I do like me some Copperheads and the Wharncliffe blade is "almost" a deal maker BUT I'm not a fan of locking blades. Bummer dude.

Found a beautiful challenge cut co knife ,one blade lightly used other blade broke at shoulder pat. March 15 1918,handles in great shape,knife blades were froze up ,buttons also,got freed up works great now ,bought for 2 dollars at old hardware store that closed 30 years ago

Ordered this last night… will be a gift for a long-time friend who became a Pastor at a nearby church.

Lots of people but not lots of knives.....

You still done pretty good, Scott!

If it weren't for the fact I have totals coming for two large group of diecast cars bought from fellow collectors that built up over the past six months, I'd be all over that one.

Here are the "Before & After shots...

The blades were still stuck closed after cleaning, it took some "mechanical-assistance" to get 'em open
still more cleaning up to do, but at least I can open it "free-hand" and I know who made it!

Awesome save, GSP.

good job topdogg

Found this neat Buck Bantam 285 today in a Goodwill store for $3!!!!
It is not the style of knife that I usually carry, but it looks unused, is very lightweight, US-made, and scary sharp!
I am tempted to tote this one for a bit, just to see if I develop a feel for it.

Not crazy about that style either but, that knife has a very good look to it and you could get swayed a little by carrying it! Nice Find!

$3 AND made in the USA... Hmm ... Sounds like a SCORE to me!

Nice find! I use the 284 and 285 heavily--they are great knives that weigh little.


I need to scour my Goodwill more thoroughly. I had figured that they did not sell any kind of knife due to them possibly considering them to be weapons. I'd looked over most of the store and didn't see much I wanted.

I go to a thrift store and I always looked in the tool section for axes or ax heads. I never saw any and ask a worker one day who told me "Oh no, we don't put anything sharp like out on the floor, we don't sell any weapons". She said they have received them in the past, but they end up mixed in with all the metal items they can't sell such as old grills broken metal chairs etc. Then all the metal is sold to a scrap guy...

Got this off of the bay and received it today. Snagged it up quickly, she's was very rough, still is lol.... 4 line Camillus Sword Streamline

Glad you got it. A sweet old knife deserves a little love.
