Re: Camillus Boy Scout knives

I have this very nice old example of a Camillus Boy Scout style knife - Tang Stamp indicates late 1930's early 1940's : pre Dating the Official Boy Sout Knife launched in 1947. I would like to make a belt pouch for it and keep it as authentic looking as possible. However it seems from my reading the...

Re: Stockman Knives

Stockman Pattern Years ago I just collected any knife that caught my eye. Then to put some focus on things I settled on the good old Stockman Pattern I have had (literally) a couple of hundred of them. I've sold off a few lately and more to go but of the ones to keep, it made me think.... "wha...

Re: SHOW US YOUR PUMA KNIVES/TOOLS

Treefarmer These Stockmans are 3 3/4" and you are right about the Red it really "Pops".
That 260 is Classic Puma and like the Buck 110 has been copied by everyone, we used to see them regularly in Australia in the 80's (?) but not so much these days. Great find for just $5

Re: CASE BROTHERS....NOT!!!

Enlighten me please someone ? I can't see any profit in forging a knife that would probably sell for less than $100 (Guess) Someone had to either source an old genuine stamp or have one made which wouldn't be cheap. Then find a donor knife & blank blades add a 'Case' shield then put the whole th...

Kershaw 4150 Early Production

Guys I have a 4150 in a presentation box that was given to me as a leaving gift when I left a job in 1974 Which makes it a very early (first year) production knife. I'm very certain of the year (1974) becasue I'd moved from New Zealand to Australia in July 1973, got a job, worked for a year then lef...

Re: #3L in Antique Bone - any insight ?

Thanks Very Much Josh - great info

Edit, I checked in with the original owner who tells me it was bought new from TSA in 2013.
It could have sat on a shelf at Queen or TSA for years of course but it's an indication at least.
