I really like the muskrat!

The blue is stunning… looks even better in person

[Dan In MI]

I've been feeling really poorly for a week now and I'm way behind on everything, so I hope day old "Mail Calls" are O.K.!

Hope you're feeling better by now. And nice pick-ups from everyone!

[Madmarco]

Thank you Garry. I've had whatever this is for about a week now, and I'm told by others who've had it, it takes about 10 days to run it's course, so not much longer, hopefully. HNY my friend!

[Madmarco]

Thanks Dan for the compliment on my knife as well as the well-wishes, that's most thoughtful of you!

This antique vintage (sellers description, not mine) J.A. Henckels hunting pocket knife arrived today from the deep-end of the Bay! It's 9" oal and 6 1/4" closed, with a 5mm blade that I have to assume is SS because very little description was provided and I know little about steels, once again SS ringed bolsters liners and pins, what I believe to be a fulcrum blade release or perhaps it's classed simply as a lockback, and gnarly stag covers. It's a heavy knife weighing 8 or 9 oz.'s and came adequately sharp. It opens smoothly via n/nic and locks tight with zero play and closes by lifting the lever and pressing forward thus unlocking the tang from the 5mm back spring and sliding closed with a nice snap. I've asked for advise regarding the fit and finish which to me appears quite good, but wanted to know if I should make certain minor adjustments, and got great response from Mark and Bill. I obviously don't know much about older knives or types of steel hence my assumptions, I just know I liked it when I saw it. Not an inexpensive knife, but IMHO worth it!

Man Jim I am enjoying watching your USA themed knives grow

Man Jim I am enjoying watching your USA themed knives grow

me too… I love the search!

About 99 knives now and from 22 different manufacturers

Some old, some new, a few custom made

Such fun! Such a hobby, now such an addiction…

I can stop anytime… uh huh..


Beats spending time and $$$ in the tavern!

[garddogg56]

I gut that right

[Steamboat Willie]

I have a lot of similar knives, but this is my first 110.

I know I’m a little late to the party on this, but you can’t go wrong with that knife. A 110 was my 18th birthday present to myself, and I’ve been in love with them ever since.

Nice job cleaning the old dog up!

[Dan In MI]

Nice pick-ups, Jim and Mark!

Technically, this wasn't a mail call, as they were delivered by FedEx. But they did arrive today. The one with the master blade open is in my pocket, and it's quite the pocketful!

[Madmarco]

Thanks Dan! Your 2 new RR are gorgeous, I absolutely love the color! And I for one certainly consider deliveries by courier as "mail"!

[MadeinUSA]

This little ol’ Imperial arrived today 3.25” closed length

[313 Mike]

Great knives everyone.
Jim that Winchester advertising knife is really cool! Double sided with what looks to me like my old model 94 30/30 on one side! Great find, I will have to keep my eyes open for one of those.
My mail call today yielded me this cool old Camillus 72 !

[treefarmer]

MadinUSA,
Do you have any history on the Imperial with the Winchester advertising?
I've not seen that knife before, and it is very interesting.

Sorry, Treefarmer, I don’t

I bought it from Matt Sanders (Sanders Knives)… a seller here on AAPK

Here’s what was advertised

Imperial Prov. RI "Winchester-Western Jack Knife - Shell Handles - No Cracks - Snaps Open and Shut - No Wobble - Iron Bolsters and Liners - Nice Overall Used Condition - Approx. 3 1/4 inches closed.


Maybe Matt knows more?

Hi Buddy!
Great to see your back!
Knice additions!

[TPK]

Saw this Richards of Sheffield - Boy's Knife (RODEO Canada) floating around the Bay & just couldn't pass it up because of the original blister. I must say, I find it very cool in the blister. I also like the bail on it. And now, I don't know what to do with it.

Too nice to remove it from the blister to put it in my showcase. And I have no showcase big enough for it with the blister.

If anyone is interested in it maybe we can work out a trade? And if not..., I guess I'll need to get a bigger showcase. Or I could frame it and hang it on the wall. Not a bad idea.
We'll see. Maybe someone is interested in it, if not I'll have to give it some thought.

Thanks for looking friends!

[TPK]

Nice looking 72 Mike!
