Just got home and I had stopped in a pawn shop on my way.
I picked up this 6 1/4" MOORE MAKER INC. Damascus Fixed Blade.
I'm going to need to contact them to find out when it was made.

Case Older Fixed Blades, the bottom one is a Green Bone Pattern # 0600F in Script.
The other one I'm not sure what model it is

Cool old Cases Gary. Isn't the top knife an unknown pattern according to Sargent's?

I have posted this other places, but it belongs here too. Shoshui Takeda forged san mai, Aogami Super Blue core, micarta and mammoth ivory. I am really pleased with this knife. I will post pics in the sheath, as it is well made and locks the knife in place with wood inserts, reminds me of a traditional puukko sheath.

About Shoshui:

The third-generation master blacksmith Shosui Takeda was born and raised in Niimi, Okayama in Japan. After graduating from a university and working in Tokyo, he returned to his hometown to succeed his father as a blacksmith. Since 1985 he has strived and studied to produce the very best hand-forged blades and tools. His knives are forged by hand with his small staff of master smiths.

That's quite an heirloom, Montanaman! That knife screams quality and beauty. Enjoy that one!

Accented with the Blue Stone of Yemen. (Shown before, but it deserves an encore.)

Congratulations on that one!

Just arrived is a Condor Moonshiner, which is a pretty big knife with a nine-inch blade. I bought this to serve as a bolo-type knife when working in the woods. To quote the 1909 Abercrombie and Fitch catalog when referring to the Collins "Brush Knife" (often incorrectly called a Bowie); "An excellent camp implement. Used in same manner as a small hatchet, for clearing out trails, traveling through swamps, canebrakes,
etc." That was my basic idea, mostly for clearing fence lines and to accompany my chainsaw; or a smaller axe like the Estwing I keep in the bag with my saw chaps, safety glasses, and gloves.

It was on sale for $40 from $80, and uh, I couldn't refuse.

Check out the tang thickness!

Cody that looks like it ought to do the job for sure.

That is a very practical looking knife. Should serve your purpose, looking good doing it. And great price.

Posted these on the Gerber forum but thought I would put them here as well. My latest acquisitions at one of the local antique stores.Guy got a box of knives in and these were my picks that fell (almost)within my "knife budget". Wife hasn't eviscerated me with one yet so I think I'm home free.
The three Gerbers I got a fantastic deal on;I knew they were kind of pricey but I didn't think they were THAT pricey! The other one is on reflection probably Indian or Pakistani but still a nice knife and I like it.

You have a wonderful assortment of interesting, even exotic, knives. Some beautiful materials being used. Real eye-catchers.

Some REALLY beautiful knives! I particular like those two small horn handled ones.Who is the maker? These old eyes cannot quite read the name.
