Here is a little Johnathan Crookes (Heart and Pistol cipher) quill knife I recently fished out of the bay with a group of others.

Good pearl, good snap, square and clean joint. The pivot pin turns with the blade but I will leave well enough alone. 2 7/8" closed and very delicate.

It's getting harder and harder to find knives older than me but I think this one qualifies.

At least I don't remember ever having to use one of these in school.

Great looking quill knife!


I haven't been able to get out much lately, buy yesterday I did hit an antique store and found a few.

These four were in a bag for $16... Camillus 65, Schrade Cut Co., Utica tool kit knife, and this cool Kabar.

I just love the stag on this Kabar. It's a shame that it is well used...

I also found these two. This Keen Kutter is pretty well used up, but the bone and the half stops are great.

[singin46]

16 bucks,,, wow! I don't ever find deals like this. Well done Glenn.

[Just Plain Dave]

That Camillus is dayum knice!

[btrwtr]

Nice take Glenbad.

[timgreene48]

Those are really awesome glenn, but I'm diggen' the keenkutter! love that pattern

[singin46]

Yes sir, that Keen Kutter in Tear Drop Jack pattern is certainly not seen everyday

[philco]

Wow Glenn. You is one savy shopper!!!

Great looking group of knives. Please tell me a little about that last one. It's got my attention.

[TripleF]

Knice scores Glenn......real knice!

[glennbad]

Wow Glenn. You is one savy shopper!!!

Great looking group of knives. Please tell me a little about that last one. It's got my attention.

Yeah, I'm still puzzling on that one. I didn't post an open blade shot, but it has a "Wards" main blade in it. Not sure if it is original to the knife, but it looks like it fits well. Don't think I have seen a Wards in a utility pattern, but for the few bucks I dropped on it, it was worth the curiosity. It's seen better days, and is kinda sloppy and loose, so it definitely needs a day at the spa.

[Just Plain Dave]

Not really a find since I MEANT to buy it. Had a hankering for a bone handled Peanut.
The Red CV one had too much pink at the ends of the bones.
So I got a Chestnut boned CV Peanut.

Right now it's in a Potato

I'll attempt to get a pic or three of it tomorrow.

Very sorry if this is only supposed to be OLD knives.

Here is a GEC #61 in American Elk I couldn't resist.......serial #02 and kind of 'mammothy' looking......

Very nice looking mammoth ivory Trevor! Looks perfect and you gotta love that acorn shield.

[IMBand]

Thanks Perry......the handles are American Elk......I was saying they look kinda like mammoth is all......

[philco]

Beautiful knife Trevor. Love that shield.

[singin46]

Well it fooled me! Which is not saying a whole lot.

[IMBand]

Thanks Phil......the 'GEC' line-up from Great Eastern is quite nice. The upcoming #42LB will be run in the 'GEC' trim with Stainless blades, looking forward to it!

[singin46]

Yeah, that should be a nice one Trevor.

[gino]

She is a beauty trevor! very cool

[garddogg56]

Early in the week I rescued a 197UH and a POW-MIA knife for my display.

[singin46]

Nice find garddog! Get you some 3m micron sand papers and clean that green mold off the bolsters of that Uncle Henry Schrade. It'll make it look old but not molding

[garddogg56]

I did that Perry check it out in the Schrade thread she cleaned up well

[singin46]

I'll do the that!
