I posted this one over in the Boker forum too, but it definitely fits in here to, as it was a definite "knife find" in my eyes! Even though the blades are worn, they are all rock solid with excellent snap, and I really really like the handles and shield. I think it's a classy lookin' old knife. Best I can tell it dates from between 1945-1965.
Especially qualifying it as a "knife find" is that I was the only one that bid on this one and I scored it for .99cents!

There are those who are...and those who wish they were. He himself decides.
Case Tony Bose 546 - very cool well made knife, the handles are sweet and its just very well made top to bottom.
GEC 68 White owl - Very dissapointed in this knife, its the second one that I bought. The first was a Buffalo horn and the handle was cracked and it also had a miss drilled pin hole.
Sorry Mike. .....I saw your 99cent Boker and forgot to post.
I can't believe you got such a cool looking old Boker for that price......Great score,Bro.
Back home now after spending most of the week in Charlotte. I've already posted the old Buck 301 I bought down in the Buck section; here is the Canal Street Doctor's Knife I bought the same day. This is my first Canal Street knife and I believe it is an exceptionally well made knife.

Are you into the Doc's Colonel, or did you just buy that one because you didn't have a Canal Street? Looks great. Notice how good it feels in the hand?

Jerry, I visited with Red Trout in Charlotte and he has several Canal Street knives for sale and I wanted to own a CS. I picked this one for several reasons; it was smaller than the others and I lean towards medium size pocket knives - it had jigged bone handles, most of the others had Old Barn Chestnut - I like bone better, and finally Red Trout made me a terrific deal on that knife. Thanks for the compliments.
