All About Pocket Knives

I just so happened to stumble across an estate sale that was wrapping and this is what I picked up for $5. I cleaned it up but it only took me a couple minutes because it is in good shape. There are no cracks in the bone, the blades haven’t been whittled excessively and every blade has awesome snap. Plus I picked up a bunch of old tools and things for free.

$5 well spent

You did good!!! Real good!! Congratts!!

Fortunate you!

It doesn’t happen often picking things that cheap. Now I’m wondering what else there was that I missed from the previous days. Oh well I’ll never know. But I do know opening day the knife probably wouldn’t have been that cheap.

Very attractive knife. Nice find.

That's called being in the right place at the right time.

It is scary to think of how close it came to be thrown away.
Great save, and congratulations on getting a good deal!

I know it’s crazy to think right now that knife could be in a landfill. The knife would have survived from the 30s / 40s just to be thrown away. There was a lot of stuff getting thrown away too. Nothing of use to me or anyone I know.

Wow!! A hard to find Camillus pattern, especially in the older 4 line stamp.

That is an exceptional find!!!

Great find, and lucky too. That's a pretty old knife, but also one pretty, old knife.

I'm not sure what happened but losing any knife for whatever reason sucks especially a Case. Hopefully it can be found.

I’ll keep you in mind if I decide to get rid of it but just a heads up it may be awhile.
