Couple of nice ones Paul.

Got in a couple to add to my Camillus Family. One to add to my Steelies and one as a project.

First, a Camillus double line tang stamp NO.1 DURA-TOOL Hawk Bill. Like new, no use and excellent snap.

Next, a Camillus Long Line tang stamp, 1047 Boy Scout Whittler. Blades have great snap, are worn, and handles have shrunk and missing the shield. But this will be a project for a re-handle and cleanup and will make a decent EDC.

Nice Smitty! Really like the hawk-bill, and the Cami will make a great project!

That Cattleman's Cutlery Farriers Companion finally showed up today. Much heftier than I expected. Not bad for a PRC made knife especially at that price.

Cool looking knife Jerry. Gald it made it past the porch pirates. Now you need to get a pony!

My 1st experience with Opinel was many years ago, bought a bunch from SMKW for Christmas gifts for the school board maintenance crew. They proved to be reliable, gave one to my son at the same time and he dressed a deer with it. I had trouble keeping mine out of the washing machine. Some of y'all gave me advice how to dry it out.
Several years ago I bought 2 stainless one for my grandsons.
I saw this one in the shallow end of the bay and was able to capture it for $7.50. It's a #8 I think with the olive wood handles. All the earlier ones I bought were the the Beechwood handles.

Appears to be factory edge.

Nice catch T.F.! I've wanted an Opinel in my collection for awhile now, and with my penchant for BIG knives I naturally thought of the #13, but when I actually saw picture of one I changed my mind immediately, they're HUGE!

Guys I bought the whole collection last year and I have a few stray ones that I use in the shop (when I had a shop).
They are great knives.

Beautiful set David! It's nice having a whole set of a certain knife, I limit my sets to 9"/11" and 11"/13" and even those are starting to add up!

My trip to the mailbox produced these 3 today, 1 auto and 2 scale releases but one of them is only for closing, not opening!

An unmarked Russian prison built lockback auto!

An unmarked save for an etch saying "Wolverine" stud or scale release linerlock auto!

An unmarked manual opening/scale release closing Russian built big honkin' folder!

I recently purchased this old Kutmaster from the AAPK store from knifegnome. Love the old bones and the punch is a plus as well. A great seller to buy from.

That's a good lookin' old knife Dlegg!

[treefarmer]

Floyd, that's Kutmaster should wear the title of HOK, sure like the handles.
There are always plenty of these old 551 Camco Barlows for sale, most have lost a lot of metal but every now and then I see one that looks like it has full blades. This one came today and I was not disappointed.

A bit of light rust and a need to "oil the joints".

A quick run through the "Mothers Spa".

Blades cleaned up well and she now will bite you when she closes, a good solid snap!

You're like me TFarmer! I love finding an old knife with full blades. After that everything else is gravy! Good catch!
