50's Randall 7 and not sure the model of the newer one, both very uncaried condition

Wow those two are lookers. Gorgeous lookers.

Great looking Randalls Jamie!

Here's a few more pick-ups recently received from our very own "Q". The Schatt & Morgan bone 51 was an unexpected and greatly appreciated bonus "BOMB". Thanks again Q, for these beautiful knives... I love them all.

Thank you I’m glad to pick those two up.


Great group knifeaddict. Congrats. Looks like your collection suffers from the same issues as mine, we owe half of it to Q. Couldn't be from a nicer dude either. Cool knives, love that ivory and the giraffe bone, and the stag and shell, the pearl, wood and .....

I saw this little pen knife a few days ago and somehow it called my name. It's a Cornwall. This little knife according to research is at least 93 years old. Walk and talk is great, no blade wear, some blade discoloration, I'm pleased! 001.JPG002.JPG003.JPG

Nice score, love seeing brands I've never heard of before. And who doesn't love an unused 90 year old? Good one.

Whoa Jamie, those are awesome! Great seeing your posts too.

[Dan In MI]

A whole bunch of great pick-ups, y'all!

[Madmarco]

Beautiful bowies, Jamie, and oozing quality coming from Randall.
Long time no type, how have you been bud? lol!

Thanks for the compliment on the knives…it’s been a busy summer, just got back from the forth trip of the summer…was in Vegas for over a week….I’m hoping to stay home more, now that fall is here… we go to a handful of football games and stay just the weekend on those but now back to knife hobby…

Wow, sounds like you've put in some miles lately, good for you!
Good hearing from you, Jamie!

[Madmarco]

I have a back-log of about a dozen knives to post, so I'll start with this one!
9" oal RPK/Russian Prison Knife that's made of all-metal and feels great in my hand.
Fires well with secure lock-up and it's nice n' heavy.
This one came through ebay, and wasn't delayed at Customs, go figure.
This makes 7 of these I've purchased and each is different than the previous, they are truly unique knives!

[Madmarco]

Thanks Kim, glad you made it home safely.
I just recently lost 4 to Customs, so it was really nice to get this one.
Good hearing from you, girl!

[Madmarco]

Yah, thanks Kim.
I truly don't think we should feel like fools for having our knives seized, after-all, we were simply minding our own business and they decide to step-in and ruin everything. The fault is theirs, not ours!

"I just recently lost 4 to Customs," ..... Noooooooooooo!!!! .....

[Madmarco]

Yep, I'm afraid so, Dog.
It sucks for sure!

Every once in a while, a blind hog will find an acorn. That also applies to those of us who fish in the shallow end of the bay, I found a real nice little Boker USA 2169! The mother of pearl handles has a little bit of fire in them but I'm not able to capture it with my camera. Like a lot of these little pen knives, the blades still have the factory edge. This one has a closed length of 2 3/4".

Well Philip, that one is too fancy for bib overalls. It better go in Miss Joy's purse.

You're right about that Floyd! Way too fancy for bibs.
I could only find a couple of 2160s on the internet, one was attached with a chain to a "cut out silver" coin, they were asking $125.00!
In my original post I hit the wrong key, it's a 2160 not a 2169.
I suppose lots of these type knives were gifts for fancy folks as they're not big enough to be practical as an EDC.

Miss Kim, I believe I would figure out how to get the paint off the blade. The leather handle looks mighty good as does the scabbard. Makes one wonder if this one has been put away and the "paint" might be a preservative. On the other hand it might be reworked.
Pal is an interesting old company.

Yes ma'am, looks like according to eveled, your knife is apparently falls into the "on the other hand " category.

Well I'm back after a long Labor Day time off of several cookouts and smoking meats, and catching up as usual.

I saw this little pen knife a few days ago and somehow it called my name. It's a Cornwall,...

Very nice Cornwall Treefarmer. If your like me, you gotta love those tip bolsters.

Very nice, Treefarmer! That one bears quite a resemblance to a Syracuse Knife Co. that I have, with the exception of the badge.....

Super nice Syracuse Knife TMK.

Super Sweet find Treefarmer.

PAL US WW2 USN Military Mark 1 RH 35 Fighting Knife w/ Leather Scabbard???

I received this a few weeks ago (so it is technically a mail call I think - lol) and I'm not sure if this is authentic or not, but hoping it is

It looks like someone painted the blade with a dull gray paint, so the markings are difficult to make out.

I'm not sure why someone would paint the blade or if I should try to remove it

Anyway, I'm hoping someone on here can help me out with this sucker. I posted it in the Knife Q & A thread, but I don't know how much traffic that thread gets, so I'm just putting it out here too.

Cool find Kim. It almost looks like someone may have applied a dry film coating. Nice looking knife though!

Cool knife! Have one of the newish Colonial repos of the Mk.1 Curious on how much you had paid for it.

Picked up three good old EDC's at the antique market yesterday. Some rust removal, elbow grease and oil, and I have some keepers1
Got a great deal because of their condition, but that's how I like it. That way I get to make them mine with some sweat equity!

Case XX 40-64 Grand Daddy Barlow.

Wards 390 Cigar Jack:This one did need a new pivot pin, so that was my evening project. Came out well. No wiggle and she walks and talks again..

[doglegg]

3 great knives! And great fix.

Thanks Dlegg! i love getting a broken knife for $5.00 and bringing it back to life!

[Madmarco]

Thanks for your comments, Smitty, when you hadn't posted anything for a couple of days I was worried you were M.I.A. again, but gladly that's not the case!


I have to agree with Smitty, Kim, your bowie looks like a dry film coating was applied to the blade.
Reworked or not, it's a fine looking knife!


You made the score of the month with your $5. purchases, Kerry, with clean-up and/or repair skills like yours you don't need to ever pay for a new knife again!
Nice catch, buddy!

[Madmarco]

I picked-up this little number recently cuz I liked it's profile and stag covers, and once I handled it it didn't disappoint!
Completely unmarked 8 1/2" oal top-lock with a needle-point blade, all steel hardware, top-lock blade release, dual studs, copper lanyard tube, and beautifully weathered stag covers. I like this knife!

Congratulations on a great find!
I agree, Ians though I may buy a few good knives, most of mine need some TLC in order to be carried.
Lots of fun!

Thanks Reverand! Yep, I have a few case queens, but I really like the ones that could tell us a few stories..
