Took a charter out of the N. Myrtle Beach area this morning. Had a tough storm pass over us, caught a small shark, and got a free (cheap) knife from the Captain- what a country! OH

I'll tell you what garddogg that Gerber will come in handy for you. I carry the exact model with me every day at work and on average use it at least 5 times per day when I don't have my tool cart handy.

Nice, older Buck, Dogg. The blades really nestle down in that model, carries like a small pocketknife, yet with ample blades. OH

Good going garddogg. Buck and Gerber, back when I was a working man I used a Gerber then after a few years a Leatherman everyday. A bucket truck is just like a 2 story house, what ever you need is down stairs. It was knice having the multi tool handy.

OH what were you using for bait to catch that little knife? I bet it was fun.

Money! Most expensive junk offshore Knife I ever owned!

Doglegg and Rex ya gut that right they are handy,I hear ya about the bucket truck,try a 385' wind tubine looooong way back down the ladder ...OH looks like a fun trip,and yes them Muskrats carry small

Not usually into razors but I found a Henry Boker Tree Brand razor. Sadly it’s on the wrong handle. If anybody has a handle and or box for it let me know! It was worth $20 for me to have the blade at least. And something different for the collection.

Found this Victorinox Mini champ earlier today. Alot of wallop in such a small package!

385 is a skosh higher than my 34 feet. That's higher than the seats I get at the ball park!!!

Jvaughn glad to have ya. Don't know anything about razors, sorry. But I bet someone will be along and comment.
Woodwalker, amazingly intricate and useful.

That wooden handled small fixed looks an awe full lot like my Pal Brand. What is it? (The Pal is my favourite fixed)
I just realized I missed a page. I’m replying to Scott. You guys move fast!

Hello Friends,
I haven't been here for quite some time but I recently picked up something that I wanted to share with you all. My wife and I were up in the Gold Country in Placerville CA and came upon this wonderful little F Ward & Co Bowie. This is first knife that I've actually purchased in years but when I saw this little beauty I knew I was pretty much going to buy it. From what I read and also someone had also posted that Fred Ward & Co Sheffield England made knives from 1856-1883. I picked it up for what I think was a pretty good price of $175 but I wished it had a sheath. Any comments or information is always appreciated.
Thank you,
Richard

Great looking true vintage knife and in excellent condition, looks very little used. It looks to be a good size too, about 12" ?
I do not collect fixed blades but i think anyone who does would be quite excited to have found this beautiful knife.

bladeguy, that one is sweet. It's age, handle and design are appealing. Congrats and thanks for showing.

KJ,
I'm not really not much if a Fixed Blade collector but the when I saw this beauty and the shape it was in I couldn't pass it up and I've always wanted to have a nice old Bowie in my collection. Thanks for the comments!

It is probably a "Long Hunter" pattern rather than a Bowie. Long Hunters first came out in Britain about 1880's-1890's i believe. The idea was to give hunters a knife similar to a Bowie but a little smaller because a Bowie size knife is big enough to be a bit awkward for field dressing, etc.
Hopefully a fixed blade collector will see this and correct if necessary.

Thanks for the education KJ and it does make sense because Bowie's were a little larger.

I think this is the first flea market I've been out to all year. It was a interesting day, a lot of old knife patterns, but most were used up junk. Still, I couldn't pass up a few for future use. I did score this great Union machinist chest, including some decent stuff still in it...


I also found a bunch of knives of various condition. These were nice old knives, but with something wrong on all of them (broke blades, pieces of covers missing, etc.) There were a bunch of others like that, but I needed to keep my focus, LOL.

Then I started to find some decent ones...

This Stainless is almost mint A nice old Kinfolks I like this little Rodgers
All in all, a solid day at the flea market!

Oh yeah, I don't want Ann's head to explode, but we found another pair of Richards scissors at the house.
