All About Pocket Knives

Sweet collection of blues, June.

More beauts all around.

THANKS ,RED
APPRECIATE REPLY!!!!!!!!

Saw this 10 dot Muskrat at a local antiques place, at $30.00 maybe a little overpriced based on condition, but I didn't have one in the collection. It was mislabeled as a Case XX USA 65-69 but once I ran a little polish across it, the dots showed up.

I'm a little curious though, It looks like the handles are red bone, but neither Voyles nor Sargent's lists a 10 dot red bone. i'm open to any suggestions, corrections or opinions.

Sargent list a 10 Dot ( 1970 ) Muskrat w/Bone @ $350. What a great buy

Which edition of Sargent's are you using?

It might be time to upgrade from my handed-down 1992 3rd edition.

7th edition page 207

Thanks Dragline, now all I have to do is find one!

Sam, Nice knife, what a buy!!!

NICE SNAG ON THE MUSKRAT

Thank you gentlemen! While this knife isn't anywhere close to mint, it's still a sharp little knife that will fit right in with what I've already got.

This shop had maybe two dozen other knives as well, I grabbed a well loved PAL Easy Opener for under $30 at the same time as the Muskrat. They also had a vintage German Boker, some new Marbles fixed blades, a couple more Case knives I might go back for and a Western that seemed pretty decent. None would ever qualify as mint, but I think a knife with a little history is more interesting.

Who'd want a rookie when you can have an experienced veteran?

Picked this one up at the Central Ky. Knife Show yesterday. Not the best example but I have been looking for one of these since I didn't have one in my collection. CASE XX 5391

Tom

Wow !!! That's a nice old Whittler, and very Rare

Larry

You guys know how to find them!

WAY TA GO , JLW & OLDER............

ROYAL : watch it!!!! I STAYED AWAY TOO , was couple years fer me, now im HOOKED on these BLUE NEWBIES

SEVERAL YEARS AGO: I HAD A TON OF ISSUES WITH NEW CASEXX and I stayed far away
kinda glad i took a break from em now.... nothin but good ones have showed up since

Way to go Tom.

Thanks for the encouragement guys. I think the big whittler was my best snag of the show

Tom

Tom, that's one I would probably have sprung for too. Scarce pattern especially from Tested and XX era.

Ken

Just got this one in today...USA era 31048 SP....not in the best condition, but she is an HOK for sure. Still solid and snappy too.

Great find Mike
