A couple more interesting knives I'd like some input on

Post by kjwknvs »

These are some that I recently acquired that I can't find much info on. There are a few that I know a little about, but not all of them. I'm really not very familiar with any of the older knives.

Please let me know if any of them are just junk. :)

I'm "assuming" this is a Kingston K-17S Serpentine Jack Knife. It was used a lot and sharpened a lot. You can't see much of the tang stamp.

And more.....

The I*XL George WostenHolk(?) Sheffield England was in a bunch of really cheap knives. I just happened to find it. I believe that it originally had mother of pearl or something similar on the outside of it.

I have no idea what the outside of the Sharp is or anything else about this knife.

last but not least....

I know a little about a couple of these. I am curious about the SOG QAD and Camillus the most. These were a few of the only Brownings that I had that weren't made in China, and I have always been a fan of Spyderco and Cold Steel.

Thank you for looking at my knives. I really appreciate any comments.

You sure have accumulated an eclectic collection! Some I see - Kingston (WW-II period), Frontier - upscale line by Imperial from the 1970's, Buck 309v made by Buck in 1989 after they took the 300 series mfg over from Camillus. I*XL was a good grade of English Sheffield made knives (for a short time owned by Schrade). Bear MGC knives are made in Jacksonville Alabama. Primble was the high end house brand offered by Belknap Hardware out of Louisville KY - subcontracted to Boker USA and others. I don't follow tactical style knives, but others here do - too many for any real discussion in a single thread - follow Scott's advice and post them individually and I'm sure you will get more info. You got some good old users in that accumulation. OH

Thank you for the info. I will be sure to post just one at a time in the future.

Old Hunter, eclectic is a serious understatement. :lol:

My father, online auction/ebay/craigslist buyer extraordinaire, recently gave me a bunch of knives. When I say "a bunch", other than telling you that there are several boxes, I really don't know how to describe it any better. I have always loved knives, but I have never been a serious collector as in brand specific. I have always carried a knife(actually.....I have them everywhere...in my truck, my purse(Yes, I am a woman.), beside the bed, on my person, in the bathroom drawer, etc...). I'm also a Mom with two small children, so I apologize if I seem to ask stupid questions. I research as much as I am able.

My dad has a very extensive Case collection as well as other various, what I would consider, high end, older knives...Old Timers, maybe a queen or two, some sterling Swiss Army, etc... One day I am going to photograph some of these for y'all to look at. I think you will find some of them very interesting.

Anyways, I have just been trying to sort the really nice knives from the trash in what I was given. I have researched a lot of them, but there are some that I can't find any information on, or at least I haven't found it yet. I plan on selling the majority of them. I don't know what kind of market there is for some of the really old, used ones, but I think that serious collectors may like them for their collections. I would rather sell them to people that I think can appreciate them rather than to people who just don't really care. I will trade some of them, too. The knives in the stores on this forum seem extremely expensive, but I realize that many are in mint condition with the boxes. I do, however, realize that my inventory is not that grade.

I, personally, have an affinity for Kershaws. A knife that I can use as a tool is my preference.

I am slowly trying to get organized. I have had most of these in boxes in my closet for almost a year. I have multi-tools, and so many Swiss Army knives that I don't know what to do with them.

Anyways, thank you for looking. I will try to not post so many next time. I really appreciate your knowledge base and time.
