When I got home from my errands in town the Post Rider had brought me the two Marble's.
I'm not really impressed with the Ram's Horn Canoe, but that Scout/Utility is a well made
knife. I would gladly carry it. On my way home I stopped at two pawn shops. That's an old
Rough RIDER Trapper and is in very good shape. It is one that the shop manager was carrying
and I bought it right out of his blue jean pocket. The yellow handle Trapper was a real find
for me. It's a Moore Maker from Matador, TX. The last one is a 2012 CASE Mini Trapper 6207W SS.
Not a bad days work. :D
Real nice "Pick-Ups" David.. ::tu:: Nope.. I would say a GREAT DAY!!! ::nod::

Picked up these guys. Not my usual niche. I'm into the 70s - 80s Japanese stuff but I went through a Bucket 'o'. Knives at an antique store and these were the best of the bunch

Nice haul David! ::tu:: Your Ram's Horn Canoe appears to have a substantial dent in the front-bottom bolster, am I seeing that correctly? ::shrug:: 8)

Well, it's really just a whisp of a knife Garry! Only weighs 3g. over 2 oz.'s, and would likely only be useful for opening letters, cutting strings, and such. ::nod:: Definitely not one to bring to a gun fight! ::not_saying:: I'd never seen anything like it and that's why I bought it, and although it's not what I was expecting, I still like it! 8)

Thank you Sir. What looks like a dent is the pinched bolsters that several brands are now using. Also my bad photography skills.

P-O-P...some nice finds you dug out of the bucket. What some of us wouldn't give to search through a 'bucket o' knives'. Some lost treasures waiting to be found again.

Well, I bought this knife is spite of some beautification committee signing off on the swirling apparatus to improve the aesthetics of the bolsters and springs. :roll:
I was just so taken with the frame pattern and of course the Cargill name that I decided, if I won it, I would pack it.
Maybe the swirlies would disappear in my pocket in time. I don't care about all the dates and time and place.
I just wanted a nice pearl packer. I think I got one. 3 5/8"

Whoa, Joe, you are on a roll. You are packing a pretty one! ::nod:: ::tu::

A young man that rented a room from my son in Washington, met a lovely young lady and recently got married. I was approving before they got married and asked if she liked pocket knives and she said yes as her dad collected Bucks. She carries a Buck fixed blade in her car as a just in case tool. She passed on to her dad that Cary's dad liked knives and he graciously sent me this little Buck sheath knife. Wow, Christmas came early. The pictures tell the story.

Question for you? I had one of those once and the blades had not been sharpened. Wondering if the blades on yours are sharpened or not? Mine didn’t even have a bevel.
