JUST KNIVES

[Gone2Three]

Nice find. I was going to the local flea market yesterday and look for treasures, lots of rain so no treasure hunting.

Well Jim, did you ever make it to the flea market?

 

[Gone2Three]

Picked up this old folding hunter for a steal... original owner had stored it away for many years. Used and sharpened but very well cared for considering the age of the knife.

Tang stamp chart dates this one from 1930-40

Will only do a light cleaning and oiling, hopefully maintaining the natural patina of the knife

Nice find Randall!

Well Jim, did you ever make it to the flea market?

Next weekend. I have been cleaning and sharpening a few of the knives.

 

[Gone2Three]

While the smoker was doing its thing I dived into some knife therapy

KA-BAR folding hunter, cleaned up and oiled, no polishing whatsoever

... it's not a show piece but a honest old survivor

Have a 30+ year Ka-Bar hunter fix blade . Called K-Bar for a Left handed sheath . Came to the conclusion even with all the liberal horse shit , that we are still mutants :Shrug: .

Frankie, there still some people that make left handed sheaths. ETSY has a bunch, this one has an option for left or right handed ones. Might want to check out some other sellers on ETSY.

That's a nice Ka-bar Frank! Glad you were able to find a lefty's sheath ThumbUp

Funny that I actually married a "mutant " and never knew until now :laugh:

Michele is a lefty.... according to Frank's quote, a mutant

 

[BillR]

Well, hush my mouth and call me mutant.

I've been left handed my whole life (so far).

I can shoot either handed but prefer handguns left and long arms right.

And I overcame the dreaded right handed scissors.:gah:

I learned to play musical string instruments right handed because of all the great instruments I couldn't play if I could only play lefty.

Y'a know Carla... that would make the perfect every day carry for Big Tex :clapping:

I happened to be online the moment this knife was posted, it took me a minute to realize what I was looking at and hit the buy it now button in a panic and proceeded to check out.

Seller's picture:



The pictures posted weren't exactly the best, listed as a vintage hunting knife, $40 with free shipping and free returns

Yep, totally worth it!

Marbles Gladstone 8" blade, stag w/ stag pommel - 4 pin, 1/2 inch brass pommel nut, original sheath. Doing some research now but estimated 1919-40's before the change to three line stamping post war







Minimum use, and only needed some light cleaning to knock off the surface rust.

Wow... I'm blown away by this one !

 

[ol' school]

Wow Randall! Awesome find! Looks nice!

 

[desertclassic]

Randall, I am going to have to quit watching your posts, I will be broke from buying knives. Great find.

Randall, I believe yours is bigger than mine. See post #240 in this thread for my pre-war Marbles.

That was a good catch.

Thanks Bill, yes I'm very lucky to have acquired this one especially due to the price these bring and of the uncommon size

I went back to your old post and then re-read some of our others ... it's like rediscovering them all over again I'm was blown away by the condition and how nice yours is... it even has the old tube sheath :clapping:

 

[Gone2Three]

Happy Halloween!

 

[BillR]

That's a cool one, Randall.

I bet that didn't take much cleaning up. :laugh::clapping: Artsy pic, too.

What are the circular cutouts in the blade for? never seen one like that.

Thanks Bill, Iol... yes every now and then I get a shiny new one :laugh:

This one came from a member of the knife fourm who happens to live here in Pflugerville

2014 edition, new in tin, was still sealed from factory for 45 bucks

These are fairly collectable (as any Case knife is and is) this is one of several Halloween edition knives released yearly for the holiday

The blade's circular cut outs and teeth are decorative, but could also make for great pumpkin carving

Hey, so I'm hoping that maybe you all can help me out here...

Looking for a original Camillus brand sheath with sharpening stone for the 6" pilot's (survival) knife

The 6" was only produced for a couple of years before the military spec was changed to the more common 5" blade

Looked locally here, Ebay and through my knife forum's but no luck as of yet

Figured some of my friends here can aid in my search locally or such, if you come across one PM me or reply to this post

Keeping fingers crossed, I have the knife, just hope to find a sheath that's not too far gone...

Pictures below of what I'm looking for:



Thanks!

I plan on going to a show in 2 weeks, I will keep an eye out.

Appreciate that Jim, hopefully someone will have one ...:good:

I've found a quite few for the 5" blade available, but it's been harder than I thought to find a 6" sheath for this old Camillus knife

 

[desertclassic]

Randall, I will check it out.
