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

You've got a nice assortment of blade's Jim! :clapping:

I love this knife. I would never carry it though. It's greatest value is it's history. And I've lost just about every knife I've ever put in my pocket.:laugh:

Here's my treasure find from our day trip to Salado a few weekends past....







It was in a case with some vintage jewelry, couldn't believe my eyes when I opened it up and saw the tang stamp :xzqxz: what a great score!

New additions, Schrade

I saw one of those at our towns monthly trade days, flee market type thing to most. It wasn't in nearly as good a shape as this one. I didn't even ask how much he wanted. That's a nice one.ThumbUp ThumbUp ThumbUp

I paid 22.00 with shipping, I felt lucky with this purchase. I have to be careful or I will have a pickup bed full.

 

[Gone2Three]

I've started celebrating early yesterday by acquiring a few new additions to my collection :yahoo:

I have no ideal what your talking about .... :cxtv: :laugh:

 

[desertclassic]

The latest additions. This is the way I bought them, now time to polish them up. I just bid on a couple more. Sweetie hasn’t yelled yet. She has made sure that I have provided a knife to all the daughters, spouses and grandchildren that are old enough. I just bid on a case XX peanut, yellow handle for the Sweetie’s purse so she will quit taking my knife.

 

[BillR]

Jim, you've been bitten by the collecting bug, too. Been picking up some nice pieces.

You mentioned a knife for Sweetie. I got my wife an EDC knife early this year. It's a Gerber E-Z OUT Jr.

I've had an E-Z OUT since the late '90s. It has since been retired to a drawer in the motorhome. I saw the Jr. on line and got it for her. I didn't realize that it was that much smaller than the original. Only a 2" blade vs my 3", but still a handy tool to have. It only weighs 2 ounces.

The original one has been through a lot. I even lost it in the yard in the snow. Didn't find it until Spring. The serrations got so dull that I ground them down and resharpened it straight.

 

[desertclassic]

I like that baby knife, may have to get the Sweetie something like that.

 

[Gone2Three]

I know it's been a little while since I posted about some of my new additions.

Wanted to share something neat with y'all...

I've been looking at vintage boot knifes for some time now and recently followed a custom build of one on the knife fourm that I frequent. Dale is one of the administrators there and also a custom builder. So after he finished it he put up for sale. It was about 1am when he posted and well, as you all know us late nighters ... I saw it and snapped it up

I spent a little more than I wanted but considering what some of these old boot knifes go for I consider it a good deal, and a one off custom at that... He even made the sheath!

 

[BillR]

That's a purdy one, Randall. Don't cut yourself with the two blades.

I have a Turkish made cheapy one alone the same lines.

...well it's the wild west here, just show up to one of our "friendly " Capitol protests... bring your biggest gun or guns and knives if you want :Shrug:

Thanks Bill, lol, I'll try not to... they tend to "bite" mostly y'a when I'm cleaning them up :cxtv:

 

[Gone2Three]

Well, the day got away from me yesterday but as promised here is one of the rescue projects that I've finished recently.

The before pictures are from the seller, the hardest part was the letters carved into the shield. Nice old knife with half stops and great bone handles

Before :









After:







I'll try and get the other up later today

Lol, just noticed the flattened thumb nail...a hazzard of knife collecting :laugh:

 

[ol' school]

Nice clean up Randall! Looks good!

 

[Gone2Three]

Thanks Doug!

Here's the 2nd one...before:



After:





Not quite as nice as the previous one, but it's not common to see many of these real old Imperial bone knives of this size around...this was definitely a user, and shows it! Minor pitting on the blades, I did a light cleaning but mostly left as found. The notching on the bone was interesting, I've noticed a few other old bone knives from past browsing that have a similar cut in them, but not 4 notches like on this one :Shrug:

 

[Gone2Three]

As I wrap up my mini vacation here I wanted to share a few more pictures of some of my pick ups from Ebay.

Found this Old Timer hunting knife for 15 bucks, the condition was decent but needed cleaning and oiling to bring it back to life. Guessing that its early 80's ?

Before:





After:





Made an offer for this old German made Lenox penknife with ebony scales and got it for $10, a little tlc and some oil is all it needed. After researching the history on this little guy, found out it's at least a 100 years old...they produced knives between 1909 and 1914 ... rare find :clapping:





Lastly the bag of knives score from my father in law, by far the Kershaw speedsafe and the old Schrade+ LB5 was the best of them. The two Gerber knives are china made, and it shows... but for a free knife I'm not going to pass it up

Randall, you are probably on the right track with the date of your Old Timer. Pic is of my Schrade Uncle Henry 124UH from 1985 when Schrade was still U.S.A. made. They only made this knife from 1985 - 1988.



Update: Looked it up... the Schrade Old Timer 25OT was made from 1964 - 1983...

That's a nice UH y'a got there Doug ThumbUp

I'd had heck trying to get correct information for that knife, where did you find the date range on the 250T?

Now you got me thinking. I think I have a smaller version of this puppy somewhere. Going to have to go on yet another search party. Dang!!!

You do darn good restores though.

Randall, I got the info from the following page...

Randall, good job on your Old Timer.

Doug ,that's a cool UH.

Good to find the American made ones. So many brands are made "off shore" now, if you know what I mean.

While we are on folding hunters, here is my Case 6265-SAB from 1972. Never sharpened. I had a hard time getting a good picture today. The best I could do. That's not a nick in the blade, just a light reflection.

Nice Case hunter, Bill! And thanks that Uncle Henry is one of my favorites!

 

[desertclassic]

Randall and Bill, looks like the 2 of you are still after the knives. I had a couple of things in the works, but my diesel truck took a little sick. Dropped 1000.00 and thought it was up and going, but the check engine light came back on, well back in the shop and the real problem showed up, 5,600.00, for the part and 1200.00 for the labor, well no knifes until the truck is back in operating order. Extended warranty does not cover emissions issues.
