I scrolled up and down a dozen times looking for Bill's post that you referenced before realizing you didn't reference a post and that his name is actually on the blade

I reckon that Bill DeShivs shiv probably isn't cheap

You score big with those two. The DeShive knife if a FIND!

It seems to be a real solid knife, fires hard locks up tight with no wiggle, but I wonder it ever saw Italy.

The finds today. 2005 boysenberry large congress 6488 & what I’m about 99% sure is a counterfeit case tested stag jack knife ?. Still nice stag lol.

Knice knives Dansword, I'm thinking same as you on the fake part although I'm by no means a expert, we have some Case knife aficionados and experts that can tell. I don't see but 2 blades on it and they are swinging from the same end so I'll think of it as a jack.

Yes it is just 2 blades & I’m thinking a jack knife also.

Found this one in a pawn shop..... looks like real bone to me .....

Thanks B.H. I was pretty happy to find it, after a bit of a dry spell, searching and coming up with a bunch of nothing lately .....

The knife you are referring to J.P., to the best of my knowledge is not recognized by Bill in any way shape or form as one he had anything to do with, which leaves it with Chinese origins due to it's lack of genuine stamps/etches/etc. I got my copy some 3 years ago from an overseas site, and it's proven to be a solid and reliable pocket auto, all for the low price of CDN $25. Mine arrived with false etching regarding the maker and designer, or, the same false etches as the copy in the O.P. . I've also seen them with "Colt II" false etching, unless of course they are made by Colt and I wasn't aware of it, or even better by "AKC World" with the dot in the "A's" frame, making it Taiwanese.
It's a fun little knife to play with, all the while waiting to be put to work slicing open Amazon boxes that I would rank in with similarly priced Rough Rider manuals.

Exactly my thoughts fine little knife but I didn't think for a minute that Deshivs had anything to do with it at the price I paid.

Some of these claims are unfounded, but you can't beat free.

Antique store buddy of mine gifted me this Chas. K. Randall 2-7/8" Sheepsfoot today. Houston Price says Germany but he also says "Chas. "R". Randall. The fact that it has iron, integral, fluted bolsters at one end and nickel bolsters at the other end just says "British" to me. If anyone has an opinion I'd like to hear it. It's definitely pre-tariff. Cool old knife. J.O'.

Better shot of the integrals. O'.

The find at the local flea market today. Slim picking but did score this rare jewel Rare around here anyhow. Case xx Texas lock horn

Nice finds!

Dan, That LockHorn is a beauty. I had two of them and let them go. Always been sorry. J.O'.

For a nice distraction from a couple tough weeks, I hit an antique show and found these. A Western, Boulder L28, a Western States (arched stamp) bone little double end pen, a German muskrat in nice dark bone and an unsharpened 4 line Camillus Sword Brand, near perfect condition.____Dave

Great finds , love the bone on that Camillus.

Very nice haul there Dave! That Camillus sure is nice, don’t find them in that condition and pattern very often.
Looks like it was worth the drive this morning. Enjoy them my friend.

Dave ,does that Camillus have a 4 digit number on the pile side of the main? If so it would be a very early 4 line if
I remember correctly.
