KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY

[Rockingkj]

Thanks 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....

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 figure

What a great score for you, Dog, congratulations!
I spotted quite a few solid looking useable pieces in there,

Thanks 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!

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!
I forgot to ask, did you thank your dog for insisting you guys go out? lol!

Well you rounded up a bunch of great knives in the mean time. Great group!

[tvic]

Dang! You got some NICE ones there, TOPDOG! Congrats on the finds!

Thanks D.L. and Tim I owe it all to my dog... I keep taking him out and finding more knives

... My only complaint is that he is supposed to be a bird dog ... but he hasn't come up with any Hen & Rooster, Kissing Crane or Fighting Roosters yet....

[Madmarco]

Got lucky again this week....

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!

[Madmarco]

And just why not, Dog? Remember, it's all about attitude! Another fine showing of some very cool folders, thanks for the treat!

Marco... funny you should mention the smatchet..... I have a Boker Smatchet* .... it is absolutely awesome! The real rare one is the Al Mar Smatchet, they seem to go for huge money ... my buddy sold his for a ridiculous amount, years ago.

So true, Dog, I've seen them selling at ACK.com for BIG bucks!

A GREAT DAY at the flea market! Golden Rule cutlery jumbo jack. Winchester equal end. Two gerber 200'S. Fifteen bux.

[TripleF]

Kniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiicw scores fellas!!

Took a little walk about while selling at the flea today and found these 3.

[Ridgegrass]

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. J.O'.

You did good.

Golden Rule, there's a rare bird, and not too badly gassed. O'.

[knife7knut]

Found this little critter @ an antique shop yesteday. Master blade mangled a bit, tang worn but handles are nice & the pen blade is good. Pleaded with me to bring him home. How could I refuse? 6 bux. Unusual shield.

No outgassing that is detectible but there is some image deterioration.

The number is saying Catt to me. O'.
