All About Pocket Knives

Yes Dave it's a Frosts Mora laminated steel made in Sweden!

Knice haul pal!!

I picked up my auction purchases from this weekend. The Buck 110 Stag Damascus for $55 and the two Kershaws, a Blackwash 4 pc. kit and a RJ Martin both for $30. ____Dave

Dave, that Kershaw 1735 Zing looks to be in excellent condition. That's a good find. Check out the eBay sold listings. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R ... Complete=1

Thanks Jerry. I didn't know anything about it when I bid except that I liked it. All three are unsharpened and the other Kershaw was still in it's bubble wrap so I was pretty pleased with the auction. I lost on a real nice Carhartt vest but I got the important stuff. ___Dave

Another knice haul Dave!

I shoulda jumped on one of them Zing's when they were affordable....

Found this Schrade Walden Navy Rope Cotton Sampler today

Nice snag, Scott! On the handles, do you see any faint outline of a "K-TING ROPE" stamping or etch? Both of the knives I have on that frame have it stamped into the pile side handle but the older and more used example is so well-worn that you have to catch it at just the right angle to see it.

Of course, it might not be present at all -- both knives I have are serrated and I believe yours is waaay older. Maybe there's a difference versus the plain edge, or they didn't start using it til the Schrade USA days...

At any rate, your knose for knives continues to impress!

No sir!! And if there were, I steel wooled it of because this rascal was loaded with paint and grunge......Thanks!

Thank Scott, I will keep that in mind.

Picked up a batch at the show today and thought I'd share 'em.
Not an offer to sell, by the way.

Apologies that they came out sideways. Maybe Jerry will stop by and get 'em upright. - Ray

Off your phone? Easy enough to reorient before you post them.

Jerry,
Thanks for the help. No, not phone but took those with my trusty Canon Rebel.

Ray

Wow! Ray, there are some nice lookin' knives in that big bunch! It'd take me 5 years to come of with that many.

Ray what is the congress knife one up from the bottom right in the last photo ?

Phil,
I believe that is an old stag KA-BAR. The guy I bought from was a KA-BAR fan.

Thanks, TF. It sure is fun to pick up a batch like that.

Knice haul Ray!!

Thanks, Scott. I thought it was a decent haul.

Ray

Wow Ray. That's a pile of what appears to be really nice knives. Great work. Do you take a shopping cart with you when you go to shows. That weight alone would have slowed me down. ____Dave
