JUST KNIVES

[Gone2Three]

Nice, what did you buff that knife with. I have a few that need serious cleaning. You have a nice little collection going on there.

Hey Jim! ... thanks, this one wasn't too bad.

Most of the cheap finds are one's that are neglected or loved so much they are worn out.

I just used a little wd40 applied lightly to loosen up the debris. Blow out with compressed air and then work with Case paste, mineral oil and tuf glide. Buffing is done by hand with microfiber cloth.

Sometimes it calls for wet dry fine sand paper or extra fine steel wool for severe rust removal. Afterwards the Tuf Glide will seal and provide protection.

Seeing that I really don't pay too much for them it's more of a therapy thing. I'm still experimenting with each new one I get, so trying out ways to keep the patina without sacrificing the look of the knife. If it's old it shouldn't look all brand new

Hope everyone likes this knife you will probably never see another, I have only seen one other and that was in Jim Sargent's Knives & Razors Identification and Values book. I have taken this years ago to big knife shows and let the big collector's chase me around back then I sold a lot of my good ones that I would love to have back. I think this is a nicer knife than the one in the book it was never for sale. An old friend willed it to me.

View attachment 89252Ok all older Case fixed blades 3 Case tested XX 1920 to 1940 era, 1 Jean Case and 1 just marked Case.

well I am all done. Glad I you guys encouraged me to post them wipe them all down and put away.

View attachment 89253Don't know much about it can't even remember what the knife experts said the year it was made. Never ever ask my old friend were he got it. The picture above came out of Jim Sargent's 3rd edition Knives & Razors Book. that was copyrighted 1992. They also made a 3 bladed Case Hobo Knife little different blade locking on it. value in 1992 was $2500.00 not sure what value today. I always said the book doesn't have any money you put down what you want too. To sell it someone has to want it. I hope everyone enjoys seeing it it is a rare knife.

Holy grails Batman! .... wow! :xzqxz:

Gene I'm blown away by the many beautiful knife's and displays you have.

Lol...I can only imagine the high $ one's you said that was sold off prior :AGGHH:

Man, that interchangeable Case I saw before on Ebay...not complete like yours and in terrible shape. I did some digging when it was posted back in May because the bidding went crazy on it, and I was wondering why.

Like you said, very rare indeed, its probably one if not "the holy grail" of Case's knifes. What I believe you have from my research here is called a 5012 Comb and did not appear in Case inventory until 1-27, the next earliest point that it shows up is in the 1-30 Case price list but never shows up again afterwards. So its believed that the knife was only made at the Kinfolks factory from 1926 or 1927 and 1930. It's believed the HOBO is dated later than the 5012 Combo.

So hang onto that one,especially since it has sentimental value!

And I'm sure you already know that those fixed blade Case knifes are extremely valuable...

Can't tell, but most of yours look to be dated from past1932.

Case began making all their hunting knives in Bradford at the Case factory starting then, and these knives will have the nickel silver guards. Case hunters with Case Tested XX and Bradford markings that were made by Kinfolks have the aluminum guards. Are any of yours aluminum?

Needless to say, you have some awesome knives buddy.

Really need more time to comb through the pictures. But you definitely have some gorgeous pieces!

Thank you for sharing your pictures

Just got confirmation that these two knives have shipped.

It's my first venture into fixed blade territory... Bill has shared a few with me, and he's got some nice ones! , so I'm not a hunter but the camillus Indian stag will fit nicely with the folders I have like it.

The Schrade caught my eye, had unique markings and looks unused as well. The seller and I went back and forth on the price but I think for $130 shipped I did alright. A little bit more than I wanted to spend but he came down a lot on the schrade to make the deal.

Randall, they are both very nice knives!

Looks like you are well on your way to fixing your blade Alan.

I have a 1970s Buck, fixed blade,118 with leather case. Pics to follow.

This is my deceased father in law’s knife. Anvil, I have no idea of age. He had this knife when I first met him in 1970. He always carried 2 knifes and this one was always in his pocket. Second set of pictures just showed??? This knife was my long time friend Bob’s knife. His neighbor was a knife maker and he whipped this out for Bob. When Bob passed, Julia passed the knife to me.

A couple more pics of Bob’s knife. Elk horn handles, solid knife and the makers initials are stamped.

Hey Jim, I hadn't come across an Anvil knife before, it looks like a great EDC. That elk horn custom made knife is a beauty! Nice thing about both of them is the history of the knife... thanks for sharing them ThumbUp

Randall, thought you might like to see. The first 2 are of a Indian Artist who hand carved the images on an antler handle. Around 25 yrs. 2nd is a Posse Ride Lmt Edition from 20 yrs ago. Last pic is of some old ones of my Dad's . Bottom is from a safety award . The 1st on right in the top row is my own from around 50-60 yrs The batch to the left were all Dads. NO idea how old they were,but over 70yrs. Click to enlarge

 

[sprinkman]

Nice knives Jim I had a anvil once it was brand new never sharpened don't remember what happened to it. I have given so many knives away to nephews and friends one of them must have gotten it. Wish I was good enough to make a knife like the one your friend had and you have now really nice.

Lol...well that all depends on how much we're talking about here.

I'd be willing to learn a new move or two for the right price :laugh:

Thanks for sharing your pictures Bill, those are some really nice knives. That antler handle carving is a really unique piece!

Always nice to have some that were owned by your dad too :clapping:

I couldn't quite make out yours on the right but looks like maybe smooth bone handles, what brand is it?

 

[Gone2Three]

Wanted to share one of my latest findings. Difficult to pinpoint, but was told possibly a pre WWII Camillus cattleman knife (with some miles on it as Frank would say)

It was pretty rough when I got it, had a lot of rust and grime. Seller took $25 for it as a salvage for parts knife, but once cleaned up it doesn't look all that bad.

Something 'Colorful' as well as sharp. :clapping: I purchased it from an Ebay seller: https://www.ebay.com/itm/28-Ninja-S...sh=item469c194215:g:M0YAAOSwuLpdZY17&LH_BIN=1 The one I got from Walmart.com is in the bedroom and this one is on the computer next to me.

 

[BillR]

Val, that's BAADDD.

Probably the best you could do since your housing complex won't allow firearms.

But that means that the bad guys aren't allowed to have firearms either, RIGHT?

Only if you put up a Sign stating ; ''This Is A Gun Free Zone''......

If they did, this place would have problems. One of the tenants who visits her mom is going to get a concealed carry license and they cannot stop her from bring a firearm here since she's a visitor. I haven't seen any stores in town with a 'Gun Free Zone' sign but there are armed residents shopping in the local stores. I have one resident thinking about a paintball gun and freezing the paint balls, that's going to leave a mark in more than one way.:gun2:

That new machete is light compared to the one from Walmart, but just as deadly. I need to get two more one for the kitchen and the other for the clothes closet in the bathroom. While management doesn't want residents to have firearms, they didn't mention other types of weapons to defend yourself. On my computer table there's a can of wasp spray and a pair of scissors all within reach.

I don't know why the sign would be a problem, Out here they have drug free signs around all the Schools, And there's aren't any drug problems in the schools , Right...

My latest, came from a collection, price was nice.

A pic of what I have been able to locate. 2 storage units, 2 autos, and the RV provide lots of places to hide.
