Ulster WAS going to be my EDC but the kids got me my dream knife a Case 62130SSdark red gunstock script twas a great fathersday my wife says they should have got me a camera A man has to have his prioraties

Dog, that sounds awesome man! Soon as you get that camera be sure to get a pic or two of it.

I found this knife at a garage sale.
I was very happy till I opened it.
How could anybody do this to a knife?
It's my new everyday carry, I don't have
to worry about scratching the blade.
This knife is a E254 (Frostwood handle)
made in 1986.

Coal, looks like someone tried to sharpen that with a chainsaw. I still like it and I think that makes a great EDC.

Thanks, it's hard to find good knives in this area.
To much competition I guess.

Shame when you get one like that makes me wonder what happened to em that the PO thought they had to use a grinder or a wire wheel to dress em up
I put those types of knives to work in the garage er wherever--just got a Boker that had the blades ate up by somebody using a grinder on the main blade i'll use it in the garage

I think people get in a hurry, they think it's faster
using a grinder rather than a stone.

Skoal WOW don't have to find a place in the safe for it that's my kind of knife Just like a new truck ya don't have to worry about the first dent ,that knife has class

This is what one of those knife sharpeners on the back of an electric can opener will do to your knife.
I have seen this same scratch pattern many times.
"NEVER USE THAT SO CALLED SHARPENER ON THE BACK OF YOUR ELECTRIC CAN OPENER"!!!!!!
Have a quality knife like this one professionally sharpened if you can't handle it.


"What a shame"

I agree!!!......I have seen many a good knife ruined by those contraptions.
Enough to make ya cry!!

This Buck 55 came today and I really like it.
The only thing wrong with it was the bolsters were all scratched right out of the blister pack. ???
I am gonna use this one so I really dont mind. Very cool little knife.

I don't own a 55....but I like them.

Johnnie, its a fairly heavy well made med size knife. I know you would dig it.

I'll have to check them out....they look great!!

Here's an interesting one I found - A. Field & Co over PROGRESS. Reference states Prussia / Germany circa. 1886 - 1942 (about the same time we started bombing raids in WWII Im guessing) Broken secondary, but the cool thing is the scales, I think it's tortise shell ??? Is it possible, I know it's been outlawed, but for how long ?

UPDATE - I did the steel wool test.......... celluloid.
