Flea finds from today
The sheaths are sheath only no knife.
The Colonial is mechanically sound but ugly as can be.
The blue is a China made Maxam, cheap stash knife.
The all metal is a Kutmaster.
Sabre could use some tlc but I've not seen one that small.
Had to get the RR's because I like tiny knives.

Received this 1 today from the bay. It’s a factory reject/ case second lunchbox knife. I cannot tell what caused it to be rejected and was curious if anyone may know. All blades open and snap as they should. Handles seem fine to me. Only thing I see different than all 1980s ones I glanced at online is none had the pin holes in the shield. Is that the reason ? None the less a good piece for the collection.

Here are two I recently picked up. The bone with the steel bolsters and broken pen blade is a Continental and the wood lock back is a Chicago Cut L33.____Dave

Picked up today at the local hardware store. Was shocked to see a 2013 tony Bose still in the display case. At 2013 retail price. Feel like it was a score ? Back pocket case xx Harley Davidson.

The only other way I could see a deal that good happening again would involve the use of a

From a gun/knife show yesterday, two Westerns (a 532 mint and a 534 lightly used), a Challenge hawkbill, An Ulster Knife co. (pre 1940), a mint Queen kids fixed blade in sheath, and a pre 1940 Simmons Hdwe co. stockman with pitted but mostly full blades and great snap.____Dave

That was quite the haul Dave
The reminiscing was probably equivalent to the knice haul of knives. Good to hear it was good all around.

The two Westerns alone would have made an outstanding day for me

A recent antique mall haul. I paid more than I usually like to for these, but the quality on these is also superior to what I'm usually scraping out of bargain bins.
The red glitter cell utica has a blade etch, as does the true value brand Imperial electricians knife.
The Case is a 62031 LHR, nice shape. The ring turn is in great shape. The 23 and the letter opener are the only ones requiring any cleaning or work. The Kutmaster is a known quantity but in good shape. The little Parker is too small to be practical, but I have another with wood so I had to get this one with bone, and it has some local advertising etched on the blade. The Camillus Forever Free stockman is a show stopper, but my favorite is the mini fixed blade with stag handle and leather scabbard

Zach, you picked up some really nice knives there ! That fixed blade with sheath is interesting.
Let me know if you’re going to put any in your store ,would be interested in the Camillus “ forever free “ knife.

the mini fixed blade with stag handle and leather scabbard looks like a Linder Knives fixed blade, Made in Solingen, Germany. I bought one in Vienna Austria several years ago.

Odd ball find today. Fighting rooster 3 blade. Handles are nothing like I’ve seen previously or any could find online. Has a metal toothpick and tweezers on the end of handles. O bolsters. Could have been a rehandle but I don’t know for sure. Was done very well if so. Anyone know any information or seen one like it before ?

That's pretty cool!
Kinda reminds me of the birdeye knives, no bolster but a larger pin or rivet head. Since it has the extra tools in the handles it's probably not a rehandle.

It put me in mind of a birdseye also. Just never seen a fighting rooster that wasn’t some crazy color or stag handle. Hoping someone may know some good info on it. Thank you !!
