I agree not too long ago they were tent stakes , little demand except for some US bayonets. Seems now that $10 bayo is $100. Hard to figureGSPTOPDOG wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2024 1:49 amCorn Creek Cutlery wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2024 1:14 amThanks TopDog ... amazing what bayonets sell for now, even a replica.on the #1 rule. Buying knives is like buying jewelry ... gotta be able to find the gem and negotiate a fair price with the jeweler.
Anxious butter-in-ers don't seem to understand this.
You said Cx3
many YEARS I SOLD OFF A BUNCH OF bayonets and now I can't replace them for anything close to what I sold them for....

You can always get more money, good old knives are hard to find.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Ooohhhh, you have no idea how may times I've thought of snapping-off blades then grinding down the "stumps" so I'd have the knife I like, but so far have only thought about it!GSPTOPDOG wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2024 12:51 amThanks M&M, I have been working on cleaning some of them up and a few of the rustiest ones are already in a vinegar tub soaking away. One of the better scores was a Kutmaster Stockman in great shape, except for the very end/tip of the main blade busted off, but that can be reprofiled on a belt grinder w/o much loss in OAL.
....
If I was you I would just bust the entire blade off....
and then bust off the spey blade and then I would have a one bladed knife.... perfect for an M&M collector's piece!

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Lucky indeed, Dog!
Nice catch on all of these big honkin' bowies!
I was thinking that, if you were attacked by some angry raging animal you could use the first knife in defence, but instead of stabbing it, you could smash-chet it upside it's head!
Don't worry, I won't be here all week, bada boom!

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Delmar, MD roadside flea market today. $5 each, (plus a half-tank of gas!) A 4-line Camillus military style. Great snap, 3 of 4 blades perfect, but some grinder jockey did in the main blade, GRRRRRR! , and a "King Oscar Sardines" advertiser/favor with a cool sardine fork and metal inlays, by Globusmen, Germany. *They're really some of the best sardines.
