Smitty, I would, except for one tiny little problem. I'm a hoarder and have a miserable time letting go of something in my pile. I may not like it but it has a home here until death do us part. And so it goes.
I know the feeling Jerry!!

Received these this past Friday and Saturday. Just now got around to some photos.
First, I purchased these from our friend Cal aka:tongueriver. I had been wanting a Schrade 163 Rope knife, and wound up getting two. The first a Schrade Walden N.Y. U.S.A. with the model number stamped on the pile side of the blade. The second is a Schrade Walden N.Y. U.S.A. with model number on the mark side. It has the serrated blade and bale on the handle. Both knives have gator snap on the blades. I will post more about them in the Schrade thread.
Next is a Queen Steel #21 Sleeveboard with winterbottombone handles I fished out of the bay. The main blade has the "Qsteel " tang stamp, along with the Queensteel #21 blade etch. Both blades do have some light scratches, but are tight with great snap. The handles don't have any chips or cracks that I can see, but the pile side does have some stains.
Lastly, another one I couldn't pass up. A long line Camillus 72, which has the Caramel brown color Delrin handles. The blades do have some scratches, some spots, but have not been abused, and have very hard snap.

Nice pick-ups, Smitty! I wouldn't have been able to pass up the 72 either.

Another one I fished out of the bay last week. Just now finished cleaning her up. It had rust, crud in the blade wells, and blades were stiff. Gave it the usual warm mineral oil bath, flush and cleaning the blade wells. 4 oooo wool on the blades and bolsters. I saw potential for a good EDC and here she is. 3-3/8 inch closed Jack Knife. Schrade Cut. Co. Walden N.Y. tang stamp on both blades putting it in the era from the 1920's to about 1945. Both blades have great half stops, yes they are worn, yes they have spots and some pits, but now has surprisingly good snap and just a smidge (yes smidge is a technical term) of wobble on the secondary pen. The bone handles are pocket worn, but no cracks. It has three pins, long bolster, steel liners and didn't come with a shield, so I believe this is a pattern L2153. I have sharpened the blades, oiled the joints and now have a great little EDC Schrade. Here are some photos, the last one from a 1926 Schrade catalog

Got my "Grail" knife today via my friend Jamie from our very own JamieinWV, and he put a lot of effort in helping me secure my copy! It's this inexpensive all-chrome Milano auto stiletto measuring 9" oal! I've been coveting this knife for close to 10 years but due to where I'm situated I could never order one, but we used my special shipping loophole to get this copy to me! I'm a sucker for shiny! He even threw in a very nice gift of this Rough Rider watch/change pocket lockback! Thanks buddy!
