KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY

[steve99f]

Score of the year for me! My wife and I were traveling to see relatives and stopped at a small outdoor flea market. That's when I spied this bowie. I figured it was Pakistani because it was the only knife on the table and was priced at $25. I think I was trembling when I pulled out my wallet. This is the best knife find I've made in a LONG time.

Should have offered 20 just on principal.
What a fantastic deal!

Scott, all I can think of is wow. Hope you had a wheelbarrow to get them home with. Nice work my friend. We were all afraid you might drown because of the hurricane, but never figured you'd drown in knives. ___Dave

Nice catch. I have one of those without Davy's etch and I was thrilled to get mine for $100 and I had to make my own sheath.____Dave

Gun show find. Case XX Kodiak 100 anniv. from 1989, mint in the box. It's just too pretty to use so I'm guessing most all of these made are in collections instead of on a belt.____Dave

[Byrd]

Nice find! Those are gorgeous knives. I wonder if anyone does get one to use? I bet it'd make a good Skinner, but I wouldn't use it for that!

[bighomer]

Nothing to compare to what you fellers are finding, but I turned one up that I had wanted to add to my tl- 29 type knives, a Jackson for the Case and a Lincoln for the crowning rooster.

[doglegg]

Dave, that would be a hard knife to pass by. Beautiful!!
BH, too great pick ups but that Case steals my heart. Great buy!!

[Bfeldman]

It’s been a bit since I’ve been on the site so here’s a few of my recent finds all together. Bottom to top:
Old unmarked bread knife
Henckels carving knife 131-8”
Henckels chef knife 102-9”
Hammer brand two blade
Old, unmarked butterfly knife
Two blade advertising knife by Parisian Novelty Co
Old nail clippers with the mark obscured
Bone handled Cammilus Army engineer knife
Hammer Brand Minneapolis-Moline advertising knife

[zoogirl]

Nice catch’s, gentlemen! Bfeldman, there’s something about that’s old breadknife. I don’t usually pay much attention to kitchen items, but that one is kind of yelling at me. Cool!
Here’s my new additions.
The little white celluloid is a Richards. (To nobody’s great surprise... )
The silver Gent’s is a Clauss. I looked it up and naturally, I ended up right here at home! It’s posted over in Knife Lore in a Clauss thread.
The silver plating is rather thin on the one end, but compared to what it looked like when I got it, I’m pretty happy with it. $5 Cdn, no complaints!

[cdavco]

can anyone tell me something about this knife please

[zoogirl]

Wild guess but I’m going to say early 1900’s by the style. I can’t quite make out the tang stamp, unless it’s actually a Case. Is it silver?
It’s very nice anyway, and I really like it!

[doglegg]

Isn't that INOX on the blade? Probably Italian or German. Maybe a tourist knife for those visiting Lourdes.

[zoogirl]

Probably. I think I was seeing the O as a C with something else in front of it.

The tang stamp is definitely IONX, which is stainless. INOX is French for "Acier inoxydable" which means "Stainless Steel", "NON OXIDIZABLE" or "RUST FREE." Same as the German tang stamp "ROSTFREI." This is a typical tang stamp on a blade.

I agree with doglegg about it being a souvenir of Lourdes, France (Our Lady Of Lourdes).

I picked up a couple at the Cloverdale Swapmeet today.
My keeper is the big Japan made Sabre. It’s destined for a camping kit. The main blade has a slight wobble but a bit of attention with a punch ought to fix that.
There’s something weird about this knife. The scales are quite different colours. If you look at the edges though, they match. I’m guessing it’s Delrin. If you look close, you can see saw marks on the side.
The other is s little multi knife. My son’s girlfriend loves foxes and this little guy jumped right out of the bin! He’s going to be a gift.

[doglegg]

Congrats Ann, two good ones.

[Iron Hoarder]

Got some good scrounging in this past weekend. The Joseph Rodgers wire cutter multi tool circa WWI is the rarest find but the unusual folding scissors are a great find too.

Nice pearl there Iron Hoarder and Zoogirl.
DJ, that is a great looking fixed blade...especially the sheath work.

Found this lonely stockman looking for a home.
Henckel 1929 in stag. Every blade is stamped and the main is etched. Couldn’t leave it behind.

Iron Hoarder,
The Rogers tool is a rare find indeed. I had one that sold quite high at auction. I believe it was issued to the predecessor of MI6 operatives (can't recall the actual name) as an escape tool. Great find. Only the 2nd one I have seen.

I'm digging that Venture Ettrick, Robert!
