All About Pocket Knives

Good pick up Reverand and a good price.

Picked up this Honk Falls cattleman at the Gator Knife show today.

And it is in really good shape knifegnome, congrats.

Great knife finds, love that H. F., Case stag Hunter and the Colonial (looks like excellent condition). Very interesting fork, Reverand.

real nice,i like the punch blade, what are the ,handle's ebony wood ?

I didn't need this Catt. because I already have a couple, but this one is pretty nice yet and was only $25. I'll use it for a while at work and then retire it to the safe. ____Dave

knifegnome, a Honk Falls knife would be a find for me, I've only seen pictures and read about them here on the forum. I'd say they would be a rare bird in this part of Florida. Great find!
Dave, Cattaraugus is another brand that is not very common to our neck of the woods. That hook bill does look like it needs to be in the safe.

Great find and great price as well Dave!!!!

No need to go to Sadies treefarmer, I got all the good stuff. Man there's a lot of crap in that place. I got took to the cleaners, thirty bucks for this junk.

bighomer, Given that I don't often buy older used knives, still I'm impressed with your three. Far from junk imho tho I grant I lack expertiese.

Knice hauls fellas!

Forgot to take a group pic of my finds from yesterday morning but here they are individuaslly.

Scott, what's the closed length on that Trapper?

Text the answer to me.

I found these two at the Ripley flea market yesterday.
Worn and rusty, but for $10 each I couldn't pass them up.
1979 large stockman with main blade a little sluggish.
And a (1975) 6488 Congress with all blades tight and snappy.

Nice score Lan...
John

Not bad at all Lan.

Lan I'd laid down twenty for those two in a heartbeat, congrats, don't you know if they could just talk the tales they could tell.

Between 2 flea markets...

Good haul, Scott.
Here are some of my knives from this weekend's show. Starting at the top left and moving down: Barnett Tool Knife, Cattaraugus Wrench Knife (Rare), Shapleigh Castration knife or Tool, Prostitute Scissors by Mann & Federlein. From the top on right side: Cattaraugus Wrench Knife, H. Boker Tool Knife and Prostitute Scissors by Herberz.
I seldom use the 'rare' word in my descriptions but I believe this one is really rare. Another note is that the Shapleigh Castration knife has been the subject of some discussion here previously. I did get a copy of a catalogue page showing this pattern. I'll post it when I can locate it.

Y'all are bringing home some real beauties!

Wow, nice haul, Ray! All of them look great; but, two Cat wrench knives in one weekend is amazing!!!

Gentlemen you've done good today and I'm envious of your finds. I need to get back on the road again and I have that planned the first week of March. I'll be driving to St. Louis and stopping at every flea market, antique store and junk shop all the way up. I hope to be going back by Sheppard Hills again in Branson or Lebanon, or maybe both. Until then I will simply have to enjoy your great finds, keep it up guys!
