JUST KNIVES

[Gone2Three]

Do you know what these are going for? You might be suprised...

The older style ones like yours especially. They look much nicer than the new model to me.

Yeah JC, you better hang on to that one!!!

.... that's for sure :xzqxz:

I got the pictures of my friends husbands' collection today. :gah: 75 in all. What a set. From military K-Bars to a bunch of Case and Bucks, down to novelty knives.

There are about a half dozen that I'm really interested in. We're going to get together next week so I can drool on them in person.

Well Bill, it's nice that you have a chance of owning some of your friends treasured belongings. Keep us posted

Awww Alan...you're such a great guy ThumbUp

Alan... really.... not necessary unless the knife’s key chain is attached to the Ark or a treasure chest of gold from Oak Island...

BTW - my bike is commonly called titanium not silver... so don’t bring the paint unless...

Y181P - Challenger Brown Metallic ... this is the official Honda paint name and code for my bike.

Hey guys, was hoping y'all can help me in identifying what this image is stamped on the bolster of one of my in-laws knives.

Edit....

I figured it out, lol it's this emblem (duh)

:laugh:



I'd brought it home to clean and oil, thought it was a scuff on the bolster...turned out to be this. Pretty sure he's not noticed it seeing that I had to zoom in on it to see what it was

Now that's a dandy collection of Buck knives.

 

[ol' school]

Randall, that is a very nice collection! Love the etchings of the horses! ThumbUp

 

[Philip R]

A few of my pieces. There are a couple of hand made knives. The first has oosik (walrus penile bone) in the handle.

 

[ol' school]

Phillip, nice collection of knives.

 

[Gone2Three]

Very nice Phillip,

I'll bet there's a very unhappy walrus out there :AGGHH:

You've got to tell us a little more about them hand made ones ThumbUp

 

[Philip R]

The oosik handled lock blade was made by a guy here in East Texas. My first wife got it for me as an anniversary gift. Lost the wife; kept the knife; life is good! The little wooden handle hunter was built by a guy in Colorado. A saleslady went there on vacation & brought it back. It's made out of a saw blade. It's not an expensive piece but looks old school.

I've got a double lock blade Buck with the lock releases in the center of knife. Blades open on each end. I must have it hide pretty well. I'll have to go thru the gun safe to locate it. I got a bunch of cheaper off brands that was given to me for Christmas & such. People think they are the perfect present for men, could be right!

Sharpening a new knife

What do you guys use to put a good edge on a new knife so you can then put a really sharp on with a fine stone? I got one the other day that you could ride to China on and new get cut. It isn't even close to having an edge on it. It almost looks like I need to use a grinding wheel to get close but surely that can't be. So what do you use to get an edge that be honed in?

Anything Chinese has a 20 degree edge. American is 14-18 degrees.

I use a electric two stage sharpener on stainless steel , as it doesn’t hold a edge. Plus any SS blade knife is cheep. Carbon steel , use a good hand water stone , and work it. Takes time but well worth it .

Crap, I was hoping y'all had a magic machine that just whipped a nice edge ready for a stone to bring in that final little bit of edge. Crud

Oh I forgot , for that razor sharp edge , finalize with a few swipes on a smooth leather strap.

You will get that barber sharp edge

I'd like to add this to my stash, but it's kinda pricey being a collector knife. Case Texas Longhorn.

Nice double locker :clapping:

Nice double locker :clapping:

I found a couple for sale on the net. I haven't shopped at any gun & knife show in the area.

 

[Gone2Three]

That is sweet!... yeah, them case knifes can get on up there especially for the older ones. What year is this one Philip?

 

[Gone2Three]

Speaking of the net, I really need to stay off of Ebay :cxtv:

 

[Philip R]

1980 or so. I heard that about Ebay!

 

[BillR]

My friend emailed me yesterday saying she found three more display cases of knives from her late husbands collection.

I'm going over next week to see them in person. Here is one case, The three beige ones in the upper left corner reminded me of Randalls 700 series Bucks. It turns out that they are Camillus 100th Anniversary limited editions.

 

[Gone2Three]

Here's my latest, so when I picked up the Bucks there was this one in the case that caught my eye. It looked unused but I wasn't familiar with the brand. Had the script writing so I figured it was a Buck knock off... He was asking $50 so no thanks...

Went back today and offered the guy $30 ...and it came home with me.

On a side note I've got a couple more vintage knives coming in from the evil Ebay sight.

That's it...no more ...I've got plenty of pretty knives now :cxtv:
