Wow, a beauty! I never find anything THAT good.

I walked around a local flea market this morning before church, and picked up this little Sharp brand SAK clone for $4. It has some scratches from normal use, but is still in decent shape.
I have a handful of Sharp brand knives, and I think that they were sold exclusively at K-Mart stores.
Most of them were made in Japan, so I was surprised to see that this one was made in Czechoslavakia!
I couldn't resist buying it!

Nice score! THe only Sharp SAK clones I personally have seen were Japanese.

Believe that to be a Mikov contract knife--recognized the can and bottle openers. They're still in business, and they're still making the same basic pattern in the "Stovka" range. It's the 100-NH-5 model.

I found this under a pillow on my futon in the spare bedroom. It must have been there over a year now Well I guess that counts as a "KNIFE FIND OF THE DAY"

This tang stamp was used by Camillus from 1960 to the late 1970s so I am glad to have it "back in the fold" and folded up down in my pocket

[Quick Steel]

What a great holiday find. Congratulations! What is lost shall be found.

[1967redrider]

Sweet finds, everyone! And that Ulster is the bee's knees!

[tvic]

Knifegnome, Reverend and Dog, fine looking knives! Really like the handle on the Camillus, Dog!

[Dan In MI]

I agree; some great finds. Glad the Camillus was flushed out of hiding!

[GSPTOPDOG]

Thanks everyone! It is good to "end up" with "another" Camillus without "coming out of pocket", even if it just my old knife going "back into pocket" so to speak

[GSPTOPDOG]

That's a considerable amount of rust...it could easily be a Michigan knife. Hope you're able to salvage something out of it!

After many days of soaking, hardly anything to show for it. The blades are frozen shut/closed I changed out the old vinegar and poured in a fresher helping of vinegar... maybe next week there will be some better results.

Looks pretty far gone. Good luck on it, look forward to seeing how it turns out.

[Dan In MI]

Still hoping for some good results with it. A bath in oil may be in order?

[1967redrider]

I'm a sucker for Case -40 Doglegs. Looked in AAPK member stores first.

[garddogg56]

Thats a looker RR

Nice! I'm a sucker for Case -40 Doglegs too!

It will need to be in the vinegar a while longer before it hit the oil. It has been over 100 degrees every day this week, so I am hoping that heat and the fresher vinegar will force more rust off so I can open up the blades.

Thanks! I think the pitting will be very, very bad in the end, but who knows? It could end up being a Camillus Short line under there

[1967redrider]

Thanks, gard and GSP, can't wait to see it in person. I do have one -40 but it's the NKCA one from 1985.

Struch out at the gun/knife show in Duluth, Mn. today so I headed over to the antique shop and found these three, all three for $70. Remington jack, NYK Hammer brand lg stockman, and a Queen Cut. No 19 trapper in burgundy composition. At the gun show I bought two bottles of rhubarb/cherry preservatives. You gotta buy something at a gun show.____DaveDu

Jackpot! Great find Dave...

Great pick-ups, Dave! The Remington in particular pushes a lot of the right buttons for me.

Good score. Even the preserves! I went out today, and didn't find anything I couldn't live without.And lordy, it was hot out. All I took home was a penguin figurine for my sister, LOL.
