Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Gino - Boy what nice finds! Love the scout knife and Schrade's. I need to try hitting a flea market around hear. I'm sure they have them. I frequent the antique shops but usually don't see any good deals. Thanks for posting... TD
A sharp knife is a friend indeed!

It came in the mail today. The sliding button is a lock for the nipper/cigar cutter/caplifter blade. That blade is spring-loaded and it pops out to the point shown in the pics. To set or release the lock the very end of that blade must be fully depressed to move the lock one way or the other. I think I'll switch forums and see what BRL has to say about it. Best eight bucks I've spent in a long time.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Fixed blade find at the local fleamarket. All kitchen variety.
1. KA-BAR carbon chrome 10" 960-10. $.50
2. Dexter 4898 8.5" chef's knife. Excellent condition with a nice patina. $1.00 I don't know anything about the knife but could tell it was good quality. I searched ebay history and found an identical knife in similar condition that sold for $89!
3. W.R. Case & Sons Russet Line "Wand" 10.5" very thin hollow-ground blade. The knife is nested in a wooden block which has a sharpening stone attached to the bottom. The original box is also included. The box and wood appear to have some age to them but the engraving on the blade "CASE'S Wand" almost looks like it was done with a laser. I have no idea what this knife is and cannot find anything on the net but figured anything W.R. Case should be worth the $2.00 asking price.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
You guys really find some super stuff. Man, I've got to find a decent Flea Market someplace. We used to have a good one here in Boone County but they've slowly changed into a retail seconds market. At one time every booth was a picker's heaven, but no more.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
yeah i usually look through the stuff at smaller set ups and dont look much at the bigger fancier looking setups and i do love going through boxes of junk knives too i have some good finds from that. my wife hates it when i look through all the booths but she doesnt complain when i tell her what they are worth.
