Oh my goodness. If you found that it wasn't a junk box. Wow!!!

Nice score on that 2OT. I'm hoping to find something nice as I start (for the first time in about 3 years) hitting the flea markets and local junk shops. To me, it has to be cheap (which for most American or German bone-handle traditional and most modern not-Chinese tactical knives $20 is cheap; but expensive for many small, simple SAK models or most small American lockbacks), not Chinese or Pakistani; and in decent shape.

It's in better shape than most 2OTs I see. With me, that would have immediately become an EDC after filling that chip, but I can't wait to see what you do with it.

At first I thought it was a WW2 EO General Purpose Utility Knife but on a second look I realized that the blade was not a spear but a clip. Not in the best of shape but still a very sweet old 4 line knife. DSCN6998.JPGDSCN7000.JPG

Floyd, are you sure that EZ Open didn't start life with a spear blade which got ground down to a clip blade.

Here's a 4 line EZ Open.

And here's a 33 short line EZ Open with a spear blade. Compare the nail nick (not a nick but a long line).

I could be way off base but just sayin'.

you may be correct sir especially with that long pull falling off the end of the blade as it does. I’m prone to agree with you Jerry but nice old bone there Floyd, give her some pocket time.

Jerry, you could very well be right and you have respected agreement from Tom. I shall go with that opinion until future proof surfaces. Thanks for the observation.

New EDC. Got this one yesterday. Posted it elsewhere but I’ll show it here too. I think the handle covers are walrus?

BEAUTY!

EDC, though?? Really, Ken?

That would be a safe queen in my collection for sure.

I'm sure Ivoryman could tell you if the handle is Walrus or some other kind of ivory...that's his thing.

Posted: **Thu Jun 17, 2021 4:59 am**

Walrus or not, it's a beauty, that's for sure. I'd also keep it as a safe queen, but it looks like it would be a great carrier, too.

Sweet one Mumbley, should get some serious enjoyment from EDCing that. Beautiful piece.

I neglected to post this one yesterday: a new Camillus 27. The seller said they bought it new and never used it. Certainly looks new and unused!

Posted: **Thu Jun 17, 2021 2:51 pm**

Ken, Mr Stone showed off with that one. That might fall into the category of a barbeque knife. Would love to feel those handles.

Dan, that one is a worker. Great pick up.

Thanks to all who commented! I was fortunate to know G.W. Stone and visit with him at his shop so I know he made them to be used, even though his work soon gained a collector following. This one was already carried by a prior owner so I was glad to find one of his knives I wouldn’t feel bad about carrying.

Don’t worry, I won’t abuse it. Life is too short to carry cheap cutlery!

Congrats, that is a fine one, looks to be in great shape and a looker. Nice score.

Floyd and Ivoryman, thanks for the kind words!

Ken, I feel the same way about poor-quality cutlery.

Bid on this Barlow the other day and won it for $20.
I think I did good but don't know much about it.

The tang is stamped 493.

Sorry I can't help with info on the knife, but that ain't gonna stop me from admiring it! That's a beauty, LA!!
