All About Pocket Knives

Had some luck today in Snow Hill, MD.
BEAR-MGC, BUCK 500, OLD TIMER-43OT. The BUCK has some honest use but the BEAR and OT are stone mint. These are not what I collect so I'll take them to the Berlin, MD show on Oct. 22nd., maybe do some swapping. O'.

The bone handled pocket urility knife has some letters..."ITTERT & CO? I can't see the first letter.

Is that a folding guard that's tucked into the handle on that folding knife, and is the blade it's on missing? I've seen that brand before with only that part of the stamp showing but can't remember what we figured out it was. It looks German.____Dave

Smaller crowd than expected but I got some good ones.

I'm glad you did, I rarely get up to Webster,only couple times a year.

Wow, you two did great. Love the typesetter blade.

Nice hauls

Wish I had something cool to share...I did go to the flea market with my son on Sunday. I tried really hard to buy something, but pickins were not that good, and I didn't see anything that I absolutely had to take home with me.

Oh well, time well spent with my boy is better than a knife any day!

From the weekend....the Muskrat has no snap

You done good again Scott...

Way to go, Scott!

Been bangin' my head.....can't remember where I bought these....

EDIT: I remember now, from an antique mall....a friend of mine has a spot there.

A two dollar surprise package.
I'll have a go at two dollars for a taped up Case peanut.
The reason for the tape was obvious exposed tip.
I cleaned it up and did a little file work on the spine of the blade and the kick and got it to where it wouldn't cut me.
I cleaned out the blade well and sharpened it and oiled it and was happy to have it.
My peanut story in a nut shell.

Good job, Joe!
Love to see old one "tuned up" and put back in service.

Thank you, treefarmer.
It had been in that tape for quite some time. It was really scuzzy!
It is a nice little knife now.

My first thought was that you made a a silk purse out of a sows ear.

That pretty much tells the story, Ray.
Thank you.

Just got these at an estate sale this morning. All are in rough shape but couldn’t pass up a deal.

I found a Schrade 8OT yesterday at an antique store.
Now, I don't usually buy a knife that is not in need of repair, but this one was too cheap to pass up. It did need to be cleaned, but not repaired. Someone had put it up wet and it had several spots of new rust.
I scrubbed it with steel wool, then gave it a spotty vinegar patina by splashing a little vinegar on a rag and wrapping the blades. I will cut a few 'maters with it over the next few weeks to give it a real protective coating.
These Schrade Old Timers are not sexy, but they are good solid knives that hold a wicked edge!

Back from the flea market....
