Paid $40 between all four. Pretty pleased.
I'd be pleased, too! Would like to see a photo of the tang stamp on the 27 (a favorite of mine, by the way!) if it's not too much hassle.

These haven’t been cleaned from the way I got them yet so disregard the grime.

Not a huge deal; I've purchased used knives that were stuffed full of pocket lint, after all. And the 229 is yet another electrician's knife for me to hunt down. Thanks for posting the photo!

I like your latest finds!
Any old muskrat is great but the S&M is very interesting. I'm assuming it is a lock back, does it work as it should?
All of your finds from today appear to be HOKs!

Nice finds! The SAK looks like a Wenger, and I really like the Muskrat.

Thanks Dan! The Camillus model 20, has nice tight blades and I am going to soak it in a solution to remove the rust and a "Smitty-style" warm mineral oil bath. Then have my buddy "Montana Tim" sharpen the blades. It should look pretty good after clean up. The SAK is a Wenger with a serrated blade.... and I have never seen one like that on a small SAK before.
