JUST KNIVES

[Gone2Three]

Nice Randall... I like it!!!

It’s definitely has high mileage ..... Nice bone

I agree with Frank. Good looking bone.

Thanks you guys, didn't pay much for it after all so I was pleased with it. Looking at it as a rescue effort :laugh:

 

[Gone2Three]

You guys.... If I had known these old knives would be collectibles one day I would have snatched up every one I saw at my grandfather’s old farm, my daddy’s house, the old mechanic’s shop, the airplane hangar, the old hardware store displays.... they were scattered all about - in drawers, tackleboxes, toolboxes, backside of old workbenches...gheesh.... had no clue. So many of these old knives look so familiar from those places and times...

Yeah Carla, there's many a time that I've wished for a time machine to travel back into the past to do just that. Who knows what these old knives will be worth in the next 20+ years from now

 

[Gone2Three]

Dang Fuzzy, that's a nice one :clapping:

Kind of reminds me of my old fixed blade boot knife from back in a day

 

[Gone2Three]

While I may not have a collectable knife, I do have one that would make someone :Crap: them self. Frost Cutlery makes it and Walmart sells it.

Wholly ---- !

Lol, Val now that's a Knife! :dwarf:

 

[Gone2Three]

They don't have to be collectable. Anything sharp & pointy is good here.

That thing is BAAAD. :clapping:

Don't let Kaden see that, or Randall will have to GET it for his birthday.

Yep, that's exactly the kind of knife he likes... Walmart you say (Thinking) :laugh: might have to take a gander

I'm not a knife person per say....I have a few laying around 'I just recently bought a Gerber Strong-arm Fix Blade [Made in the USA] just to carry in the woods...

But i have one that I'm really fond of....

And it comes with a story...

Back in 1956 i save my nickels and dimes ....And that took quite a while to save enough, I can't remember what it cost but i'm thinking it was a lot , I ordered it from the Shooters Bible....And it like every thing orders back then took 6 or 8 weeks to get it..

Its a fixed blade 7 inch with bone handle , Made in Stoeger Germany ....

Model Stoeger Zephyr.....I carried it till 1965....Put it away for years, And 3 years age i was rummaging through the back of my gun safe next to my fathers old fishing/hunting knifes, And a ratter large switchblade knife?? i'm thinking he carried it just in case cause he would go fishing off of bridges at 3 am in Brooklyn/Queens alone...

But i digress , When i found it i showed it to my Grandson...And i said if you take care of it 'Its yours....And carries it in the woods like i did...That knife is 63 years old...And he did have to hand make a new leather sheath for it the original one was worn out.....

Nice Lola! :clapping: which one are you taking on your trip?

More Rescue knives...

Just spent the last few hours cleaning up and oiling. The most expensive was the old Schrade whittler at $21, the Camillus 4 liner tang stamp- 3 blade w/file was a steal at $12, a Prov Cut Co -2 blade $6, Camillus made- Imperial Boy Scout camp knife $14, and a Camillus short line tang camp knife for $10



Have a Cub Scout camp on the way along with 3 old Western knives. One of which is pretty rough, but I'm enjoying the challenge of cleaning them up if needed.

Case mini trapper, autumn. I picked up this knife at the case outlet store in 2003. There must of been 5 thousand knifes in the store and this one caught my eye.

The picture was included in an e-mail from my local dealer trying to get me to bite.

Case vs Remington

I have dabbled with knives since the 90's went to a lot of knife shows met some really good people and collectors. That being said if you where a early collector the ones that brought the most money for price paid are the Remington Bullet knives or Marbles knives out of Gladstone Mich. I sold most of my older knives that were worth anything. Still have some and a assortment of pocket knives from 90's up a few fixed blade case knives. Started collecting Case Copperlocks I think they started making them in 1997 I have over 70 of those, thought I could collect all of them but case keep flooding the market with them I finally gave up. I have some newer Remingtons some other case knive few old one 5 or 6 switch blades I will try and take some pics. Moved about 5 years ago still have most of them put away can't seemed to get time or energy enough to dig them out

I will get busy and try and post some of them.

View attachment 89143 Here is a few of my copperlocks. having trouble downloading I will keep trying.

 

[BillR]

Wow, you say that's a few of your copperlocks. That's a nice display "case", too. :clapping:

The only one I have is the mini in post #361.

Sounds like the picture is too big. See what size the one that worked is, then make sure the others are no bigger.

Hope it works, I'd like to see them.

 

[sprinkman]

Finally got another one now if i can remember how.

 

[BillR]

You're on a roll, now. Pretty stuff. Keep 'em coming.
