All About Pocket Knives

Scott
looks like you have a Cat 225Q in the lower left of your picture. That's a keeper for sure, do anything you need.

Nice work Scott. What is the brand of the bone whittler and the black double end jack?____Dave

Thanks, thanks fellas.

The black double end jack is actually a Hen & Rooster Whittler, and the smooth bone whittler is a Schatt & Morgan!

I had a little good fortune this weekend at a local flea market. Below are pictures of the recent finds after I had time to do a bit of cleanup. I was really excited with the Bertrum Cutlery Hen & Rooster and Puma knives that had stag handles. The cost of Puma and Bertrum was a total of $10.00

Additional finds from the same vendor...again all were in his $5 per knife pile.....I bought several. The ones I have cleaned up are below. There are additional knives that are still to be cleaned up (a Bear & Son Cutlery Mini Trapper 4th Generation, a Queen Ky. Derby 100th Anniv. Peanut, a Queen Mini Trapper with wood handles (51T) will be posted after a little spit and polish is administered. Below are pictures of the one I have cleaned.

Nice hauls, y'all!

Those stacked leather handled hammers are really eye-catching.

1947, Would happen to know if your Bertram was made before 1980?

LB1947...Great finds at awesome prices!!!

Great finds LB1947 ! Especially the Hen & Rooster and Puma knives! What great prices! Congrats!!!

Quick Steel...as far as I can determine ( by checking Goins, A G Edwards YouTube video, Levine, etc.) when the tang is marked like this one, Bertrum Cutlery on one side and the Hen & Rooster Solingen Germany, it is a post 1980 (1980-1990). I would have preferred it to have been a pre-1980 , but for $5 I am happy to have found it along with the Puma (that I believe is a better built knife).

Cool piece of advertising Eustace.

Luckily for me.....my fav pawn shop was open!!

Wish our pawn shops around here had some jewels like that. Good ones Scott!!

Louisville...those are some GREAT looking knives, and you got some awesome deals on them. Congrats!

A few I picked up recently at estate sales.

A. Fields, Sheffield tweezers.
Prov. RI pen knife w/can opener

Nice looking Case Selector Set, TripleF. There probably aren't many of those around.

Great find. Made for Sears by Camillus, it's a very early one.

Jerry about what date range? I tried sending you a PM but I don't think I am doing it right.

I was minding my own business working and a neighbor of the cabin we are working on called and wanted to show me some knives he inherited and wanted to sell. I bought two, a Case XX 6165 SAB and a Remington R4593. ____Dave
