Dunlap

Post by Colonel26 »

I'm going to try to post my first knife here, wish me luck. This is a neat little knife that is pretty near, never sharpened at all. From what I've read this was the mid level knife that Sears used to sell in their catalogues. Any one else have them too? If any of you experts have more information on it, feel free to chime in! (all I have are cell phone pics, and a photographer I'm not, sorry).

Why, yes. Yes I do. Found one at the local semi-annual flea market back in May. EZ-Open Jack that's a little lacking in the 'snap' department but I do like those EZ-Opens. Made by Camillus for Sears c1938-1942.

Wow, I can definitely see the resemblance! Thanks fur the information too I know they aren't super valuable, and u have thought about putting a good edge on it and carrying it. I just haven't done so yet.

The small blades on miner snap pretty good. The clip you jabber to push must of the way down before it snaps.

T think I'll go put it on the steel new! It seems to have good metal in it.

You might want to pick up a Pen Oiler of Quick Release. Works great. Scott (TripleF) sells 'em and is a fine fella to work with.
