Worlds Greatest Knives

Post by Old Folder »

PAGE 1 OF 2
Twenty five years ago (1993) I ordered a set of American Blade Trading Cards from what I believe was "Blade Magazine"? The set consists of 72 cards with a brief description on the back of the card. Not a full detailed description, but enough to retain our attention.
A excellent reference for the new collectors here on aapk and a refreshing historical visit to the past for the rest of us.

Keep your edge sharp, otherwise you just can't cut it.

Looking for Carrier Cutlery and early Robeson with Elmira tang stamps.

Thank goodness they didn't have these back when I was a 10 year old baseball card collector. My allowance would never have cut the mustard!

I'll trade you my Barry Bonds rookie card for the # 8 Sunfish ::suspense:: :mrgreen:
