It's In The Mail

Good find, Skip. I'm going with Schrade made. Look it over when you get it and see if you can find any evidence of bolster pins. I'll bet you can't which says "Swinden" which says "Schrade". Plus the jigging says Schrade/Ulster. The main blade saber ground on both sides makes it an early one. Did I say "good" find. I meant "Excellent" find.

Thank you Jerry. I can't make out what the shield says either. I can't wait to get this one.

I'm pretty sure it says "Craftsman" which, of course, would make it a 9494 which you are after.

(it could be a Schrade 863 or an Ulster 63. You'll probably never know for sure but you will know it's a Craftsman.)

I just ordered a GEC #92 Eureka Jack in Elderberry bone, from TSA knives. Hey, maybe they'll get it shipped today. I've wanted one of these since they were first released in 2013. I love everything about these from the size to the blade compliment. The only thing that could make it better would be for the handles to be burnt stag but I'm just fine and dandy with the Elderberry bone.

....jerry, that looks an awful lot like the CAMILLUS #53 you sent me????............ ....................

That is one VERY good looking piece of cutlery.

It does, doesn't it. About the only difference is size and of course the secondary blade. The 92 is 3-5/8" closed like the Camillus 72 while the 53 is only about 3".

[carrmillus]

.....the only 2 knives I've carried lately are the "53" you sent me and the old Waltham whittler!!, can't carry the Waltham very long, after a couple of days of of opening it, I have to let my fingernails grow back!!!!........... ..............................

Bottom feeding again, rope knife is gonna have to be put to the stone, dull is the only word it, the China Colonial is pretty sharp will slice newspaper anyway.

I just purchased this Imperial Scout knife. My first with this style shield. Except for some blade spotting, it appears to be in very good condition. I'll give it the once over when I receive it and post MY pictures in the appropriate location(s). These are the seller's pictures.

Sweet Imperial Skip. Another one off the list.

Thank you Floyd. It seems that for every ONE that I remove from the "list", I end up adding more to the "list." It's an endless list! The hunt continues and continues and.............

[doglegg]

I know the feeling. I missed out on a Keen Kutter the other day, above my price range. Hope someone here got it. I do have one of the plain black bone ones on the way though. At least that is what I think it is.

I missed a beautiful minty pre-war cattle knife that went for a REALLY handsome sum, so I felt like I had money to spend. I don't collect scout or utility knives particularly, but once in awhile.... I hope this one shows up. Pre-war Dwight Divine official scout, mint in box.

Great score! When I first saw it, I thought it was the 1980s reproduction.

I bought these two knives yesterday. Another Imperial(?) "deer head" pocket knife for the zoo and another Remington R14, 3 blade, swelled center, wooden handled, "whittler" pocket knife. When I receive them, MY pictures will be posted in the appropriate location(s). These pictures are the seller's.

I've got an Imperial Frontier (probably actually a Camillus product?) 4514 on the way; for a user. It was a little less than $10 after I made an offer. The 3" lockbacks (like the 3OT) are good watch pocket knives, but are a bit small as a primary EDC. Full-size folding hunters are a bit overkill. At 4" this is just about right. I have the 4515; which is the same knife; but with wood handles and brass bolsters. It's part of my coal knife collection (etched Westmoreland Coal; and has the same name embossed on the sheath flap), so I don't use it. This one on the other hand will be a work knife.

[New_Windsor_NY]

This morning, I bought this U.S.A. stamped, "deer head" pocket knife. It "should" be joining the zoo sometime next week. It looks like the blades are going to need some cleaning. When I receive it and after I give it the once over, I'll post MY pictures (hopefully) in the appropriate location(s). These pictures are the seller's.

Camillus 50, sellers pic. Not really sure what the handle material is and I didn't see a pattern number on the back of the tang. Was hoping it would arrive today but it looks like it will be Monday.

[Old Hunter]

With all the knives I own, I haven’t done much collecting of ebony handles (outside of Buck 110’s). Saw this pre-war Keen-Kutter jack in the AAPK stores and ordered it yesterday. Should be in my hands Tuesday evening. OH

Ordered from AAPK store Old Cutler and Kabar

I have accumulated several of the Old Cutlers and have not been disappointed with any of them. Really and under rated knife.

Thanks looks like a great knife looking forward to it arriving later this week

I just had the winning bid on this Western W72, around $13 including shipping.
I am guessing that this was made on contract from Camillus? Some of this gets confusing, but what I know for sure is that it looks beautiful from the pictures. I can't wait to get it.

[doglegg]

Whoa Reverand, looks like you won the prize with that one. And what a great price. 72 clones are everywhere! Great pick up and looks to be in great condition. Congratulations.
