Camillus was rusted, no snap cleaned soap & water , spray lube and now snaps ok. Also practiced stoning nicks from #21 pen blade, both will be used

2 nice purchases, really like the wood scales, and you have done a great job cleaning them up, well done.

Thanks it's fun to have something to work on , been using the Camillus and may give the B&S to my cousin .

Yesterday's post office pickup, this latest addition to the zoo.

Today's haul arrived via TripleF. Schrade N.Y. USA 8OT and a Schrade Walden 881Y. Believe it or not this is my first OT. Thank you Scott.

Those are some nice pick-ups Skip and Rotten.

I had an awesome knife week as well.

1 Gerber Gator, 1 Case Sharpening stone, 1 Böker Blue Grass Tools, and 1 pimped & customized Purina.

Hier is a link to the Purina rebuild by DocB.https://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/kn ... 37&t=64165

Some useful and also novel knives TPK. The little tool knife catches my eye and of course the Purina.

I received these two little guys today. I'm quite happy with them!! I bought them as two separate auctions from the same seller. I didn't ask for combined shipping, but when the seller shipped them, they included two $1 bills in the combined package. I think that was awesome - a very nice thing to do.

Two Great looking knives! Nice!

You're welcome pal!! Enjoy!!

Some from today....

Flea market today. A gift knife made in 1981 by the Kintex arms company. Made in small circulation on the occasion of the 1300th anniversary of Bulgaria and has never been available for sale. Unfortunately missing pommel. It was bronze, shaped like the head of a lion, eagle or ram.

I like those Bowie's knives. You can probably fix the pommel. Have you built anything lately?

Yes, I can make and put some pommel, but first I'll try to find an original one.
I have two knives that I hope to finish next week. Unfortunately, lately I have become known to friends, neighbors and colleagues and have been constantly carrying knives for repair and sharpening.

This Buck 722 Spitfire landed in my mailbox yesterday from an anonymous gifter. Thank you, my friend!

Solid lock up and scary sharp.

Rick, I predict you're going to love it. I have several and am enamored with them. In fact I am saving up for the new color releases which may or may not be acquired.

Fished this little 72 clone out of the bay for a whopping $10. No marking but for the bird on the shield. More pics in the 72 clone thread.

This set of Chinese Cannons came today. Condition is just as mediocre as the first two I bought. Time to stop wasting my money.

I know Paul prefers bone Schrade/Craftsman knives to Delrin but I'm nowhere near his level. Fished this Old Crafty out of the bay, I think it has Imperial-Schrade lineage. Bolsters are solid and I love the stamp. Been having some luck with bottom-feeder Barlows as of late.

Fresh off the USPS truck....

Those are both beauties TripleF! If I was a Puma collector I would be all over that little Gent. The stag is gorgeous.

I seem to recall Jerry is a Puma collector...

Nice ones TripleF! I tried to buy a Puma off the bay a couple of weeks ago but they drove the price up higher than a new one. Now that your holding one, would you tell me if their blades are stamped or not?

Thanks for the info,

Tom

Lionsteel Gitano

Case Mini-Copperlock, 2014, bought today in a knife shop. Funny that it has an as-ground SS blade like the working knife series, but is paired with jigged bone handles instead of Delrin. OH
