I know, I'm feeling like I'm back in the mid 1800's!!!

The pliers knife is highly sot after.

That's quite a pile! You did good.
Always fun to discover what's under the dirt and rust, etc.

Knice haul!!

Good pick today. Got to GEC as they opened the doors this AM. Got to choose from several of the new ivory toe nail clippers. picked out a beauty to put beside its mate in ebony. What a pair!! I picked a more oatmeal ivory Ibro took a more clean white/ivory one.

After church and lunch yesterday we wandered into one of our frequented antique malls in Denton. Cheryl found some glassware and I found these knives.
The scout/utility knife is by Syracuse Knife CO. and stamped Product of Poland on the small blade, so I'm guessing it's from 1975-76. It would grade as Very good to Excellent condition.
The next three knives were sold together: Imperial Trick Knife; Barlow; Imperial fish knife. The 3 of them are in Excellent condition.
Then the big one of the day for me. The mall had a new dealer who makes his own Damascus knives. I'm pretty sure he buys the blades and then fabricates his own handles. He had a display of around 18 to 20 fixed blades and they were all approximately the same size and all were selling for $35 each.

I was guessing it was Water-ville. Don't see many Water-Ville near where I live.

Picked up a ESEE 4, never sharpened but carried so the owner said…When you can find these used it’s a great idea to get them and still with factory grind… I’m proud of it…well colors are somewhat scary, I may need to get some different scales…

To each his own. I like the orange handles, but that's just me.

Nice one, Jamie! I'm with Jerry, I really like those orange handles! This has been an EDC of mine for a long time..

Orange is fine but I don’t care for it with the green blade….it would look great with a black blade..

This is the barrel knife that was in the box of knives I got at the flea market.
Segerstrom Eskilstuna Sweden,1864-1925 , 3" barrel. This is the first barrel knife I have owned, The carved handle must not be common all the ones on the bay are the smooth burl.
