Here are 3 of my recent pickups. I hope these knives good enough for this group. Western L88, Case 087PE, and Hibbard.

Good enough for this group?
Sir, we love knives here.
Expensive knives, and cheap knives.
Collectable knives, and broken knives.
New knives, and old knives.
Folding knives, and fixed-blades knives.

We also love knife collectors, knife dealers, knife accumulators, knife enthusiasts, and casual observers.

About the only things that we do not allow here are rude talk, and snooty people who think that their knives are better than everyone else's.
But I repeat myself.

Thanks for sharing, and welcome aboard!

[Madmarco]

Thanks a bunch for your comments, Dan, I always appreciate hearing from you!

[Madmarco]

Thanks, Cody!
I waited as long as I could trying to find the model I wanted, but I'm still very pleased with the model I got.
Did you take up the offer on the Ultra-light for 60 bones?
I got scolded recently for polluting the Schrade Collectors thread by posting my Schrade dagger, it was claimed my knife is a clone and not an original Schrade and doesn't belong in that pure thread.

[Madmarco]

to AAPK, Mobil!
FYI, any knife you wish to post is "good enough", if it's "good enough" for you, it's "good enough" for us!
Great choice of knives you posted, keep em' comin'!

[Madmarco]

That's a great little auto, Iman!
Gorgeous covers on that beauty!
PM inbound, watch for it!

Compass Industries Silver Falcon model 521. 3 3/4 inches closed.

I bought one exactly like this in 1982 and gave it away about 10 years later in almost worn out condition. To most people it's just a cheap off brand knife but to me it's like a blast from the past. I am very happy to have one in my hands again.

Actually got this a couple of weeks ago...Schrade Walden Stainless, reading all kinds of conflicting stories about the knife , I like it and in excellent shape. Decent snap opening..

Here's a new one I got in the mail today.
The RoseCraft Blades Appalachian Jack RCT003. Company Description: "One-Bladed Slip Joint. 3.3” D2 Clip Point Blade. Half-Stop. Brushed Satin Finish. Micarta Covers. Steel Liners. Nickel Silver Pins. Nickel Silver Rosebud Shield. Brushed Steel Bolsters. Steel Pry Tip. 4.4” Closed. 7.7” Overall (Including Pry Tip). Designer: Andy Armstrong." Also came with a RoseCraft sticker and challenge coin.

Very nice knife but the weight makes it at sheath or blue jean knife and not you Sunday morning slacks.

I have been looking and looking at their knives and really like the looks of them. That one is the one i keep going back to , i just need to pull the trigger on it. They were out of stock on it a few months ago and received an email they have them back in stock.

Rick I have never encountered a cheaply made CI knife. I think they were a cut above other Japanese knives from that time. That’s a nice looking knife.

Mobil890,
to AAPK!
I'll just say amen to what Reverend posted.
I'd be proud of any of the knives you posted. We call such knives HOKs, honest old knives, my cigar boxes and Piggly Wiggly sacks have a bunch of HOKs that I'm pleased with.
Enjoy the forum.

Thank you, Mark. My first one sure did serve me well. I was more active back then and I used a knife a lot more than I do now. I used that knife for everything and it never let me down.

It was my only experience with CI but I am inclined to agree.

[Mobil890]

Here are some mini knives. Top left to right as marked USA, USA, China, W.H Morley & Sons. Next two are Imperial Mystery knives. AJ Jordan is next then last is a Bristol Line. Funny story about the Bristol line which I lost while Turkey hunting. The next trip out I retraced my steps and found it at a tree base that I rested.

Arrived yesterday, my new Kukuri made by a fellow in the U.S. Very sharp; highly polished.

Beauty, great looking blade and some fine leatherwork. Nice score.




Picked up this leverlock and am impressed with the smooth operation, the lock up, and the horn. I like a good auto but the horn pretty much hooked me.

That horn is outstanding!

Thanks my friend, appreciate the notice and comments. It hooked me immediately. Could not look away and could not resist the siren song. Thanks again and all the best to my fave Schr ade mechanic.

Got this Queen Barlow in the mail today. Very nice.
I should have wiped the oil off the blade before I took the picture...

David, what's the history of this knife? I'm wondering about the nail nick.

I got it on eBay so I really don't have a history. I know it's made in China. The nail nick has the same style and placement as several other Queen Barlow's I've found. Do you believe something is wrong about this knife?

No sir, David I don't see anything wrong with the knife since you indicated where it came from. I'd not seen a nail nick like that on any Queen Barlows.
Can't tell from the pictures about the back of the knife. Queen Barlows were made with a regular frame, brass liners and exposed springs and also a Barlow pattern with an aluminum frame and a closed back. When used to handling a normal steel frame and you grab one of the aluminum framed Barlows , there is a shocking difference!
The handles on your knife are eye catching!

Here is a copy of the paper that came with the mystery knives.

Picked this up at antique shop about an hour ago.
Queen City sleeveboard elephant toe celebrating 150 years of titusville oil. Made in 2009. I think its old green bone.

To most people it's just a cheap off brand knife but to me it's like a blast from the past.

That's a great reason to buy a knife, in my book!

Actually got this a couple of weeks ago...

Wish I'd known you were in the market, as mine is to be culled. I think the one you got is better than mine, though.

A whole bunch of knice pick-ups, y'all!

Culled, haven't heard that for years, when I worked in the lumberyards....send me a pm with a pic or two..and the culled price...or hagle alittle...lol

[Madmarco]

These cool little fingernail knives came from a site called knives-of-france.com in Texas!
6 3/4" oal Lacroix Fishtail coke-bottle slip-joint with blue covers and white liners!
6 1/2" oal Coursolle "Yatagan" slip-joint that's all brass but for the drop-point SS blade!
If I'm not mistaken, our member David R. (dlr110) , is familiar with the Yatagan knife, and quite possibly the site itself, cuz that's where I first saw that knife when he posted his copy, I think!

[robpa]

ya just have to be aware. I almost got burned on a Queen City knife. Its a china made sort of copy. Thats what happens after a happy, happy hour! There aint no Queen city knife with an hour to go on ebay with a 30 $$ bid, cept mine! LOL. These clones are not awful, Ive handled them but a blind man can feel the difference.

[Madmarco]

A BLIND man can FEEL the difference, huh Rob! lol!
A DEAF man can SMELL the difference!
A DUMB man can TASTE the difference!
A DEAD man can.....well, you get it!
