You have been really scoring at the flea markets lately, Scott, today included!
Might I ask if the long slim knife on the far-right has any markings saying "Pardue" or "Mel Pardue"? Cuz if it does, you might have a valuable knife there. It's been known to happen; someone pawns or gives away something valuable not knowing it was valuable. Of course it isn't the norm, but you never know. Pardue knives sell for $500.-the sky's the limit! Thx!

Thank you!!! No sir, no markings....just reads : fighter

Oh darn!!! Close but no cigar! If it was made by Mel Pardue it very likely would have clear distinct markings. Reading "Fighter" it's probably a Fury product, not junk but not high-end either. Well, at the very least you end-up with a really cool knife! Thanks for your reply!

Interesting M&M ... because -40 F is also 233.15 Kelvin, eh?

Ah ha! Seeing as I have no idea what exactly 233.15 Kelvin is you can see my mistake, so, what exactly is 233.15 Kelvin, Dog, eh?

Zero degrees Kelvin is known as "absolute zero", the point where atoms cease to vibrate, and presumable cease to exist. Or something like that. I did not Google it, this is my poor memory trying to dredge up facts from High School.
Anyway, Kelvin measures temperature from that point. There are no negative degrees Kelvin.

Much thanks, Rev, I'd not heard the term before. I'd go with your High School dredged memories over Google all day long and longer on Sundays, and seeing that it's Sunday you can expect to be listened to longer, by me anyway!

WOW Tony, what Flea Market do you go to??? Those knives ALL look to be brand new!!! You just got a ready-made knife collection scoring that group, my friend!
NICE catch, buddy!

Much thanks Mark! Bought all these but one at the same table, but only a few keepers for me. The 119 looking one is a clone. The Smith Wesson has a lot of blade sharpened away, but still a decent user. The Sharp filet knife is a good one to use, just needs sharpening.

Keeping these for now(always changing):
- Browning Japan Folder in back
- Marbles Tundra Ulu
- Taylor Taiwan Tanto ... until I run across a Taylor/Seto MCR-11
- Puma SGB Sharpfinger
- I have plans to rehandle the Wilderness knife in something other that the plastic it has.

Great choices, Tony, and they include a couple I'd have chosen as well. Definitely the Browning sidewinder at the top, the bowie at the bottom of the same row with the black gunstock handle, and the Wilderness folder with stag/spear-point, except for the saw and plastic handles.
Very nice pick-ups, my man!

I reckon' 233.15 Kelvin, would be -40 C M&M .... at least at that temperature some of your atoms might could be still moving... ....

Thanks fellas!!

I was out having breakfast with my sister on Sunday, and on the way back, we hit a small flea market. I found this old gal. She's kinda beat up and used, but has great stag and is a survivor. I. Oxley - Liverpool.
