Latest Pick Up from Ebay

[tjmurphy]

Pal Blade Co. Camper/Utility along with, as yet, an unidentified folder. The picture sucks but will post better pics when knife is in hand. One small crack at center pin that you can see in pic. Don't know about walk and talk yet. Aside from one small crack, the bone handles looky nize to me. If anyone can place a date to the Pal I'd sure appreciate it. Looks like two-piece can opener?

That one is easy to date 1940-45.

The knife shown is definitely WW II era production, the two piece can opener was used extensively by Remington on their scout/utility knives, seeing Pal bought out all of Remington`s stock they used it all up on their knives. Sometimes you may find a Remington marked can opener on a Pal marked knife.

Looks like a keeper Tom

Thanks Dimitri - If the blades snap as good as they look, I'll be a happy camper. And the price sure was right, $13 + ship.

Looks like ya did alright Murph-You picked up some nice bone last week too didn't ya?

[tjmurphy]

Yes sir, it was an HS&B

[theblindog]

cool knife TJ!! congrats!!
always wanted a scout knife, but the vintage ones are pricey

[philco]

TJ you did well on that one. There's just something about those old scout knives.

[tjmurphy]

Falah and Philco - thanks a lot. Yes I do like those old knives with the old timey bone handles. There's some nice bone on the modern knives but to me they just look so sterile, if you know what I mean.

Where the heck am I when a beauty like that goes for $13? For that price, I'd give the hair on my chest (both of 'em) to get my hands on one like that. Congrats T.J. Ya done good lad.

[tjmurphy]

Well if it's got walk and talk I'll be a happy camper, if not, I'll be a semi-happy camper. Keep your fingers crossed.

[jerryd6818]

If it doesn't walk and talk to your satisfaction, maybe a little lubrication will resolve the issue. And if that doesn't work, send it to me. I'm not fussy.

[tjmurphy]

Gotcha covered Jerry!!

[tjmurphy]

The knife is in hand. Sorry Jerry, with a drop of oil for each blade we have snap. One little correction to make - not really a two piece can opener, and, no Remington stamp. I'm a happy camper for the price.

[Miller Bro's]

Let`s see a couple clear pictures Tom

What brand is the other knife?

[tjmurphy]

Should have enough shade now, will do some pics. The other is a no-name little POS with cracked cell. handles.

Nice Tom!


It does look like a 2 pc can opener to me

[tjmurphy]

My bad Dimitri. I just looked at it from an edge view and it IS two-piece. I was looking at it from the face view. Shoot Fire!!

You're not foolin' me T.J. You're not sorry in the least. I wouldn't be either if I'd picked up one that nice for that price.

Happy Birthday Jerry

Thanks T.J.
