Today I got a 1990 buck 301 via trade and a rogers bone utica that was free with my ebay bucks

The rogers bone is very nice, dark and even in color. Really it's too nice of bone to have been put on a knife that doesn't have very good fit & finish, but it's solid and perfectly functional with full blades (that are nice and thin behind the edge) so I'm pleased to have it.

Nice Utica, Paul.

Lots of nice pick-ups there guys but a bone handled trapper will get my vote everytime!

My latest is an Imperial Cattle Knife.

I had to buy a group of junkers to get this Wm. Elliot & Co. pen. But one of the other junkers held a nice surprise. This small Carr Brothers pen has genuine tortoiseshell scales.

That one pushes all my buttons

Et moi! Especially the "on" button. Always like a pen third blade instead of a spey, and I am a sucker for cattles, especially with a long pull. And, and....

[tongueriver]

Dave, I have always wanted to see real tortoise. Sounds good!

Mail lady drop a package from 3f today. I love the extra goodies Scott but for what I payed for the knife you should'a hadn't ought'a done it. Thanks steel brother. great little knife,paper shredding sharp out of the box.

Seems like Imperial did that on a lot of their cattle knives. I think this is one of my oldest Imperials and it has the same blade configuration:

Darn knice hauls fellas!!!

These came in Friday, I was just jammed packed with stufff yesterday.

[treefarmer]

wow Scott, another batch of interesting knives!
Who made the jack and the stockman?
Treefarmer

[TripleF]

The bone jack is made by Premier. I carried it last night. Scary tight, and half stops that I warned my bro in-law about.

The 3 blade, I think is a cattle knife, by Henckels.

[treefarmer]

Thanks, Scott, I wrote stockman, should have been cattleman . Great lookin' bone on them!

Nice hauls you've made Scott - love the old Imperial Boy Scout with carved shield - let me know if that one is for sale. BB

Cattle Knives seem to be the thing right now. Here is a Camillus #75 Junior Cattle Knife that came in yesterday's mail from NY. This one is circa 1957 per the seller's ebay listing. From what I can find looking through old on-line Camillus catalogs (thank you Dale!) this knife came into the postwar period in 1955 and was gone by 1975. The 1957 catalog lists the handles as being made of BROWNSTAG - a synthetic similar to rough black or gumfuddy. This one would be mint if not for a little blade tarnish, but tight, snappy, original edges, etc. OH

My goodness there have been some nice knives posted on the last couple of pages. It's hard to pick a favorite.

I'm thinking i might have to give up. I believe hall have scooped up all the good old knives.

[tongueriver]

A good week for me. Cattaraugus whittler, Camillus 69, SW 861, Boulder Black Beauty, and a Schrade Cutco with nasty handles.

[Ivoryman]

Some extra baggage I picked up at the OKCA show in Eugene, OR over the weekend.

That nasty handled cut has good blades, it would look good in ebony

[J1890]

Just got back from antiquing. Found this Utica easy open main blade has great snap. Secondary blade is broken and has a monster pull. I almost pulled my thumb nail out trying to open it

[Rookie]

I got this one over a month ago, but never had a chance to take a nice photo until the weather turned nicer. So today I finally got some good shots of it. Tuna Valley 2012 cotton king with ebony.

[gsmith7158]

Rookie that one is spectacular!

[KnifeSlinger#81]

I second what Greg said, great shot rookie.

I got home after a weekend away and this really nice benchmade 551-1 that I got in a trade was waiting for me
