Danswood,
Really like sunfish in general, the mini are my favorite still looking for one don’t want to buy it off the B.
My pick up of the day yesterday was a Father’s Day gift. Probably should be on the other sharp objects but nevertheless still a pickup.
My Air Force daughter always finds the coolest gadgets. This time it qualifies as a knife and the thing is sharp and I will use it.

Found this little IDEAL K.Co> souvenir from the "Electric Map" at the Gettysburg Battlefield. Not sure that attraction is still operating but it was, or still is a great way to understand the 3 day battle. It's a little stained but still in original condition. I actually started out collecting advertisers and commemoratives and still get a kick out of finding a nice one, especially for 2 bucks. J.O'.

Thank you Ike
Definitely not a chef. That’s all my daughter. My Bride and I are not the competitive kind. Accept when it comes to the Daughter she always finds these cool gifts so we are always competing with her. That being said today I was late went out side pluck some cilantro and threw it in my salad stalk and all. First thing my bride said when I opened the box was my daughter was a jerk.
The bride pulled one on me yesterday but I will post that on the show us your pets.

Miller Bros two blade large Congress. Estate find today.

I know absolutely nothing about these knives, other than what I've read about in other posts. The pin blade has slight damage to the cutting edge where it appears someone was slapping it against metal. The snap is good on the pin blade, but the main blade has none at all. I have no idea what kind of bone the handles are.

If anyone desires to add some info, good, bad or ugly, I'd be interested in reading what you have to say. TIA

Would anyone have an idea of what it cost to have file work like this done ? Just an estimate?

Found this little gem while going through my dad’s house after he passed. Appears to be a souvenir from Cherokee, NC. Says Republic of Ireland on the blade but nothing else can be seen. From my search it appears to be a Jowika. Has anybody seen one like this and know about how old it could be? Thanks!

Knice to have a knife from your dad. Knives from Ireland aren't usually super quality, expensive knives. But it's still a cool knife because of its association with your pop.

Nice!

I've got a Pal (with no handle and a broken guard) that I've paired with what I think is a WWII sheath. Sheath was paired with some cheap junker (a 1970s Taiwan-made hunting knife) when I bought it, and looks exactly like yours, except there is no marking at all on it.

Awesome find, PA. 😎👍


I just found a USA made Kershaw, BladeHQ's ZeroForks edition and it looks like they're limited to 50. Also comes with a ZeroForks swag pack and t-shirt. 😎
