Glad to see you get that one; I am glad I decided not to take it. What a nice knife!

That's a great one George, it's as crisp and clean as it gets.

Blue, it looks like an 18 pattern Medium Stockman with a little something ground out at the top right of the frame. OH
Ps Nice Boker's!

That's an interesting Case, Blue. Whatcha got there?

Nice Bokers. I like that stepped bolster. I have a small Congress like that.

Just arrived.....
In case you can't see the little MOP is a Q76 Queen.....so suhweet!

Great pick-ups, fellas!

Scott, you've got another nice haul. That Queen is a beauty!

Got his BUCK 303 from Old Hunter last week.. This is one fine carry!! And the F&F is real nice... John

Just added this Schrade Barlow to my scrimshaw collection today. While not all scrimshaw is successful, I think this raccoon definitely is.

John that's a fine looking yellow buck.

This was presented as an issue item to the German Navy. The only markings are on the blade: M F H in block letters and beneath those in smaller print INT. COMP. No other indications relating to Germany or anywhere else. It was shipped from Lithuania. Whatever its' provenance it is a very stout knife i.e. strong, solid, and tight from blade to handle to Marlin spike.

Thank You.. I like it.. John

Love that 206

A 2 dot 78 Midnight pearl 92042B. If anybody has any knowledge of the volume produced of these I would like to hear it. I know they made a collectors pair but I haven't seen many regular knives. Sorry for the bad pick. It's raining here and I just threw it up on a drum and snapped a pic. The knife is actually real clean.

You got it OH!
Why would someone do something like that?

Fished this 4" Colonial Anvil out of the bay. Handles are good except for one small chunk out of the pile side. After a Quick Release treatment the snap is great. I'm happy with it. Unless I find a 3¼" Anvil Jack, I think I'm finished with the Anvils.

Here's what came today but it was overshadowed by my POS Roundtable box that I received from knifeslinger#81 (see the POS Roundtable sticky).

A Queen 1982 Stag Series 8480 Muskrat. Nice fat stag that's pretty even on both sides. The bolsters are a little bit off with each other. Two of them are slightly slanted which causes them not to line up when seen from above. Still a nice knife anyway.

Here's a nice little 3" Marshall Wells jack knife.
I hope it was made by New York Knife Co.
Any one have any thoughts?
Thanks for looking.

That's a sweet little knife Joe. Just love it when the bone takes on that warm pocket-worn 'glow'.
And as my sir name is 'Wells' I'd like to hear a bit more about 'Marshall Wells' ... I assume perhaps a Hardware Chain(?)

Derek

Thank you, Derek.
Yes, Marshall Wells was a good hardware chain ......... long gone ............
Glad you like the knife.

Sweet blade shape, somewhere between almost a wharn and barely a spear.

Good observation Ivoryman.The shape is a bit unusual.

I don't know anything about how many were produced, but that's a good-looking knife, Kerry.

This Western W36 and Imperial BSA!

I don't have a clue why I bought these but I did and they're here now. All are assisted opening except the orange and tan Rough Riders. The little Meyerco has a "fire starter" rod stuck down in a scab on the pile side of the handle but I can't get a spark out of it. I actually kind of like the black Rough Rider. I think it's the blade profile.
