You know, when I was hauling produce Publix would have rejected that baby.

One man's trash is another man's treasure.

Iman you could probably sell that for twice what you paid for it but I'm waiting on your next toothy example to give a thumbs up.

A little boker showed up in the mail yesterday. It is a Boker USA 9697 model with bone (I think) handles and no shield. 2 blade one being a sheep foot. Some blade loss and dull. Great pocket size. Don't know the age thinking 1970's to 1980's. Got it for a shade over $15.00. Thanks for looking.

These two were in the mailbox today.

CAMILLUS 14

I am flat hooked on the 14s.

I like Camillus period. But it seems that I'm ending up with 14's & 72's.
I am NOT complaining. I have another 26 and a 68 on the way.

Rick, nice Blade Forum Buck! Anxiously awaiting mine - should ship next Monday or Tuesday.

NewWindsorNY, some of the Queens never had a tang stamp, only a blade etch with the brand name and model number - I have a Half Congress made that way.

Ivoryman, that Rotten Banana bone is so cool - I'm going to have to obtain one.

Dogleg, can you fit a cartridge casehead into the hole? Don't know the size of the hole, but a nickel 357 MAG case head would look cool.

OH

OH, that is a super idea. I'll have to check which size will fit. Thanks.

I had the idea that if the shield fell out, that's how you could tell if you had a genuine Boker.

That statement is borderline genius Jerry. That seems to be an identifying mark of a Boker. I like your thinking.

Recently got this stag handled 3-9/16" pen knife off e-bay for the grand sum of 17.50 to my door. Used but solid with a lot of life left in it. Has smooth blade action, no half stops with medium pull and solid/crisp snap. Beautiful, (to my eyes), stag on the front but rear scale came a much lighter color and without the texture of the front scale. I did dye the back scale to darken it considerably to at least more closely match the front in color at least.
Front tang on main blade stamped; Solingen Cutlery/B. Svoboda/Germany
Back and on both blades stamped: Rostfrei

Greg, a great pick up. And a good job on the dying. A pocket liver for sure.

Nice dye job Sunknife, beauty now. Congrats. Can't go wrong for the price.

A couple new pick-ups. A Queen #10 jack and a Schatt & Morgan auto.

Ken I don't know anything about the S&M auto but the #10 is a beauty!

Thanks.
The S&M is going to take time to get used to. It seems to be a left handed knife.

Hey Ken, love to hear a review of that auto. I've looked at them many times for many moons, just can't bring myself to shell out that many clams. But they look great and I like the concept. Just wondered if they are a let down or worth every penny? Looks good from the pics. I like the idea.

Two great pick ups. Like Ivoryman those have caught my eye as well. Like to hear your opinion of them. Definitely interesting looking and desirable.

Congrats.

The Schatt & Morgan is a well made knife, I just really don't care for the opening mechanism. If I were a lefty, I'd like it better.
I'll probably never carry it so at this point I guess it's an investment.

These two arrived today.

CAMILLUS 26 (Yes, another one).
