Really mint and really nice Paul! Good find. OH

Re: It's In The Mail
Thank you Tom. I like those knives of yours also.
Ha! I had that one in my watch list, but I decided to save my money. Good work - you stole it!TwoFlowersLuggage wrote: ↑Mon Jan 13, 2020 5:42 am [quote=New_Windsor_NY post_id=786330 time=<a href="tel:1578874835">1578874835</a> user_id=31046]
I just acquired this Camillus 72 "short line" for best offer. When I receive it, I'll give it the once over, take some pictures and post them in the appropriate location(s). Here it is.
Thank you TFL.

Re: It's In The Mail
I'd been looking at this Remington for quite some time. It was $50, with free shipping. Got one of those eBay "Private Offers" y from the seller for $40, and bit on it. First nice knife I've bought in a while. The Cordura sheath was supplied by the seller but is not original. Remington supplied these with open-top crossdraw leather sheaths, which I wasn't very confident about. I guess I can get a leather sheath made for the knife. The knife is supposedly new-old-stock that had lost the leather sheath. Remington came out with the Elite Series in 2006. I bought this for a woods carry, and heavy-duty EDC. 4.5" is on the big side, but not too big for EDC.
My information comes from the Remington website announcement about the series.
https://www.remington.com/news/2006/rem ... ing-hunter
Elite Series II 4.5" Hunting Knife: 440C steel, 4 1/2" closed, 3 3/8 blade. Aluminum handles with 3M "sandpaper" inserts. There is no clip at all on this knife. Made in Italy, by whom I don't know. I first thought Maserin, but nothing in their catalog matches it. I'm leaning more towards Fox as the maker who was contracted. It seems more like their style.

I second that Gary, that blade profile looks very usable. Great find Cody .

Re: It's In The Mail
I just obtained this pocket knife for "best offer." It's a Camillus, split spring, whittler pocket knife. All 3 blades have the 4 line tang stamp. Considering that these don't appear on the market that often, I jumped on it. When it arrives, I'll give it the once over. I'll take and post some pictures in the appropriate location(s).

Re: It's In The Mail
Found this at what I thought was a good price so it's coming to join it's brothers. Not something I'm really enthralled with but I've had the green camo edition for quite some time so decided this one should join it. You might say I picked it up on a whim. Of course none of you have never done that.

Re: It's In The Mail
Paul, I'm just full of surprises.
I just got it because it's a Mini-T and the seller accepted my bottom feeder offer. Shocked the bejesus out of me.

Re: It's In The Mail
Say Jerry that same CASE knife was soon going to be a purchase for me. The reason, on all of my grandchildren's 10th birthday they get a knife from me. I have 13 grandkids, 8 already have their knives, so 5 more to go. I have a granddaughter's 10th coming up this year and I don't have too many pink, purple, violet ect knives in my collection.

Re: It's In The Mail
As long as the 34OT has been around and as MANY as you see on the bay.....
I finally found a Schrade-Walden 34OT...
It's not the best but it will do for now.

I will soon have the original 5 Schrade Walden stamped (folding) Old Timers in my nasty little hands (and in my collection)....
The 8OT, the 25OT, the 34OT, the 108OT and the 125OT....
Yay....

Re: It's In The Mail
I can't say I've ever seen a Schrade Walden 34OT, despite the 34OT being Schrade's best seller for many years. I have one from the '70s-early 80s (first knife I ever had) with the SCHRADE NEW YORK USA tang stamp, then another from the late '80s. They are cheap, and kinda hard to resist, but so far, I have. I don't see why not, given I already have more Camillus Electricians than I can shake a stick at.Meridian_Mike wrote: ↑Thu Jan 16, 2020 8:36 pm As long as the 34OT has been around and as MANY as you see on the bay.....

Re: It's In The Mail
Well, I hope I didn't make anyone HERE mad BUT.... I got me a new (OLD) Old Timer over the weekend.
This one needs some help but I think it will dress up nicely. The main blade shows some use but not just a whole bunch. The mark side cover is badly busted up.....It looks solid and NOT very abused.
Here it is.... On the way ....
The 2OT I snatched out from under somebody.....

Excellent score! I think that might be among the best for 2020. As I understand, 2OTs are rarer than hen's teeth.
I wonder, what are you rehandling it with? Keep it close to original, or something fancy?

Thanks!!
Definitely my best score for the year! (AND a few past years too)
My plan is to replace the busted cover on the mark side and do a little clean-up.
I want to keep it as original as possible.
