A Couple of Little Treasures From the Berlin, MD Show

Post by herbva »

I stopped in last Saturday at the inaugural Berlin Md (near Ocean City) knife show that J.O. (Ridgegrass) did a wonderful job of organizing. It was at the Windmill Vineyard and Winery ( a great setting) and was a small, but fun event. Anyway, the owner of the winery is a knife collector, but couldn't be there because he was picking up a truckload of grapes. His daughter, Brittany had his great collection (or at least a good part of it) on display, but, unfortunately, they weren't for sale. But, there were 3 small buckets of knives on the table labeled $10, $5 and $2. Naturally, I had to root through them, and this Remington toothpick called out to me. As you can see, the celluloid scales were in pretty bad shape, and the layer of rust I found underneath was even worse. But, at trip to the wire wheel and all was good. I thought Gabon ebony (which I have a lot of, but that is another story for another day) would look good on it, together with a bowtie shield from my parts bin, and here it is. The last picture is a Syracuse jack that also called out to me, but from the $5 bucket. Still trying to decide trying to decide on what kind of new clothes to dress it in, but the knife will let me know sooner or later. I had a great time chewing the fat with J.O. and the other vendors and hope this event will continue and grow larger in the future! :D

Nice save of the toothpick, Herb. Great choices for the scale material and shield. ::tu::

The Syracuse looks very pocket friendly. ::nod::
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!
