It is just a tad small for my taste, but I don't have enough Buck knives yet.
Hard to beat a good old 303, Reverand! ::tu::

The "OLCUT", (Union) hunter was the highlight ,and the Knights Templar, 1921 Louisiana Conclave commemorative is a nice one too. The "Made In USA" scout/multi is nearly perfect. The "G.E."-Germany, pearl lobster is too, no chips or cracks. Great price for all, but I won't brag, just grateful. :D J.O'.
That is quite a haul!

Looks like a Western, too. Did you check the guard for possible stamping there?

Thanks Ray, ::handshake:: I did check the guard and no marks... it sure feels like a Western and the sheath it appears to be Western as well. I wonder if there was etching on the blade similar to what Queen did in the 60's and the etching is just all worn away... ::shrug:: ???

Thanks TMK! ::handshake:: I might be able to weigh a marked/stamped Western bowie against this bowie and see if the weigh matches.... ::hmm:: If it is alsmot the same or very close that could be another clue...🔍

K.G. that looks a lot better to bring home than just catching the bouquet at a wedding and bringing back some flowers.... ::hmm::

knifegnome,
A good group of knives, congratulations.
The Queen stockman looks very good. Can't quite make out the stamp, what era is it from? The Winterbottom handles look super nice, hope the pile side is as good. ::tu::
I reckon those knives made your trip from Florida to New York a little more palatable. ::poke:: :)

Found this old Schrade improved muskrat on a garage sale today for $2. It's pretty rough but it'll be fun to clean it up and carry it.

Thanks! I am always looking at garage sales but usually come up empty handed. This find made my day.

A little tune up on the secondary blade and it'll be good, a great knife.
2 bucks, what a prize!
I've never skinned a muskrat but I do use my Old Timer muskrat every year touching up venison cuts before packaging. A favorite pattern for me. ::tu::

Two knives came home with me today:
IMG_3036.jpeg
I found this Imperial at a Pawn shop for $7. I fell in love with that handle wrap. The blades did look terrible, but a #2 pencil took care of the worst of it.

Then I came across this little Schrade USA 515 Scrimshaw in a thrift store for $1. It looks like a factory second, and has a broken spring.
