Modern materials but classic styling - a perfect combination for EDC and morning coffee. Jack Wolf Venom Jack dressed in a Rock Pattern Dark Blast 6AL/4V Titanium with a Hollow Ground Crucible S90V Blade.
Couple copperheads picked up this week. Jim Bowie on top and white handle German eye on bottom. Jim Bowie one has the Carl schlieper stamp on reverse tang. Never seen one like it till now.
Stop by the little flea market today and found some hoks to add to the edc's.
Did and little active rust cleaning with a #2 pencil and cleaned and oiled the joints and cleaned the knife wells and got the old sweet Japan Sabre Barlow and the John Primble snapping real good the Camco Ireland needs more work, I don't think I've ever seen a camco made in Ireland but then I've lead a very sheltered life.

Thanks for the comments fellers I agree with you both.
If I own a better made Barlow than this'un someone with a better set of chickeneyes and coon fingering hands is gonna have to show me.
Here are pictures of my newest collectibles. First a Camillus folding hunter with three line stamp and reproduction Remington large gunstock. These were birthday presents from my friend Jerry T.
Then a Wallkill river works barehead jack and a Walden knife co. Eureka jack I bought from Mike, a dealer at the Little Valley show.
Good snappers all of them

Keep your edge sharp, otherwise you just can't cut it.
Looking for Carrier Cutlery and early Robeson with Elmira tang stamps.
Had a bd a few days ago my son knows I like barlows so he gifted me this kinda new take on a old favorite, dang thing is dangerously sharp out of the box. That point aught to be fine for splinters.
Did and little more cleaning and put a keen little edge on them. Had to get after that old shell handle Camco. Sanded the paint or whatever the gunk on it was, and it turn out better than I figured, had to glue the bare end back on,believe or not but the thing will shave paper.

Ain't got much in them he wanted 15 bucks, I wanted them for ten he came down to 14 I said 12, 13 and we got a deal says he I took'em. Don't you love two old farts haggling over some hoks.
Found this one at a garage sale today. Springbrooke Knife Company. I got it for $1. I have a soft spot for old hawk bills with wooden handles cause I carried and lost one as a youngster. Anyway, I plan on turning this into a sheeps foot like I have seen others do here.

That's got to be a rare brand. I have hundreds of hawkbills and have never seen that name. I'd check with value before I'd alter it. Nice find for a dollar.____Dave...... I checked Levine's Guide and it was a California company around 1900 and is rated high so is worth a few bucks unaltered. Altered, it's worth about what you paid for it.

Few nice finds at the local flea market today. Case xx hobo. Muskrat antique tang stamp series and a lockback.
Looks like you must have been to a "high class" local flea market to find those great Case knives!
That muskrat rings my bell!
