JUST KNIVES

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:

My late husband often said that, by the time his birthday, our anniversary or Christmas rolled around he would snap out of it.

THE collection!

I went over today to check out my friends husbands knife collection. It was NOT a wasted trip.

These were the ones I didn't buy. I came home with 11 including the Camillus 100th Anniversary ones and the Buck 500 with the stag handle. I'll post them when I get some good pix.

That looks like a very expensive collection.

That looks like a very expensive collection.

My guess is probably $6-7 thousand if she can get true value for them. Her husband had a log book of purchase dates and $ amounts, starting back in 1982. She is moving and is thinking of having an Estate Sale company take the whole lot. I'm glad I had a chance to pick through them first. I have $12 left in my checking account until April. (not our budget acct.)

Wow! ... :xzqxz:

Nice that you had a chance to pick up a few of them Bill. Has she thought about listing them? Or is it too much of a hassle :Shrug:

I asked her about Ebay, but it is too intense and time consuming for her. She had a hard time sending me the pictures via email. She doesn't know knives. I helped her identify on the list, the ones I got.

Knives I got today

Here are the knives I got from the collection. 2 Bucks, 2 Case, 4 Camillus, 1 Browning, 1 Marble's and an Italian stiletto. She was going to give me the display case, but I gave her an extra $25 for it.



In honor of St. Patrick's Day, here is a closeup of the Case green bone.

Nice haul, Bill!

And that green bone handle Case is beautiful!

 

[hogcowboy]

I tried to carry a Kershaw knife similar to that one and the second day, somehow, it came open on me. I was working picking up all kinds of stuff and I'm sure something brushed up against it, but in my pocket I had no idea it would take such little effort to get it to open. When I wanted it open out of my pocket I had trouble fumbling around to get it in the correct position to flick the lever. So I was totally surprised when I felt something pointy partially out of my jeans pocket. So no more knives like that for carry for me without a sheath.

You did good Bill... some very nice pieces you've added to your collection! ThumbUp

Here's my Pop's old Schrade + LB8 "Papa Bear" before and after cleaning. I now have something he owned to put in my collection.

Looks good Randall.

 

[BillR]

Randall, that's a special piece for sure. Any idea how old it is? It took years for it to turn green from contact with the sheath.

 

[ol' school]

Nice Randall! A special one for sure!!!

 

[Philip R]

A good one. Congrats on the find.

 

[1dn5up]

Always nice to have some trinket from our parents :clapping:I would use it as my every dayer, and every time it was used a smile would appear.

Like going to the ice cream store.

 

[Gone2Three]

Thanks guys, this one is special indeed! Something from him that he used while I was in my younger days ...

Sent him the pictures and he was surprised on how good it looked.

Said he brought early 80's not exactly sure..from Crites lock smith on main st. San Antonio Texas for around 32 dollars

He pulled it out of his old tool bag, last time it was carried was before he retired

I can't afford THAT much ice cream. :clapping:

Gun manufacturers are the same... don't make as many southpaw rifles and charge more for them.

Look at Spyderco. MOST of their EDC knives have 4 way pocket clips; left, right, tip up, tip down. I carry mine in my left front pocket with the tip up. These are lock backs.

I haven't found a liner lock in left hand yet.

 

[LadyonaMission]

You can give it to me, I am not into looking or feeling "manly".

 

[ol' school]

Nice knife Alan!

 

[desertclassic]

I have to stop coming to the Knife thread, lol. I have a few that I will have to dig up, almost all in storage since we moved into the RV.

Keep on sharpening and counting the fingers.

You guys got some nice knives. I decided to look for my old hunting knife I carried just in case I got a deer. Back then a knife was just a knife. Took me for ever to get an edge on this puppy. Could almost shave with it at one time which lasted about two seconds. Don't if it's worth 2¢ in todays world but it worked for me back in the mid 60's. It was used when I got it. Probably some Sears thing but maybe y'all know more about this old dude. I ain't a good picture taker as you can see.

I think it says RH then inside an oval PAL then far right -36 and under Made In USA. Not sure if 36 or 38 though as it's difficult to tell.

 

[paws]

Larry - don't know about $$ value. But it was made in the U.S.A. - that says something for it.
