Found a box of knives

Post by Patrick Randolph »

Hello I'm from WVa and stumbled across a box of knives that were my grandfathers. After finding some caseXX, boker tree brand, and sabre knives I decided to research them found out a lot of info and enjoyed doing it. The first knife I researched was a smooth black handled caseXX which turned out to be a 45 model. Pretty excited. Decided to give collecting a shot and it brought me here.

Good Mornin', Patrick! A big welcome from LA (lower Alabama also known as the Florida Panhandle)! I can only imagine what it would be like to find a box of knives that had belonged to one of my grandfathers ::hmm:: . That's a great find, I know you will enjoy them ::tu:: . As you already know there is a world of info available here on AAPK and there always seems to be someone willing to help us understand more about the plain ol' pocket knife and all its' glory :) .
