Restore is a great place.You NEVER know what you will find. Bought this drop forged steel C-clamp the same day for $2.50 (USA).

I have about 8 of them in different sizes in my tool piles...

That's a 5". I meant to include that in the original post. It's going to replace the "imported" one I got to spread brake calipers that I think are made of lead. They twist when you put too much pressure on them.

2.50 for a USA made C clamp... heck yeah! :clapping:

On a side note, most of the Tony Bose collaboration knives I was looking at were high dollar, very nice, but expensive.

I wound up ordering the 2020 SHOT show exclusive with his signature and COA from Smokey Mountain Knife works the day of and now it's out of stock. It just shipped now, so I'm glad I got it when I did.

Glad you picked up one as well :clapping:

 

[BillR]

Well, I didn't get the signature or COA, but I like the knife. It's a Tribal Lock. Y'all know I'm a fan of lock backs.

Speaking of lock backs. Here's one I got in the big buy but never posted. It's a Sears Craftsman, made in Japan. Stainless steel blade. The previous owner added the thumb assist opener.

That's a nice one Bill, the bone on it is sweet! Gotta say, the old Craftsman is pretty classy looking as well ThumbUp

My Tony Bose is still in the shipping box, can't open until Christmas

Got another fox knife too, same thing... no peaking until then :christmas-tree:

Lol...of course I know what they look like because I purchased them, but Michele wanted me to pick out my Santa gift from her

Pictures to come on the 25th !

Speaking of pictures, here's a recent Ebay rescue. Decent shape mechanically, rare stamping and great bargain at 20 bucks...just needed to clean up and oil

Before:





After:

 

[BillR]

Nice job on the clean up. You spend a lot of time on them. Is that from 1920-30?

Pegged that correctly, manufactured in Fremont, OH between 1920 and early 30's .

It wasn't too bad on this one, I've had worse condition ones lol...

Preserving a little history, that's what I hope to do

@Gone2Three

Never saw anything quite like this so have a question below...

It just looks like it would get in the way if it is a assist opener.

If I remember correctly it is indeed a thumb assist for one handed opening.

Bill might jump in here to confirm as it belonged to a good friend and bandmate of his

I hope this explains how it works. Not so great for me because I'm left handed.

So it does clear the end? Must be the photo then that makes it look like it would hit the end bolster or whatever the end caps are called. It must or they wouldn't sell any. Nifty idea.

 

[Gone2Three]

Here's what arrived in the mail, another rescue project from the bay... 12 bucks free shipping :clapping:

Started the cleanup process this afternoon, I'll put pictures up when it's done

 

[hogcowboy]

You got your work cut out on that puppy. Keep us posted on your restoration.

It was a labor of love... actually turned out decent considering.

Did some research on the tang stamp, Simmons Boss- book of Goins dates it back to 1910. Ebony scales, half stops, steel liners and brass pins.

Not sure what happened with the bend in the liner, but it shall remain as not to risk cracking the wood.

 

[BillR]

Wow. You did a number on that one. :clapping:

If those old guys could talk....

 

[ol' school]

That turned out pretty nice Randall!

 

[hogcowboy]

You done did good.ThumbUp Yeah, if they could only talk, would interesting knowing what it was being used for to get the bend in it.:Shrug:

 

[desertclassic]

Randall, nice job on the clean up.

 

[ol' school]

Thank you, It is 11" in length.

 

[BillR]

Everybody scored.

Allan, those are cool. I like the stubby one the best. :Shrug:

Randall, those look great. The Fox is interesting. Haven't seen one of those before.

Val, I like that fixed blade. Hope you never have to use it. :gah: Belated Happy Birthday.:clapping:

This was totally unexpected. A friend got me this , not even knowing that I collect knives. Randall, I think it is very similar to a set you have.

What a nice gift Bill, nope...don't own a set like that. Hard to tell from pictures but is it bone or stag?
