Had a really good mail call last Friday. Took a while to post up pics because I couldn't find the stupid camera to laptop cable. 2 Westerns, 5 Kabars (6 if you split the twin set), a Kabar Buckle, and a pair of hard to get bayonets. This is what happens when you don't go to the post office for 13 days during the Covid "shelter in place".

Argentinian M1909 Bayonet

I've had one of those for years. Tang stamp was ground off. Never knew where it was from. Now I know it's from Argentina. Thanks for that.

Argentinian M1909 Bayonet

I've had one of those for years. Tang stamp was ground off. Never knew where it was from. Now I know it's from Argentina. Thanks for that.

This is a rare one - it still has the Argentine crest on it AND the serial numbers for the bayonet and the scabbard match. The M1909 was made all he way up to the 1950s as the Mauser rifles they were designed for were still in service.

In the late 1950s Argentina started purchasing and then making the Belgian FN-FAL rifle, using the Type A FN-FAL bayonet for them.

In the 1960s, the US sold a small pile (12K+) of M1s to Argentina. The Argentine army used M1 bayonets, modified M1891 and M1909 for the M1s.

The M1891 came in 2 flavors - an aluminum alloy handle version for the Army and a brass handle version for the Navy and Police Service.

Most Argentine bayonets had the crest ground off when taken out of service. Sometimes the crest is just kinda scored off and sometime the crest, the arc of words over the crest and the serial number are all removed almost entirely. I guess it depended on who was grinding that day.

This morning, my trip to the post office produced this knife. It's a GEO SCHRADE, single blade/fish scaler, wire handle pocket knife. This one has two tang stamps. It required very little cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

[Sharpnshinyknives]

Skip, does that blade lock? Wondering how you could use the fish scaler side safely if it doesn’t?
Nice knife, looks to be in great condition.

Thank you Mark. If you're using the blade, it "locks." If you're using the scaler, no, it doesn't "lock." It isn't really loose, but it will shut with the wrong amount of pressure. The tang is slightly curved and is a perfect place to put your thumb if you're using the scaler.

I just retrieved my latest acquisition for the zoo from the post office. It's a 2 blade, "longhorn steer head" pocket knife. It is an Imperial. Only the blades needed some cleaning. I cleaned them, took some pictures and here it is.

A few days ago I was going over my knife inventory and it suddenly occurred to me
that I didn't have very many Swiss Army type knives. So I believe that is where I
will concentrate my efforts for awhile. Here are two that the Post Rider brought
me today.

The red composite handle "Gardener" knife. Also called a "Floral" knife.
The red "Recruit" multi-tool knife.

[jerryd6818]

They are fine knives, David and I would like to suggest you try at least one of the Alox variations. I find the Alox and the yellow versions very aesthetically pleasing.

Not my knife but it soon will be.

Nice Jerry! Reminds me of my cap gun grips back in the sixties when we had real metal cap guns. If you get tired of looking at that one I'll send you my address

Bill, there's plenty of them on eBay.

Today's trip to the post office produced these two knives. The first is an EDGECO CUMOSA, single blade, pocket knife. My second EDGECO, my third Cumosa. The second is a PASTOR ALEMAN (German Shepherd), 2 blade, 1 tool pocket knife. The EDGECO didn't need any cleaning. The PASTOR ALEMAN just needed a very light cleaning. I took some pictures and here they are.
