I picked up this Queen 32 congress. One of the sheepsfoot blades had a real buggered up tip with a big ol chip out of the point. I straightened it up a bit.

dweb, I think I know where all the awesome Schrades have gone...

Nice find, Colonel, and good work on the fix-up. First one I've seen with two secondary clip blades.

Nice looking cutlery Wade. I don't think you can go wrong with a congress knife.

dweb, you post the most stunning knives ! These 2 FB's, "wood handles" ? How do you get wood to look like that ? It more resembles highly figured mammoth.

Thanks for the good words from everyone, all the credit goes to Herman
Joe,
I'm sorry that my description was vague. When I bought the first knife, it had wood handles and no guard. Normally both knives have a brass guard and delrin handles. Since the knife had no guard, I asked Herman to mill a thumb ramp into the tang, which he also did to the second knife as I wanted a matching pair. They have both been re-handled in Ram's horn.

[kootenay joe]

Thanks for explaining about handles. It is rather special Ram's Horn as i have never seen it with so much surface detail. Certainly upgrades these 2 knives ++.

I had a pretty decent mail basket this round. The Craftsman came from our man Triple F, the 62055 from espn77 and the 6380 from Jdub.

What a haul Greg! You did good You the one I like best!

[J1890]

Here is my sweet new Hibbard Spencer Bartlett. It has Ripley Hardware etched on the blade. I was thinking this was very early 1900s.

Nice group of knives Greg.

The recent arrivals/pick-ups, en masse. I think I went a little Schrade-crazy...

Can anyone confirm that the Sears Craftsman Barlow near the center is Schrade-built? I compared it to my Camilluses and it didn't match up.

The serpentine jack on the left under the Schrade 12UH was a much-appreciated gift from Scott (TripleF) that he threw in as a surprise along with the Buck 301 I purchased from him. It's not stamped but judging from the blade and the frame I'm thinking Camillus, which means it's got good steel too. Thanks, Scott!

Very nice. I like the equal end jack.

Beautiful knife, not something you see every day.

There's no such thing as schrade crazy.

Jackpot Tony! Nice!!

[KnifeSlinger#81]

As the city of Tecumseh was holding their city wide garage sales this weekend I didn't get out to shop for knives(or anything else for that matter)as I was trying to get rid of a bunch of stuff in my garage! Today I closed up early after selling off about $500 worth of stuff and headed for the flea market which opened last weekend.
Found a nice 17 jewel Baylor wristwatch for $7 and a Victorinox SAK for $5. The best one was a Buck 715(a new one on me)that was apparently made exclusively for WalMart for $17.

[jerryd6818]

Mercy me, Ray. I like that Buck.

[Colonel26]

Me too. That's a dandy.

That is a beautiful knife!

[TripleF]

This was the best of the CASE knife lot that arrived.....
BTW.....what is this pattern? I love the drop down bolster. It's 087HE 1979

[kootenay joe]

Here is a small 6" FB with a 2 3/4" Brusletto blade and home made, or custom, sheath, which i bought at auction from SMKW. The handle is listed as "polished stag". There is a deer head painted on the handle end & very well done, not amateurish at all.
I only have listing pics but i think handle is a piece of mammoth tusk, which if correct makes this a good buy for $35.
Does handle look like "polished stag" to you ?
