All About Pocket Knives

Garddogg, that American Knife is a real looker. Beautiful scales.
I find 5 possible Mfgs in Goins. 3 in Connecticut, 1 in Florida and one in Newark, NJ.
Also 1 in Germany and 1 in Japan. Yours looks U.S.A. to me.
What a good looking knife. Ya never know what your gonna find.

I dig it too Bug, my first teardrop.Thanx Joe she was made in Winsted Ct ..I'd like to know what year?

American Knife Co. operated in Winsted from 1919 to 1948.

How do you know it was made in Winsted?

Not really sure,both tangs are really faint i used a magnifing glass still couldn't read it under the word AMERICAN SO i FOUND A KNIFE ON THE FLEBAY they looked the same

Ah, you old sleuth, you.
They made some fine knives in Winsted.

ya

The rest of the flea MKT and garage sale hits,Camillus scout,Imperial electrician and a six dollar Bench made 800 AFCF in ats-34.

OH BABY..............SCORE!!!

thanx Bug Don't U have one of these 800's??what is suppose to be on the scales??

I HAVE THE:
812 = MINI AFCK - WITH BLACK G10 SCALES AND MEDALLION INLAY
& THE 840 = ASCENT - SAME AFCK WITH THE FIBERGLASS STYLE HANDLES
-*** NEITHER OF MINE HAVE A MODEL # STAMPED/ETCHED ON THEM...I HAD TA RESEARCH EM

I THINK YERS WOULD HAVE BEEN G10 (SCREW CONSTRUCTION) SCALES AS "I THINK??" THE FIBERGLASS/NYLON TYPE ARE RIVETS

YER SCALES "LOOK" FOREST GREEN AND HAVE A COOL DESIGN ON EM'
AFTERMARKET SCALES LIKE THAT GO FOR AROUND $60-$100 ALONE

Ya Bug g-10 scales, no markings on mine either just bali-song in the butterfly,old style clip,late 90's vin and titaniun liner like my mini stryker.

Are you kidding me GDOGG $6.00 for that Benchmade.....Holy SHEE-ITE!!! Awesome bro! The Knife Gods have gifted you immensely!

Picked up a few kitchen knives today and a few more sharpening stones! 2 of the stones are Craftsmans with box!

thanx Scott you've done well for yourself

NICE SNAGS,SCOTT

Thanks fellas!

Got a few things at the flea market yesterday. Couple of pretty good old knives, an old Remington display case (board not original), a new Queen lockback whittler (price was right. Besides its a whittler!) and an old whetstone (needs cleaning) on a homemade folk art type base. Didn't get the sign (they wanted a small fortune for it) but thought y'all might get a laugh out of it so took a picture for your enjoyment.

Here's a few I scored at the flea market a couple weeks ago.


Yes, that is the price of that Ulster whittler... I couldn't get my money out fast enough, and didn't bother to dicker. An excellent knife, the blades appear mostly unused, and there is still an etch visible on the main.

Wow glennbad, that is a great score on the Ulster whittler!! That is one fat master blade.

Beautiful Ulster. Got a picture of the backsprings?

Glenn, great deal on the Ulster.
The stuff I run into down here I wouldn't stir paint with.
