back w/ box, and papers. 1984

I have to slow this roll... but they are all so cute, and they all need forever homes. I'm just happy that I can foster so many of them.

[americanedgetech]

I feel bad posting so many in a row here but, in the mail...

Two seperate auctions but I think these are both Camillus made.
The first is a Fairmount Cutlery NYC Swell end Jack dating to the thirties ('30-'40) I realize they are not the best knives but this is a nice example, and it is a Camillus (after all).
Second is a Remington Swell end dating from the 70's-90's I believe? Also a Camillus as I understand.
Sweet little knives if I do say so myself.

[espn77]

Your knive is a contract knive from the late 30's probably.

[americanedgetech]

I know the Fairmount is but I didn't think the Remington was due to the Line stamp as per the other thread asking about them.

Is there a reason that you know of that it would not have a circle shield? Because it was "contract" made, and not made in house?

I'm sooooooo confused.

EDIT:
Similar for the Remingtom bullet shield I posted in the post above these... It has a circle shield dating from the 20'-30's but I know that is a Camillus Repro.
I know they are trying to drive me more insane.

[espn77]

The 1984 stamp on the back. That's when it was made by Camillas

[americanedgetech]

That one I understood. The rest of Remington seem like... hair pullin'.

I'll get it. I hope.

Today's Colonel Coons are made by Queen.

[americanedgetech]

QS, Is that the S&M Wharncliffe I saw on the Flea?
I actually bid earlier on it.

[Quick Steel]

Ken, No that is a Colonel Coon made currently by Queen. It is a Stockman.

[americanedgetech]

Beautiful handles.
Stag, and bone stag are quickly climbing my list as the first thing that catches my eye. so I can't wait to see it posted when you get it.

[Quick Steel]

Ken, My apologies. Got messed up because I had 2 COl. Coons coming. Just found one of them at my back door. That is the current CC Stockman. The one your saw and commented on is a canoe, and is from the original CCs. Here is a quick photo of the Stockman, the fit and finish of which are superb.

[americanedgetech]

Now THAT'S a Knife!
I like them big, and fat. Just like that!

My hands are like baseball mits from decades of working with fiberglass, and every bad chemical it takes to build a boat so I really need a fat knife with a rough texture to even know I am holding it.
That one floats the boat for sure! Nice score!

Missed one of these here on AAPK a number of years ago, was glad to see this old Imperial US ARMY Stockman from the Bicentennial era show up in the AAPK Stores this morning. It should be in my hands by late in the week or early next week. OH

[americanedgetech]

I couldn't stop myself... I bought a John Salm abalone "fob" knife or pen knife I guess.
circa 1915 ish.
He was a California knife maker for about 10 years, and most of his knives were abalone handled.
I am hoping it looks nicer in hand than the listing pictures. They usually do.

[jerryd6818]

Thanks to the Colonel for a heads up, I picked up the Marine Corps version. Imperial Hammer Brand with the faux forged blades. Unfortunately PayPal didn't work for me so I had to drop a check in yesterday's mail and am now impatiently waiting.

Hey, all you squids. The Navy edition is still waiting for a new home. https://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/ca ... blades-nos

[americanedgetech]

That is a seriously cool looking knife. Definitely a front, and center piece.

[jerryd6818]

Thanks Ken. I'm reasonably certain it's a shell handle but even those can look good if done well and I like the faux hammered look of the blades.

[gino]

Nice looking knives fellas
I am waiting on this one

[tongueriver]

Thanks Ken. I'm reasonably certain it's a shell handle but even those can look good if done well and I like the faux hammered look of the blades.

Let us know when you get it; I don't think they have shell handles. ?

[Old Hunter]

I have another Stockman from the series, the 1776-1976 Bicentennial version; it has shell handles, but they are nicest shells I’ve run across on an Imperial. OH

[jerryd6818]

As the Colonel says, they came in a commemorative boxed set of three; Army, Navy and Marine Corps. The Colonel got the Army edition, I got the Marine Corps edition and the last I saw, the Navy edition was still available.
