Very Nice, ours hardly get any that good.
Awesome finds. Some very fine fixed blades there!!zoogirl wrote: ↑Sun Nov 15, 2020 10:04 pm Here a look at some of the randoms from the last few months. The tiny fixed is a Rogers and the Walden was bought from Charlie C. The dagger is just a $9 Bianca’s Liquidation special. Glorified letter opener, but kinda cool.AB526518-1E3B-4048-9132-F33F8A088645.jpegC76995E6-53BE-4EBE-A9CB-B5A7AB4EA533.jpegF3CF0D46-37BA-4CF1-BF27-EE04BAB21117.jpegF1B03584-0F61-44AB-81CC-A215623E119F.jpeg
That Wostenholm Canoe is gorgeous!dlr110 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 15, 2020 3:24 am Pawn Shop Pickups
I went to see my daughter and grandkids today and on the way back stopped at
one of my favorite pawn shops and picked up these two.
A I*XL Schrade Wostenholm Canoe made in Sheffield, year 1980
A United Cutlery Sod Buster made in Italy? Cheap, as a matter of fact the shop
guy gave me the Sod Buster just for buying the Canoe.

That's a good looking SB Cody, can see it would make a great cardboard box chopper. I think with the serrations, would work better then a plain blade, especially on the thick stuff.cody6268 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 16, 2020 1:09 amThat Wostenholm Canoe is gorgeous!dlr110 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 15, 2020 3:24 am Pawn Shop Pickups

Those "Sodbusters" are confusing. I have a Kissing Crane Coal Miner, made in Germany. Later, they outsourced the things to Italy (which I own no example of). I have an Antonini-made version, also Italy, and it's got a clip point serrated blade. All of those knives are the same dimensions and have identical handles. In fact, that shade of blue on yours is identical to my Antonini:

I have a theory that Antonini made most, if not all of them. I think they were made in Germany, KC sold the tooling to Antonini; then when KC got bought out several years ago, they were contracted to make the pattern for SMKW or whoever owns KC now.
On mine, I had to sharpen the PE poriton, but the SE portion is sharp and very aggressive.WillyCamaro wrote: ↑Mon Nov 16, 2020 1:19 amThat's a good looking SB Cody, can see it would make a great cardboard box chopper.

SCORE!! Awesome finds at that price! Congratts!Byrd wrote: ↑Fri Nov 20, 2020 8:22 pm I haven't bought anything for a LONG time! Today I hit some garage sales and found a warehouse in which the owner had packed with estate sale leftovers he had purchased. There it was...a box of knives with a tag for $3 each! Pictured are what I got.
Camillus Fisherman's Luck
George Wostenholm brass handles marked TYNE
Utica Scout
Buck 303
Ulster USA
He threw in the Buck 500 sheath.
Boy Howdy! What a day! They all need cleaning, but are in good shape.
