Thanks! I have a 95041, but yours looks much more yellow than mine. Is it a trick of the lighting, I wonder?

If ever I'm able to get out and about a little more, I'd be lucky to do half as well as you!

Might be a trick of my bad photography skills. No this one is almost faded to white or it was white to start
with and has just yellowed over time.

The weekend haul...

Great little haul!

Thanks Dan Last weekend was "all-axes" this weekend "all-knives" strange how that goes...

I love finding knives from Scandinavia!

GS: Thought you might like seeing this EKA that's very similar to yours. It's a cruise ship souvenir. The one side is slightly rubbed off but the designs are the serpent motif like yours. I've had it for about twenty years. J.O'.

Thanks R.G. ! That's a little gem! ... I love the knives EKA produced over the years EKA started making knives in 1882, in the town of Eskilstuna, Sweden. The town of Eskilstuna, has an ancient tradition of working with iron and steel, that goes back to pre-Viking times. The first water driven forge was in existence as long ago as 1485. I think as of today it's heyday of knife production has diminished greatly ... but I am always happy to find one of the knives they made over the years.

Thanks Scott Nice finds there, ... I like that Chicago Cut. The Traveler, I have over 100 Chicago Cut. knives and that is the 1st one I have seen Sweet!

Due to the price and rarity, I never thought I would own anything Strider. If you didn't know, Mick Strider is considered to be one of the tactical knife Big Three's along with Rick Hinderer and Chris Reeves. This knife made it's debut at the 2023 Shot Show back in January, it's a Strider/Pro-Tech collaboration.

Attaching some pictures and a link to Blade HQ.

You done good R.R. I had one of these and traded it off ... .... ... .... I do collect Strider and picked up some nice ones over the years.

Just picked up this (1982?) Gerber MII

Thanks, and nice Gerber, GSP.

What a great find, Dog!
I get really discouraged in my area. Closest flea market is an hour or more away. Had a community wide yard sale here yesterday - not a single knife in sight!

Anyone have a Kizer Mexican Blanket? I picked up one with the Strider/Pro-Tech. I have no affiliation with Blade HQ, except my wallet.

No, but I kinda like the look. Will be interested to see photos once you have 'em in hand, if you're so inclined.

Will be happy to do so.

Found in Melfa, on Virginia's Eastern Shore. Small pen blade badly twisted and tip bent. I was able to straighten it out carefully.(So much for hardness and temper. I was sure it would snap but it's fine now. The discoloration is just a reflection, I didn't heat it.) Scales are substantial brass. 3-1/8" . Only my second JUNKERWERK, Solingen piece. I found they now are making custom foam products for the auto industry and they're involved in medical technology. J.O'.

Thanks Tvic ! This past weekend was out of sight for me... flea market and yard sales... normally goods finds are few and far between, but I had some sweet scores!
