My First Pressbutton

[upnorth]

Ulf & Eric, Thanks ! That means a lot coming from you two guys.

I'm glad you bought that hunting knife Fran! It's a nice grind, and a good example.
I didn't want to "gush" in front of that intransigent seller , better to frown and shake my head, but he was right . . .it was a fair price!!
(It is more fun when you get a reduction though!! )

Well Charlie, 'Ya told me what a hard bargainer you were, so I was waiting for a little help !

Actually, your opinion was perfectly clear. $50 off would have made me , but it was obvious that even in the last 10 minutes of the show, that old bird would sooner take the knife home than drop a nickel on the floor !

Fran

Well, he didn't lose a nickel, but he's obviously got no friends!!!

My motto "Never pay asking price!" Unless of course it's dirt cheap to start with.

great buttons Fran, love that hunting knife, it's probably my favorite schrade switchblade pattern.

[muskrat man]

I just can switch my focus from these danged ol lever knives

[Miller Bro's]

Fran,

You picked up a couple nice knives there


MM,

I have been having the same problem lately.

Here is another Bonsa lever.

tats a nice one MB, I have one inbound very similar. where do you find these beauties?

Here is a KA-BAR Grizzly. I love these vintage American autos!

[Sauconian]

WOW ! Ulf, What a beauty !!

Is that a new addition ?

I've only seen one of those for sale. and it was worth more than my pickup truck.

I'll have to get real lucky at a flea market to add one to my collection.

Fran

[Miller Bro's]

Ulf,

That is a beautifull old auto.
Love the stag KA-BAR used


Here is a super rare KA-BAR Baby Grizz

Fran

agreed haha.

I can barely afford bonsas

[orvet]

Wow,
A Griz and a Baby Griz in the same thread!
That is a substantial down payment on a house!

12 unused (late model) Colonial Shur-Snaps with guard-less front bolsters - custom made card.

[Miller Bro's]

Ulf,

Outstanding!

That would look nice framed hanging on the wall





M.B.

[muskrat man]

what a thread! I'll add another measly ol bonsa and a tangstamped hubertus

[Desktop]

Neat knives M-M!
Nothing measly about those two!

[Sauconian]

That Hubertus is an unusual one for sure Kaleb.

Ulf, I love all of those display cards you have. Unfortunately I have nowhere to put anything like that. No point in hiding them under the sofa.

Fran

[Sauconian]

Here are my two latest additions. ( In the auto category. ) A Shapleigh Hardware Co. office knife with great handles and patinaed but full spear and spey blades with overall light scratches, and a gold filled pullball made by the G.Schrade Co.for the JCN Co. I don't think the pullball was ever used or carried, and looks much better in hand than it does in photos.

Fran

[upnorth]

Real nice pair, Fran! Your auto collection is growing nicely !

What he said!

Those are very nice additions, Fran!

[knfcollector]

Very nice Fran. Both great scores but the Shapleigh Office is a rarity.

[268bull]

My first pressbutton, a Schrade/Walden. I think these were termed "Hunter's Pride".

[Sauconian]

Hunter's Pride it is Bull, and a nice snag !

It looks like jigged black celluloid handles, which may be less common than the bone, which were from Schrade Cut. Co.

Welcome to the Bob Club !

Bonkers over buttons,
Fran

[268bull]

Thank you for the welcome Sauconian. You're right, they are jigged celluloid. That's interesting, that celluloid handles on this particular knife could possibly considered somewhat more rare than bone. Thanks for the information.

[knfcollector]

Here's a Pretty minty Hunters Pride I just picked up. Ended up being in much better shape than I had thought when I bought it. Wasn't ever sharpened. Boy was I pleased when I opened the box!
