That is a great find! Enjoy using it.Papa Bones wrote: ↑Sun Sep 05, 2021 3:07 am Picked this one up today locally. A Buck 704 Maverick with the Script "BUCK" Shield and Tang Stamp. I believe these were before 1985. Tight blade, no wobble and not abused. Figured it would go good with my 703.

This modern way of throw away society, those people will never know the joy of having something that has history and a story attached. There is a mystic about old cared for tools.

Now you have ME wanting a 704 go with my 703. 
As if I don't have enough knives already 
That's what my old buddy from Louisianan used to say to me, 
just a little different; "You done flung a cravin' on me" 
Nice picking!
That one day's score is about what I could find in a year. 
Maybe ... We got one sickly old flea market in town and most of it has turned into commercial Chi-Com junk... including the knives... Which one?

Very nice Glenn. Hope you kept some of those Queen knives that your granddad gifted you at Christmas. I cant recall ever getting a knife from a relative at Christmas but I sure wish I had.glennbad wrote: ↑Tue Sep 07, 2021 1:17 am Thanks Scott, looks like you did well yourself!
This isn't a knife, and wasn't necessarily a find. I was at my mom's house Saturday, and after I mowed her lawn, I went in to help her go through some stuff in the basement. We've been going through my dad's workshop area. He has a lifetime of tools, hardware, and other things down there. I have been enjoying finding things I remember my dad using when I was younger, nice memories. All of it is mine, but honestly, most of it I already have, or don't have room for at my house. SO, at this point we're just weeding out some junk, and setting aside stuff neither of us would use.
In going through some cabinets, I found this little guy. It's about 6" or so. Not sure if it was part of a kit, or something that would have sat out at a hardware store. I think my dad must have got it from his dad. My grandfather used to send me Queen knives for Christmas when I was a kid, so I think that's the origin. Regardless, a nice accessory for a knife lover!

I would imagine there are others. There's a boat load of that type of knife offered for sale on eBay.
Glad I could sling a cravin' on ya.
