You can never have too many electricians knives, Top Dog! ::tu::
I agree... but I think you can have too many big swords... ::facepalm:: ... :oops: I just another one about an hour ago :oops: ::dang:: at the local pawn shop... ::facepalm::

Nice group, GSP. I guess you threw down the gauntlet. 😉👍
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Christmas gift from 2017 was a gift certificate to a local shooting range. I forgot about it. For some reason, I thought
about this gift from my wife and went looking for it, and actually remembered where it was.

Used the gift certificate to buy this CRKT HERON knife today.

None that I can see, but she's pretty pitted.....the grooved handles are really cool. Does that help identifying the age?

I am definitely no tools expert but it appears to have some age on it. I have an old draw knife that belonged to my grandpa, prob around 100 years old, so I was just a little curious about that one. Those handles are cool, thanks for showing more pics!

This was in a bunch of knives I purchased to work on. To rusted to see the maker. Someone made the knife with a house key on it. I thought it was very unusual. Just wanted to share with everyone. ::hmm::

Just found this one at a local antique store. I like anything with St. Louis on it. Ambasador USA. I like the old phone number on it. Dont know much about Ambassador knives though. Will google a bit when I get home. It's a clean little knife.Thanks for looking. :)

Thank you Phillip! I read though the link you provided and believe it is indeed Colonial. It seems to have good steel. I dont normally pick up advertising knives but this one struck my fancy and it's been so long since I have bought a knife, I just felt like I needed me a new toy. It's fun to me researching them as well. I appreciate you!! ::handshake:: :)

Same here, but I don't see much. That one is a dandy, good subject matter, good age, and nice shape with sharp, fully legible print. I wouldn't have hesitated to snag that one!
