Re: A few old Cripple Creeks
Haven't added anything to this thread lately so here are a few I've picked up. First is a big stag clasp knife with an Old Fort stamp. Second is a 1982 honey bone Buffalo Skinner. According to Levine only 5 of these were made in 1982. Third is a 10th Anniversary 5 blade pearl canoe with a Cripple Creek shield.
Re: A few old Cripple Creeks
All these Cripple Creeks are wonderfull fella's
When I started collecting back in the 70's, there was not much cash
rasin 2 kids, I wish I would have gotten a few of Bob's knives back in the day.
kinda drifted in 10 different directions and skipped over this brand allured by all
the Case Stag of the 1960's thru early 80's and my love for Marble's products...
Does anyone know if they call Sodbuster pictured just that ???
I cannot make out the stamp and etch etc. on my screen
What years was it made and what are its marks so I can start a search
for that knife, it is a dandy !!! & I am hooked !!!
Thanks,
Will

Re: A few old Cripple Creeks
I am fairly certain that sodbuster is a one of one. I know that it was not one of Bob's standard production knives.

Re: A few old Cripple Creeks
I picked these up a few months back. Bob Cargill makes some excellent knives.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Re: A few old Cripple Creeks
I love the color of that stag. It looks like vintage Case 1960's stag coloring. A lot of makers can't seem to get that color on their stag anymore.

Re: A few old Cripple Creeks

The pearl gunstock is a 1981 Cargill AECA knife. Great pearl, half stops, and solid knife all around. The copperhead is just a nice stag knife. I don't see a lot of cripple creek copperheads. Finally a nice strawberry bone banana trapper.
How long is that banana trapper? That's a sweet piece!
