It's a Case Copperhead, pattern 6249W, with Caribbean Blue sawcut jig bone covers. I also ordered a few extras along with it.

Picked up this peasant knife from out own AAPK store owned by scagel. Very modestly priced but a very functional knife. Doubt I will carry it but wanted an example of one. Thanks for looking.

Nice! I picked up the larger version at my local knife store a couple of years ago, also mostly because it was cheap.

I like mine as it has plastic handles (I don't really like Opinels because you can only get carbon steel with the wood handle, which swells up in humid weather), but a carbon steel blade. I can fully strip it for cleaning, and only need to tighten two screws which are large slotted screws. Plenty tough as well with great carbon steel. Mine is a work knife. There's no backspring or blade lock, but if one tightens down the screws enough, it won't close.

Thanks for the input Cody.

Very unique knife Floyd and from New Zealand to boot.

Cool looking piece, never heard of the brand and never seen a New Zealand tang stamp. Congrats, rare bird to me anyway. Thanks for showing.

That's a nice pick-up. Looks like it would be a good carrier if you decide to do so.

Thanks to all for the kind words, and toomanyknives for the edit of my photo. I'll try taking a photo of the Copperhead with benefit of sunlight and/or the flash and see if its greenish tint shows more prominently.

The Camillus is a really good setup. But, since the Delrin handles are cracked, I've been thinking about replacing the spey blade with a punch to make it my perfect work knife if I do decide it needs work. But, it's fine as is. The Imperial Ireland Apex knives has a Stockman with a similar blade layout as I want (Turkish clip, serrated coping, punch) as well as a 34OT-size knife Schrade made for Purina. But, both are kinda uncommon. I can get the Irish Imperial for under $20 easily, but the Schrade Purina knives weren't made in high numbers.

I put the Mini Tufflite to work today doing some weed eating. Pretty darn strong little knife, that unlike other 3" closed knives, fits my hand as good as a 4" knife. And really lightweight. I'm picking up another pretty soon in either blue or red.

The Voyager is too aggressive (and big) for my tastes. I own some pretty aggressive-looking one-hand openers, but this one is kinda scary, even to me. That's the one problem I do have with tantos--they produce a far more aggressive-looking blade than any other pattern. It is only for jobs where I really need a fixed blade, but can't really carry one on my belt due to being around brush or equipment.

Schrade made Purina knives? I didn't know that. Wish I had one of them!

They made several! I did some searching, and was surprised at how many I hadn't seen before. Apparently, in the '90s Schrade and Purina had quite the partnership. But, they must not have been made in high numbers, as I only occasionally see them, as opposed to quite a few Kutmasters. Back in the '30s, they also made a pull-ball automatic with a Purina logo.

Irish Imperials were Schrades budget brand. I've been buying quite a few. They're decent knives for not much money.

Hoofpick knife with "Schrimshaw" of a Western scene. I think this is among the better-looking hoof pick knives Schrade made. Most had a Farnam ad. It's just the seller wants a stupid price. They're worth about $20 or less regardless of the logo, but the seller wants $40 and they seem to think it's much older than it really is. That's why I think they've been trying to sell it for more than two years.

All these photos come from here.

5OT with Purina shield, Purina embossed on sheath

I think I mentioned this one before, as this is my dream Stockman pattern. But, I mistakenly said it was on the 34OT frame. It's on the larger 885UH frame. It has a serrated coping blade, punch in place of spey. I have seen two for sale, but they both went past my bids. This one has had the shield flipped over, but is the same knife. Should say Purina on it. Muskrat Man here has the punch for this pattern for like $2, but I don't know if it will fit the the Crosman even though both the Schrade and the Camillus/Crosman are 4" Stockmans.

Well thanks for the Info & pictures Cody!
I appreciate the time & effort you put into so many of your posts!
For your young age, you sure know a great deal about knives. Much more than I know. That's for sure! If you continue collecting throughout your lifetime it will be amazing how much knife wisdom you will have when you are 50 or 60 years old. You could even write a knifer book somewhere along the way.
Of course, I recieve a free signed copy (If I'm still around.) since I planted the seed.

Cool find Floyd! Congrats Buddy!

Thanks David, Iman, Dan and Tom .

Picked this up at a flea market today. I was only going to look at it and not buy it but when I picked it up it was much heavier than it looked. That convinced me to buy it.

Not the kind of knife I collect but I thought it was neat.

[Mumbleypeg]

This one arrived in yesterday’s mail. Birthday present from our oldest son. This one is new but it reminds me a lot of the 100 or so years old North American Cutlery big coke bottle I have. Even has the same double pulls.

Very nice Dan! I really like the color, and I love the warnnie blade!

[Madmarco]

What can I say? I’m a sucker for Solingen’s
These arrived yesterday. A Explorer button lock and a Weidmannsheil Lockback.
First one of these Explorer button locks I’ve ever had. Pretty neat. The button locks it closed, half stop and open.

Two beauties EBM! The MOP on your Weid is stunning, and your Explorer has me intrigued, would you please let me know where I view and acquire one? Thanks, Mark!

Very cool little folder Rick! That knife is right up my alley, since I have a whole slew of unusual knives from around the world, and a knife being heavy is a strong selling feature for me, don't care for knives that feel light in-hand. Congrats on finding that little gem!

Beautiful knife for your collection Ken! And belated Happy Birthday, I was meaning to tell you yesterday but "stuff" kept sidetracking me. Mark!

[Railsplitter]

Thanks Mark.

[Dan In MI]

Railsplitter: I recognized that one immediately. Franklin Mint released a slew of those, if memory serves me correctly. I like the way the one bolster mimics the car's tailfins.

Ken: that's a nice birthday present! It got me to thinking that double pulls are a great feature that should be used more.

Marc: thanks for the kind words! I have two more Wharnies in transit, and one of them will be a carrier.

The explorer button locks are discontinued. I believe they were made in the 70’s or 80’s. I found mine on the bay.
Thanks for the compliments!

My Queen QN010 eluded the porch pirates yesterday and was in my mailbox when I got home. Whew! Exhale! Yeah, it's a China Queen and from the looks of it and the box it was made in the same factory as the Rough Riders. All in all, at 3-5/8" closed it's a fine little knife. Love the saw cut bone handles.

Thanks for the additional information EBM! I'll keep an eye out for one when I'm browsing Ebay!

Nice knife Jerry! The covers and the warnnie blade make that one special! Glad it got to you safe n' sound!
