All About Pocket Knives

It is three and a quarter inches closed. Each blade is marked (Miller Bros. Meriden). The bone is really pretty. My camera does not do it justice. I think it is the only Miller Bros. in my collection.

Looks like a good haul of cutlery!
Is there a name on the old cleaver?

Lots of China junk and a few HOKs around and most were too high to even dicker with. Lots of snowbirds and they are a "different bunch", no offense intended to my northern friends. Seems like good old August weather makes the shopping a bit better than in the spring. Never saw so many poor folks, about half the women had holes and tears in their jeans! Like I said poor folks, some of the fellers must not have money to buy any new britches, theirs's were so tight, I guess they just must have outgrown them. And something else I saw today was dogs in strollers. What y'all think about that? Usually when you meet some one with as baby stroller you expect to see a cute little young'un not some little phoo-phoo dog. I told Miss Joy about my morning when we met back at the car, she said, "You need to get out more often!

Always try to find one of my good friends a straight razor for his collection, found a nice one and the ol' boy wanted a bit too much but he said he'd throw in a knife I was looking at for the asking price. The knife is a unused Camco electricians knife, TL-29 style, so I got those two.011.JPG015.JPG

Next I saw a box of POS type knives and you always should root through the pile as there might be a prize hiding amongst them. Well I found a Boker Barlow , the one with the neat stamped bolsters and a florist knife made by Kutmaster/Utica. These ended up being $2 knives and they both walk and talk with a little Quick Release applied. However, the Boker, a one-armed man blade was worn beyond belief, I just had to have that one to look at and show off! 013.JPG023.JPG

Another guy had a similar box of Chinese crap and down in the pile I found an old used Frontier Stockman and an unused Steel Warrior (China), solid little peanut style again $2 knives.021.JPG019.JPG

Webster is an amazing place, we're too old to see it all in a day. During the winter and spring there are literally 100s of vendors, anything and everything can be found there. It is worth a couple of hours if you have the time. If you enjoy "people watching", you'll be in hog heaven.
