Hey Mike, the top knife is a real beauty.

Stopped into one of my local antique malls in Denton and here is what I found today. BTW if you are driving north on I-35 there are two antique malls,
The Antique Gallery and The Antique Experience, just north of Denton on the east side of the interstate. Between the two of them there is a very good selection of fixed and folding knives and the prices are not too bad when discounted 20%. Here we have a Camillus, a Uncle Henry and a SOG. In over 10 years of collecting this is the first SOG that I have bought.

Picked these up at a garage sale,said he would have more tomorrow.G.C. Co.Italy 7" closed stiletto,Paron ,German stag fixed blade, CF Wolfertz Co , Allentown PA.Any idea on the age of the stiletto.

Pretty amazing from a garage sale. Of the 3 the Wolfertz catches my eye. But the other two are really knice knives.

I rarely find knives at garage sales,he is cleaning out his shed and said he used to do flea markets ,heading back first thing in the morning to see what else he finds.

Good luck!

A couple of weeks ago I picked up this new machinists chest at the Webster flea market. Finally got around to putting some knives in it this afternoon while it was too hot to play outside. I found it's not quite big enough but it's a lot better than what I had. I had intended to put new Case knives in the big space on the top. Ended up putting most of my used Case knives in that tray. I used the bottom drawer for Queens, the next drawer up holds Camillus knives. The 6 smaller drawers are just right for smaller groups. I have one with special knives from friends, one with tiny knives, one with my small group of Pal Cutlery knives. Had to stuff most of my Schrades in two of those drawers, like I said, the box ain't big enough. The chest will make it a lot easier to share my accumulation with folks that are interested in knives. I'll just leave my NIB knives in their boxes and be surprised every so often when I check on them.

That makes a great display Phil, congratulations on your new knife chest!

Phil, that is a beautiful chest and display.

Phil,
That is a dandy display!

Ray

Awesome machine chest there Phil!!!! NICE!!!
John

D) All of the above.
Looks great, Phil!!

The 2nd pic is better than the first. That little chest is serving it's purpose. Glad you are getting to enjoy it and will make it easier to enjoy your knives.

Nice!!!

Thanks for the kind words, fellers! I've had fun rediscovering some of my accumulation, still looking for a few special knives that are hiding somewhere in a Piggly Wiggly sack or a cigar box. I've also found a lot of POS roundtable ammunition. My biggest concern now is the little 6225 1/2 that I wanted to put with all the other used Case knives has disappeared from sight.
