Josh is trying to corner the Premier market.

Very nice pile ya got going there.

[Knifeboy1]

nice - good find Josh

[Knifeboy1]

I like em snappy too --

[jerryd6818]

How'd ya like to get a body part stuck in the mouth of that big fella? Down home they used to say if a snappin' turtle clamped down on ya, he wouldn't let go till it thundered. I think I just figured that out. The "thunder" would have been from a gunshot to the head. "Aim careful there Bubba."

Great thread Gents. Lotta cool knives, need to find myself one of those gunstocky dads with the bail. Very nice.

[junebug]

THANKS GUYS
i am havein fun trackin these down.......NOT EASY
thinkin i may stick with GERMANY made ones though ...much nicer made IMO.

[junebug]

can anyone tell me the MODEL NUMBER of this lil 2 blade????

top of stamp is light- "K" , then it fades, then a "0"(zero)...........

<EDIT>i see lawrence has one similar(2 3/4" closed # k243)

mine is 3 3/4" closed- maybe k 240 ?????

[Knifeboy1]

I've got one in my case Josh - I'll pull it out and check the number.

Correction on the patt # on my whittler -

Looking at the pic I posted - obviously a K14 not a K18.

Hey guys. I'm a noob, first post here..
The reason I signed up is that I came across a couple of old folders at an estate sale
today. After some extensive google-fu, I found this thread.
One of the knives is an old Premier Lifetime H-53, stamped Germany
The blade has pitting, rust, but its still sharp.

Would anyone in this thread know what it might be worth?
Any info is greatly appreciated.

Just FYI, the other folder is a little H Boker & co. Solingen 3 blade

[junebug]

welcome to AAPK

value??? if you post more pics i can help you a little more
both sides of knife and with blade open
also pic of tang stamp (company name on blade)
is the blade tight???
when locked open does blade have ANY play????

[reddirtknives]

Ever since Premier knives got it's own thread here at AAPK they seem to have quadrupled in value regardless of condition itsgottabe worth a buck fiddy or so

No more pictures for you Juniper

[junebug]

HEHEHEH

[Knifeboy1]

Josh you didn't see my new Senator pen. The thing is like brand new.





Yes we need to see more pics of your hunter Mr Sideshow.

[knifetime]

Very cool,hope you can feel it up with choice knives. That would be awesome.

[sideshowsteve]

Hey guys, thanks for the welcome!
junebug-
Yes, the blade does wiggle a bit when the knife is open.
Here are some more pics. It was obviously sitting in a toolbox for many years.
I'm guessing there is a way to get that surface rust off of the blade, but
I'm new to this and haven't looked in to what the process is.

Welcome to AAPK.

I would use 4-0 steel wool and machine oil (3-in-one or some such). Any value the knife might have over and above what it has with the rust is long gone.
