Hey Gents!
Recently found AAPK while researching an old collection (mostly 70s). I have to admit the buy was made blind and a gamble at best. All the great info here leads me to believe that I got lucky and I thought it was appropriate to offer up a sincere Thank You!

Here's pics of some of them, I'll try to post a few more this week. There's also several fixed blade models including some really nice handmades from the previous owner. Also my first time posting pics in a forum, we'll see how it goes!

Thanks again fellas', I appreciate it. I'll try to post a few more tonight. The details I have are pretty vague, although I'm sure many of you guys recognize them by a quick glance. If you see anything special, please let me know.

Anyone recognize these? I think the far right is a "Bolo" but I have no idea about the other two.

from Tn and AAPK. Glad your here.

Thanks for sharing the pics. Great looking knives!!!!

Thanks again for the warm welcome fellas.

Hey gmusic, I have to admit I am below novice level at this point. Heck, until a few weeks ago I couldn't keep up with my everyday carry folder. Funny though, now I find myself being so careful with these that my wife looks at me like I'm crazy.
I really like the Sidewinder & Lockhorn, but the Schrade Walden Display really gets some attention in my shop.

Welcome Lucky. Thanks for shedding some light on what went in that little Kissing Crane leather pouch that I found in a junk store a couple months back! Couldn't pass it up for a buck! Thanks!

The bolo is a model 1917 bolo. I believe the one in the middle might be a Zouave bayonet. If it is it dates from the Civil War. The top one I have no idea. Are there any markings on the one in the middle?

Alright! Does that count as my first contribution (I know its a small one but let me have my moment

)? Glad I could help Caddy!

Hey Searcher, thanks for the info. The one in the middle has these markings...

2999 - on the right side top of the handle
F.W. - on the rear/butt of the handle

The combination of terrible lighting and some of that fancy rust

makes it hard to tell if there is anything on the blade, I'll take a closer look tomorrow in the shop.

Thanks again All
