Nice!

I happen to have quite a few vehicles made out of wood--some made by a guy here locally who used to sell them at local festivals, some I made, and some my Granddad made. Also, I have several of the 88 cent ones from Walmart--usually with crude paint and Sharpie artwork I did as a kid. Been meaning to buy some more to try sanding and finishing them to look nicer.

Here's a similar knife, it came from about 80 miles WNW of Woodville as the crow flies. This one has a tang "stamp", an upside down E P. This wooden Barlow also has a half stop position.
Nice little wooden car, is that your making?

Yep, I make toys to donate to organizations that serve poor kids. I make them for little kids that don't realize how bad a woodworker that I am.

Picked this one up today from a small roadside trade-day down the highway from me. Picked it out of a $10 discount box. It is a Camillus Deluxe pattern 83 Pony Stock. The tang stamp is a no line Camillus over New York over USA. It is 2-5/8" closed, has synthetic handles without a shield, nickle silver bolsters, and nickle silver milled liners. Originally it would have had a blade etch of "Camillus Delux" on the clip blade but this one is worn off. Clip blade has slight wobble but very good snap. The coping blade & pen blade have no wobble, and hard snap. I had to do some cleaning on it, and now need to do some sharpening. Still, will be a good small edc to carry in your watch pocket.

Smitty, that’s a real prize! Congratulations on a great $10 find!

Thanks Phil. I believe this is the smallest and slimmest Camillus I now own.

Smitty. I punched the “LIKE” button on that!!

Appreciate it Tim. Not many times I've been able to find a no line Camillus in a discount box.

Good looking knife Scott. I guess the previous owner picked his teeth with it.

$10 well spent. You have been on a real hot streak lately. I must admit I'm a little envious!

Appreciate it Dan. It comes in spells, unfortunately when I hit some good luck for a bit, there is usually a dry spell afterwards.

Thanks P.B. most of my fishing holes have dried up over the past couple of years and finding good stuff is harder and harder out here. But, even a blind pig finds a truffle every now and again

That's a mighty fine haul!

Got lucky today! I like Kabar and Union Cut Co. on my search, I found this little gem! Not perfect, but makes me happy!
