KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY

[TripleF]

Went to my favorite pawn shop today to trade in some scrap gold and ended up buying this imported Schrade for $10.00. I love the
size and weight.....it's crazy!

OAL is 6.5"

Found this yesterday in a drawer at a house we just bought and are moving into. I’m really excited about this house and this cool little find made it even more exciting. From my cursory searching I believe it’s a Colonial but there are no readable markings on it anywhere. Any help in identifying this thing would be awesome. Thanks you guys.

vw67... yours looks pretty close to this. Your shield looks to be more worn, or a slightly different one.Mine has just enough tang stamp left, to identify it as an Imperial. Probably from the 60's. Not worth much, monetarily...but a neat find, none-the-less.

Went to my favorite antique shop today and while talking to one of the vendors there she gifted me with these five kitchen knives.I promptly gave her five pennies and told her of the tradition of,"give a knife;get a penny". She also has a Wabash Cutlery Co. picture handle tuxedo in excellent condition that we are trying to come together on a price.
Anyway one of the knives is part of the steak knife set she gave me about a year ago that was a wedding present for her and her husband(sadly deceased now)51 years ago.Two others are interesting:a Remington K4807 butcher knife with a hammered finish on the blade and a Hollinger Hand Made Fremont O. butcher knife. The other two are well sharpened boning knives with no markings.The odd thing about all the knives is the blade finish:All have a brownish coloration that almost appears to be corrosion covered with a semi gloss glaze. I don't think it was sprayed on or dipped but apparently occurred naturally. Maybe exposed to some type of chemical.
The other knife is a paring knife stamped Stainless Steel Pat. # 1,967,472 and an emblem inset into the smooth black composition handle saying,"Dunlap approved Western Made" Cost me $2.

Somehow I missed this one.

That Western is model number 99PS, of the "Series No. 99" Western States Household Cutlery series. Only made in 1941, right before WW2 started. Bakelite handles. Came in carbon steel and stainless versions.

From the 1941 catalog -

METHOD OF ASSEMBLY

The handle is forced on spring tempered forks of blades. Forks are expanded until lugs reach recesses in handle where they drop into a permanent locking position and cannot be removed.

It’s kind of a mixed bag this week. I got the first two at the Red Barn/Vancouver Flea Market and the other three at the Cloverdale swap.
The little ‘End Of The Day’ celluloid is a Kent. Yes, she has a name. ‘Autumn’, obviously!
The really battered wreck it a mystery. I can see ‘Cutlery Co and the arched letters above it seem to end in ‘ford’.
I took pity on it and as it was only a buck, home it came. I used leather to fill the holes in the bone. Then I covered the leather in glue and gave it some texture. I’m going to get some brown nail polish to cover it. Yes, it exists.
The multi tool seems to actually be bone. All I can see on it is ‘Japan’. Seems fairly old, and look at the can opener. Actually, I’m arguing with my buddy Leon over whether it’s a can opener or fish line cutter.
The little pearl is a Wostenholm. I like the fancy file. It was $5, so I probably did ok.
Last is the fish serving knife. The tag says c1820 but I really suspect that handle is French Ivory. I’m going to guess more like 1920. I really like the engraving so what the heck. It was five bucks too and I probably did get ripped off.
So, at least I didn’t get skunked and the Kent and Wostenholm are actually quite nice.

[zoogirl]

Yep, it’s a Wostenholm.

I found the 2 Bokers Saturday at the flea market. I found the Hen & Rooster, same day at the pawn shop. Can someone please help me out with the years that these might have been made? Sorry if I'm in the wrong forum for questions.

[Paladin]

REally nice old knives, Scott. I like the stag on the old Remington.

Ray

[TripleF]

Thanks!

I'm carrying that ol Remington right now Ray!!

Just got two today! The Blue Grass is a good looking for dress or show. The Rough Rider is a knife that just feels good. I love the weight, how smooth the blades open and the snap is perfect.

[doglegg]

Two good pick ups David.

[Bfeldman]

Today’s haul includes a couple interesting knives and an old adjustable wrench. The most interesting are the top left two, a German made Sword and Shield (which I’ve never heard of) and a gentleman’s knife stamped by C K & Co, Germany (which is understand was a Colonial brand). I also picked up a fixed blade Hammer Brand and a Colonial fish knife, both are very rusty and a Barlow shaped lineman’s knife marked “The Ideal” which I also know nothing about.

I’m curious if anyone knows anything about the Sword and Shield or the C K & Co?

Not sure which knife you're referring to my friend....I scored a couple fixed blades.

Sorry Scott I looked under the wrong post!

Stopped by my favorite thrift store today and found a genuine Camillus TL-29 for under $10, not too bad for a Tuesday! Shown as found and uncleaned, still trying to date it but I suspect it is from the 60's-70's. I have a couple of other TL-29's but this is the first I've found with the model number stamped on the hardwood handle.

[garddogg56]

Very nice tl-29

[Baykeeper]

Very nice tl-29

Thanks, my first new-to-me knife in a while, it's been slim pickin's for me this year so far, hopefully more will follow, (from my mouth to God's ear).
