Very nice.

Thank you Smitty.

I just bought these two knives for best offer. First up and the first four pictures are of this unbranded knife. It is stamped ROSTFREI on the tang (I know what it means). It's a single blade, 4 tools, "deer head" handle, scouting/camping style pocket knife. This will fit in nicely in the zoo. Due to the lack of pictures, I can't tell what condition it is actually in. From what I can see, it looks like it's in pretty good condition. When I receive it, I'll check it out. Pictures will be taken and posted in the appropriate location(s). Next up and the last two pictures are of a CAMILLUS, 3 blade, main blade etched, stockman, "YELLO-JAKET" pocket knife. It has the bee shield. It looks good and I'll check it out when I get it. I will take some pictures and post them in the appropriate location(s).

Hey Skip, don't you just love those yello Jaket's with the bee shield. Probably my favorite shield on the 72's.

Yes I do Floyd. This will be my first bee shield. I'm always on the lookout for the "72" variation and I will get one.

I purchased this Utica Kutmaster earlier in the week. Should be here monday. Yellow handle 3 blade Stockman. Supposed to have good snap. Will see when it arrives.

Sharp looking knife Smitty, no pun intended.

Very nice find PB! Congrats!

So we lost one of our Opinels, we've started using them for our paring knives almost exclusively. They just feel great in the hand and are larger handled and good for/ in our old arthritic hands. The boss said the best way to find something lost is to buy another, ( something that was discussed here recently by the way), anyway I, after a couple of weeks, looked for one on the bay yestiddy afternoon, found one for 18 bucks or best offer, dickered with them a bit and got it for 12, fast and free shipping. I ain't hardly got off the PC and sweet thang hollars out I found the knife, ( it was under her recliner)I says it figures I just bought another one.

It's Murphy's Law bighomer. Nice looking "replacement" Opinel.

You got yourself a steal & deal there. Which size is it?
You're tempting me to buy another one. Get thee behind me Satan.

This morning I obtained these two items for best offer (less than $12). The "title" of the ad made it sound like both items were made in Mexico. I contacted the seller a few days ago and asked if the knife was made in Mexico. The seller replied that ALL the information was posted in the ad. Here is the "title" of the ad.

"Vintage Multi Pocketknife & Leather Holster Brown Belt Pouch MADE IN MEXICO."

I know the sheath is made in Mexico, but the knife is a mystery.
Here is the item description.

"ESTATE FIND
Pocketknife & Holster
Please use the "ASK SELLER A QUESTION" link if you have any questions or concerns."

I sent the seller the same question about the knife being made in Mexico, this time I received NO reply.
So, pictured below are the items. I have a tiny amount of hope that the knife was made in Mexico. Maybe one of the Imperial or Colonial, Mexico knives. I'm not even sure about the number of blades/tools that the knife has. There was another picture of the sheath, but that's it for pictures of the knife. Hopefully it's not made in Pakistan or China. When I receive it, I'll know for sure. That is, if the knife is branded. I would love to add the knife to my "South Of The Border" collection. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I bought a knife last night. I don't want to post any pictures until I receive it and clean it up a bit. As a teaser, I've posted a picture of "a" tang stamp that is on it.

Hmmmmmmm. I've seen that on two different styles. I will not say and let the cat out of the proverbial bag. Congrats.

Thank you Smitty. When it arrives, you will see if what you think it is, is actually what it is.

I also know of a third style, but the tang stamp is vertical on the tang and not horizontal. So I know it's not that one. Look forward to seeing it when your ready to show it off.

I just bought these two knives for best offer ($20, tax & shipping not included). Two Imperial, fixed blade, "Moose Head" knives. Both have leather sheaths and one has a fish scaler. Both will be welcomed into the zoo. They both look like they're in EXCELLENT condition and won't need to be cleaned. When they arrive, they will get the once over. I'll take some pictures and post them in the appropriate location(s). Here they are.

I love the classic stockman with the bright yellow handles. Great shape too. Are we thinking 1960's?

Skip, you might have the world's preeminent collection of buckhead/forest faux-stag releases already, and I only learned of their existence when you started showing em off here.

That's what I figure, late 60's to early 70's maybe.

Tony, Skip is definitely the king of the cervid head knives
He's about cornered the market on wire frames also. More power to you Skip, keep up the good work. x10.
