A few old Cripple Creeks
Re: A few old Cripple Creeks
Just a guess on my part. I am not aware that any Cargill or Cripple Creek knives came with sheaths. There are folks that frequent AAPK that know more about Cargills than I do. Hope they will chime in. I hope I'm wrong and this is an original sheath.
Re: A few old Cripple Creeks
I can't help answer your sheath questions, but I can comment about the knives. Those are awesome!!
Re: A few old Cripple Creeks
Here's one I've recently added to the collection. A Cargill pearl lock back whittler. Like to see some others.

Re: A few old Cripple Creeks
Very nice. There was a set of 4 Wounded Knee Barlows, unfortunatley I do not have any of them. They came in a wooden wheel.
Re: A few old Cripple Creeks
Here's a few that I recently picked up. The clasp knife has a blade etch that was not often used. The other three are handled in that same material that Kabar used for their bicentennial trapper. The butterbean and trapper are Tennessee Homecoming knives and the toothpick is a Chief Anderson.
Re: A few old Cripple Creeks
Lots and lots and lots of Cargill / Cripple Creek knives in the latest issue of SMKW catalog. They are all very nice looking in mint condition, but all are out of my price range.

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
Nice looking group of Creeks there redrider. I really like the early Cripple Creeks. They are getting harder and harder to find. HEre are a couple of Prototypes i picked up a while back.

Gorgeous whittler and coffin jack!
I call it honey stag, probably picked up that term somewhere.Rookie wrote: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.
