Nice! I love small blades in super steels. They are the "sleepers" much like a small, hot-rodded economy car is. A small knife that can outcut a bigger one in a more pedestrian steel.

Because of the eBay Bucks, I brought it down from $31 to $26 with tax. I am buying a new-in-box version from a member here for the collection soon. Crosman had some really interesting blade layouts, all with locking blades.
The Crosman Blades 910A appears to be a common 3 7/8 Stockman by Camillus, but the sheepsfoot is serrated, and the main (Turkish Clip) blade locks. My camping/fishing/hunting Stockman is usually stainless steel, while my EDCs are usually carbon. This one is replacing a really beat-up Craftsman 95325, ironically, a Camillus also. I always carry a Stockman alongside a fixed blade and multitool when in the outdoors, mostly as a whittler. The Turkish clip and serrated coping blade ought to make some of the tougher parts of camp/hunting/fishing work (especially cleaning catfish--they taste great, but are hard to clean in the field) go a lot easier. And, unlike the Craftsman, the handles are Delrin, not wood. So more hygienic as well in addition to not having to look after the wood. I ain't retiring the Craftsman either. It's back to being a work knife.

Cool knife, I like it a lot..

My first two Cold Steel knives, which is a Mini Tufflite and what I believe to be a Gunsite Voyager L. I paid $55 shipped for the (well used) pair. Looking closer, the $45 high bid I set that won it may have been too much. The problem is the serrations on the Voyager L. One of the fine teeth are broken off, and the larger serrations have chips in them. Sharpening the serrations fully out will lose too much steel. Hopefully, I can dress that mess out without ruining the knife. The Mini Tufflite should just need regular cleaning and a light sharpening. Even if I do fix up the Voyager without a problem, I still bet I'll carry the Mini Tufflite more. I've wanted a Mini Tufflite since I saw them in a cabinet at a small regional department store chain as a teenager. It looks like a small knife that can easily take on big knife jobs.

Nice finds Cody! 
Especially that little feller! 
I finally ran across a Schrade 340T like I had bought myself as a boy & carried as an EDC up thruogh my teens. This treasure cost me about $40 shipped but I had to buy it anyways. Probably paid a little bit too much for it but I don't see these every day so I went for it. Looks like it's in pretty good condition. 
Can't wait to get my hands on it. 
Thanks for looking friends!

I like the Tuff Lite too. I will probably end up using the Tuff Lite quite a bit, the Voyager, not so much.TPK wrote: ↑Sun Apr 04, 2021 4:54 pm Nice finds Cody!

USA Schrades in non-used condition are steadily going up. $40 shipped I wouldn't call bad at all, especially given there's not even a rust spot anywhere.

One of my favorite Old Timer patterns, Tom. And, I think $40.00 for one that nice is very fair for an American made knife of that quality. Also, as you know, they aren't making any more of those (in America) that is!TPK wrote: ↑Sun Apr 04, 2021 4:54 pm Nice finds Cody!

Yes. I have seen the non American mades. I could buy one of those anytime I want (for about the same price) but I held out to get the "Real" 340T. I had already spent too much on knives for the month but I just had to buy this one anyways and I asked for permission from my Sweetheart before I hit that "Buy it now" button.
Caught her in a good mood. It's all about the timing I guess. I'm happy I finally found one of them after looking for a couple of years. As I said, I carried one of these for about ten years as I was growing up. Unfortunately, I gave it to a cousin of mine in MD before I started collecting knives. 
Anyways, I will have one again soon. And it's even in better condition than the one I gave away.
What I would still like to get some day is a 340T's that has been customized by Jeffinn. Love the work he does! Do these have SS or Carbon blades on them? The one I had was a bit rusted up but it was also used as a salt water fishing knife in FL.

These I bought as the seller had a Klein Tools folding (flat) honing steel. These were like the Gerber, and while not as easy to find, were usually cheaper. Suddenly, they jumped up from $20 used to $50 used. I lost out on that auction to say the least.
But, I did get these pocket stones. While a little too small for anything bigger than a Medium Stockman, they get the job done. They're too coarse for a proper edge, but good for a working edge. Good to stash in places when you've got a dull knife you didn't expect, or when with a friend who "hasn't had his camping gear out in 20 years" (and believe me, I had a whale of a time dealing with two dull fillet knives--and one pocket stone, and why I strongly recommend the Work Sharp Guided Field Sharpener). The one still in the blister card I have a modern version of, and while tiny, it makes short work of bad messes. It's so good, it's exactly what is found in the sheath of the Jet Pilot's Survival Knife to this day (except the modern version/ASEK with the pull-through sharpener).

These are from the eBay sales of a member of another forum. I got a pretty good discount on these as a result.
ISC (Schrade/Adler) CN91 "Apollo". In the 1990s Schrade had a line of Swiss-type knives produced by Adler in Germany, called the "Century" series. The names of the knives came from historical and (then current) NASA spacecraft. I don't view them as knockoffs. Main reason, Victorinox and Adler were the two main contractors to provide knives for the German Army (the old 108mm model), and Victorinox provided parts to Adler. The Apollo model is close to the Victorinox Huntsman. I offered $15 on this one, and it was accepted. That is a little cheaper than they typically go for.
I probably overpaid a little for this one ($20), as MSRP in 2013 (I don't think the model lasted more than a couple years) was $30.
Noble Outfitters 4 Aces Folding Knife: 4.6" closed, 3.3" 3mm thick part serrated blade. Pocket clip. For the most part, their knife line didn't sell too well, and most models are hard to find. The only thing I am not a fan of is the style of serrations. They aren't nearly as good as scallops or triple-point serrations.

Got a little carried away yesterday. Maybe in anticipation of the stimulus check. 
These three are wending their way to my front porch.
Oh well. Nothing over $20. That's right up my alley.

Currently awaiting a Lion Steel Mini. It's 3 1/4 inches closed. I bought mine from Mike Latham at collectorknives.net but his pics disappeared after I bought the last one.
Same Olive Wood model as in this DLT picture.
