Sharing My Collection

[SFC ADP]

I took some pictures of many of the knives I own, if you see one you would like to get close ups of, or have questions, please feel free to ask, or have any info you would like to share I would appreciate it.
These are alot of my prides and joys, and then there were many that were given to me over the years. Some are mint, others are not, but that just comes with knife collecting.

Thanks SFC ADP. What a huge variety of interesting knives. .

[SFC ADP]

Thanks for the compliments.
Sunburst: I have been collecting for well over 20+ years now (started very young, about age 6 i think)
I do have many more, but I was getting tired of pulling em all out, and of course I would oil some of them etc etc.
I tried to get all my Case knives in one pic, but after I took it, I noticed a couple I missed in one of the drawers of my storage chest. Oh well! They ended up in the Misc. Picture.
Then I have a basket of my "junkers" which I plan on either selling at our garage sale, or learn how to take them apart and experiment on making handles and file work and such. We will have to see.
And there are a few more I may get some more pictures done to show them off.

Hi, I noticed you have a few of the Schrade cigar box knives. I have a mint one, a peanut (?) that I think is going nowhere in my collection. Are you interested? I like pen knives, tuxedo knives, sheffield knives. Interested in a swap? s-k

Hey SFC;
Very nice, IMO you have captured the real fun of Knives, an eclectic gathering that would surely have something in it that would interest any diverse visitor. In other words conversation pieces.

Such as in the mil.JPEG the top left youth knife and the sheath directly under it. Has the HYK been verified, if so would mind describing the blade, any markings,names.proofs,material of handle,finish of blade etc.

You guessed it I have one that im trying to authenticate.

The next thing down, is it a spike bayo. sheath, i've never seen one?Which bayo. is it? Close ups of both items would be nice, you can reduce to 320x120 if you like, I will pull into photo shop and blow up. In the misc,jpeg is that a switchblade in lower left quadrant, if so would you mind giving its particulars.
Thanks with any and all info. Have a good day.
W.B.

Ok on the Hitler Youth knife, it was a gift from my wife, which she bought at an Antique store. I placed in one of the pictures a Hitler youth Pin, which is Authentic, and it pretty much matches up with the one in the knife.
The Handles are a type of composite plastic, much of what is like on the Dress Bayonet I have. Only Markings I have found if on the blade, which is kind of hard to read, as well in the picture, it has 2 circles one inside the other, with the letters RZ in the middle, and the Z has a line going through it. Under the circles it is hard to read due to wear but it appears to have the letters and numbers M (can't read 2nd) and 13 is the last. maybe 5 characters, hard to tell.
Hope this helps!

Now for the Bayonet, this was given to me from My Grandfather, which he confiscated in WW2.
All I know is he used to say it was outlawed by the Geneva convention, because if you got stuck, it was very hard to stop the bleeding. It is a spike, that has 3 sides that come to a point. Only markings are 1928 which go around the part that goes around the barrel (sorry dont know my Bayonet lingo)
Then it has like a type of tension leaf spring, like it would snap on to a rifle.
Oh, and no switch blades in any of the photos above. I have 2, but they are cheap junnk, one bought in Honduras in my early 20's for $5, and the other was given to me, which I have been Grinding on the blade to get it to a shape I like.
