KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY

[glennbad]

Picked up this Turner and Jepson today,excellent snap and half stops. I was wondering about the pins, didn't exactly look right to me the way they are cut off? Maybe someone did some repairs, but I had to have it because of the old stag handles!!!

What a beauty of a knife! The pins, to me anyway, are consistent with construction of that era. They were typically roughly pinned, with no pin spinning, and not a lot of finish buff work.

Thanks Glenn, that is good to know, thanks for the info.

Picked these up at an estate sale

That is a beautiful knife.

Found this at the flea market,pre Hammer Brand, dates about 1856-1878,still has some snap.

I just happen to have a small clip blade meant for a Camillus 72 if you would like it. PM your mailing address to me and I'll send it to you.

Jerry, for some reason my PM’s are not working. I sent you an email.
Blade arrived today. Thanks again! Look forward to repairing this one.

Sent a return email to you. Good luck with that project, it's very worthy.

Look what followed me home. A Queen Barlow, bone handles, 1/2 stops, unsharpened pen blade, needs a good sprucing up. I believe the sideways "Q" indicates 1952-55.

Nice Queen Phil!

Nice find Phil

[gsmith7158]

Those old bone handle barlow's in that condition are getting really hard to find Phillip. That's a great snag!

Nice one.
That's a pattern 22. The 22 had a clip main blade. The pattern 23 had a spear main blade.

Hit the mother (of faux pearl and abalone) lode today. Someone’s collection was dumped out onto a table and I paid to make it mine.

Camillus 42

Latama

With a Sheffield set thrown in.

Hit a garage sale on my way home today and struck gold. Among the finds were a G-96 Angler filet knife(didn't have one and had my pick of a half dozen different ones);a Cutco hunting knife with serrated blade unused;a combination tool called the Angler's Pal and my big score: A WWII era KA-BAR in the original sheath unsharpened and still partially covered in dried cosmolene!
Total: $20 for all four!

[knife7knut]

UPDATE! As I was going to put the knife back in it's sheath I noticed a very faint name inked onto the sheath. Rubbed a little more mineral oil on it and dried it and the name J.P.Jones became visible. Haven't found a service # yet but I'll be looking for it. The plot thickens.

John Paul Jones, I've heard of him. ____Dave

That was a good day K7K, you got some good ones there.

To continue the Kabar connection I found this at a local gun show yesterday. Has a chipped handle and the sheath is a little worn with the strap missing but even with those warts I couldn't leave with out it. I think its a pre war knife. The 664-5 is the Model number I believe.The handles were the big attraction with a killer blade grind, similar to the grind used with the military knives. Very well balanced in the hand.

That's a BEAUTY Steve!!

[steve99f]

Thanks WW! I'm thrilled to have it.

[gsmith7158]

Steve that's a beautiful and interesting handle! I don't think I would have left that one there either!

A beautiful knife to be sure! I wouldn't have passed that one by either. I have seen that handle style somewhere but can't remember where. Maybe on an early Case knife. I'll have to do some research. Easy repair on the sheath.

[steve99f]

Thanks guys! Another member here, Gunsil, has shared that Case has had a similar handle/pommel design on some bone handled Bowie type fixed blades, early on. The bone color and jigging just pulled me in.

I found these at a yard sale on Saturday, which is rare around here. I accidentally posted this in the how to post pictures thread.

[stockman]

abrowe Nice haul. No garage sales like that in my neighborhood. Welcome to AAPk.
