Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Scott, That Gerber MK-1 is a nice find. They're not as desireable as nor as well documented as the Mark-II but I think they're still a very nice knife in their own right.
I've had mine for 30+ years.
This might help you date it. The differences can be very subtle so look closely. (I just put this together special for you.
)
Edit: Your pic is pretty good. I think yours is a 1972-1981

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Picked this up a month or so ago. Main blade on one side says "Jowika Solingren" and the other side says "Gusstahl". The saw blade says "Made in Germany". The massive needle has no markings.
Since it doesn't say West Germany, Im going to assume it is pre-WWII. Not sure what sort of knife has a saw and a sail needle on it though. Suggestions are appreciated.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Nice finds Gents.
New job hasn't let me get out on the weekends for a while. Finally had a chance to hit some yard sales today.
Top to bottom:
Robert Klaas Sod Buster
Puma razor
Ashamed to say this one (Bought it because it was priced so cheap)
Schrade Cut Co Walden NY with peach seed bone. (Unfortunate the pile side has a piece missing out of the bone. Clip blade is busted at the tip.)
And my favorite find of the day an Ulster Knife Co Dwight Devine Jack. Not sure of the year but sure its pre '41. Nice full blades and one of the sharpest knives I now own. Thought it deserved a bit more attention than the others.
Not a bad day for knife huntin. Best part was all the people I met.
