You've got some fine luck.

I've been stuck in with the little monster for most of the day so only managed to come up with one small William Rodgers, Sheffield, Bowie knife. It does still have the etch on the blade and fair bit of it's original polish though.

I have seen quite a few that are made in Germany......seem to be very well made knives.
It wouldn't surprise me if the Parkers had their hands in the mix some how.

ive been doing a lot of driving been on 127 through kentucky all the way down to georgia and ya ive had some pretty good luck at finding them this year i uasually save money all year then when the 127 yard sale comes around i go hunting i uasually get 3 or 4 a year but this year i have already got 6 and one more day left of the yard sale

Iron Hoarder thats a good looking bowie do you know the year of it

The only way to tell the age on most English knives is to find them in a dated catalog. I would guess the 1970's give or take 5 years one way or the other, for this one though.

Got this nice Case yesterday.

Todays find
Kutmaster stockman with bone handles and nickle silver liners. 3 7/8''

Love that kutmaster

Nice finds Fella's!!

edgy, is that a fly tying vise, or some sort of fancy roach clip?

Looks like everybody had some good finds today. Good luck tomorrow Big Daddy, wish I could be down there also. Saving my money for court days in Mt. Sterling Ky.

I got this Remington R7833 Jumbo Sleeveboard with two broken off blades on the 127 Yard Sale near Jamestown, TN. Also found a mint Schrade USA Uncle Henry LB5 and sheath.

Man, nice finds all around!

What's the deal on the 127 Yard Sale. No such thing here in my area.

Its on Highway 127....goes through a couple states. ..I have heard of it...but never been.

The 127 yard sale follows U.S Route 127 and the sales run from Michigan on down into Georgia or maybe Florida.

Picked up this set the other day.

This is every pattern made in the Case Classics in stag except the barn door hinge toothpick and it was never made in stag.

whoa sexton,
awesome set

I saw that thread so I looked it up. The 127 yard sale starts in Hudson, Michigan and ends in Gadsden, Alabama even though Highway US 127 officially ends in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
