Flea finds from today
The sheaths are sheath only no knife.
The Colonial is mechanically sound but ugly as can be.
The blue is a China made Maxam, cheap stash knife.
The all metal is a Kutmaster.
Sabre could use some tlc but I've not seen one that small.
Had to get the RR's because I like tiny knives.

Received this 1 today from the bay. It’s a factory reject/ case second lunchbox knife. I cannot tell what caused it to be rejected and was curious if anyone may know. All blades open and snap as they should. Handles seem fine to me. Only thing I see different than all 1980s ones I glanced at online is none had the pin holes in the shield. Is that the reason ? None the less a good piece for the collection.

Here are two I recently picked up. The bone with the steel bolsters and broken pen blade is a Continental and the wood lock back is a Chicago Cut L33.____Dave

Picked up today at the local hardware store. Was shocked to see a 2013 tony Bose still in the display case. At 2013 retail price. Feel like it was a score ? Back pocket case xx Harley Davidson.

From a gun/knife show yesterday, two Westerns (a 532 mint and a 534 lightly used), a Challenge hawkbill, An Ulster Knife co. (pre 1940), a mint Queen kids fixed blade in sheath, and a pre 1940 Simmons Hdwe co. stockman with pitted but mostly full blades and great snap.____Dave

That was quite the haul Dave
The reminiscing was probably equivalent to the knice haul of knives. Good to hear it was good all around.

Picked up four non-working switchblades at the flea market, putting in my knife store.

A recent antique mall haul. I paid more than I usually like to for these, but the quality on these is also superior to what I'm usually scraping out of bargain bins.

The red glitter cell utica has a blade etch, as does the true value brand Imperial electricians knife.

The Case is a 62031 LHR, nice shape. The ring turn is in great shape. The 23 and the letter opener are the only ones requiring any cleaning or work. The Kutmaster is a known quantity but in good shape. The little Parker is too small to be practical, but I have another with wood so I had to get this one with bone, and it has some local advertising etched on the blade. The Camillus Forever Free stockman is a show stopper, but my favorite is the mini fixed blade with stag handle and leather scabbard :shock:

Zach, you picked up some really nice knives there ! That fixed blade with sheath is interesting.
Let me know if you’re going to put any in your store ,would be interested in the Camillus “ forever free “ knife.

::hmm:: the mini fixed blade with stag handle and leather scabbard looks like a Linder Knives fixed blade, Made in Solingen, Germany. I bought one in Vienna Austria several years ago.

Odd ball find today. Fighting rooster 3 blade. Handles are nothing like I’ve seen previously or any could find online. Has a metal toothpick and tweezers on the end of handles. O bolsters. Could have been a rehandle but I don’t know for sure. Was done very well if so. Anyone know any information or seen one like it before ?

That's pretty cool!
Kinda reminds me of the birdeye knives, no bolster but a larger pin or rivet head. Since it has the extra tools in the handles it's probably not a rehandle.

It put me in mind of a birdseye also. Just never seen a fighting rooster that wasn’t some crazy color or stag handle. Hoping someone may know some good info on it. Thank you !!
