I was moseying around the flea markets this weekend and picked up a few deals. 15 knives in all.

One of the nicest was a Hoffritz stag half whittler. 4 mint Schrade Old timers, they will fill holes in my collection until i decide they need new handles and file work. The daddy barlow is a 1976 case (iirc), the sails knife is a very old slater bros., the fixed blade is a western that needs a revamp-it's covered in rust, The circle remington turned out to be a factory special. The screwdriver and punch both lock. You can see theentire discussion here.

A few used old timers to have some fun with ect. Was a fun day. Now, I need to sell something to make up for that ebay purchase last night ::paranoid:: .

Make that 2 MM, you just don't find knives in a flea market in California. It's hard enough to just find a flea market :evil: ::shrug::
