Picked this 1 up today. Anyone know anything about them ? Red Stag Germany. Has Goodwin Chattanooga on back of master blade. First edition and a stag head on front of master. Seems to be well made but I’m lost on info. Who makes them ? Any value ? Hopefully someone can help. Thanks

From an estate auction for $70, 3 pocket knives and a Finnish fixed blade. The Case is a lightly used Shark lock back, the Camillus lock back is near mint, the German burl wood trapper is marked FH or maybe HF inside a circle and stamped Solingen Germany Stainless on the reverse tang. The Finnish hunting knife is near mint and lightly sharpened. The line mans pliers are Diamond tool from Duluth, mn. which are really collectable in our area.____Dave

,,, I stop by a yard sale on the way out to go quail hunting this morning and came up with these from a nice old Vietnam veteran, looking to sell his house and move to a cooler climate.

Picked this up at a local estate sale/auction. This makes the second Boker Camp (model 182) knife I acquired this month.
I believe this picture knife is a pre-WWII model based on the tang stamp and the large shield , not the smaller shield found on later models.

Great finds and a bargain!

I've bought about a half dozen Diamond Tool & Horse Shoe hand tools, adjustable wrenches and 16 inch channel lock pliers. Buying tools made by an old U.S. company warms my heart. I imagine they are considered very desirable near the factory that made them. It's too bad Camillus gave up their ghost. I like their knives too.

I bought one of those Japanese Buck 119ish fixed blades from a pawn shop for less than its sheath is worth to me. I like Buck's discontinued full flap sheaths. Unfortunately its blade steel is too soft. I'm not a super dupper hard stainless alloy snob. I'm happy with U. S. made Camillus, other similar standard U.S. knives and even Rough Ryder's 440A. Despite what's etched on it the Jap knife is too soft for me. Fortunately I like the sheath.

Cute little white SAK lobster knife. I like that one.

Victorinox?

We can never see too much stag! Great Trapper.

While our collectors of pre-1980 Cases won't admit to lusting after its bright blue color the Tiny Trapper gets another

.

Thank you , the stag is one of my favorites in the collection. Had no idea how tiny a tiny trapper actually is till I picked this one up .

I do not know about Case's early decades but their Tiny Trapper has the shortest closed lenght of all the Cases I'm aware of. A single blade version would be a good choice for someone who does not want a lump in their thin suit. There was a 5 blade version, the Tiny Beast. I think it was an odd ball designed to stimulate collector sales.

Yes I think you are right. If you google smallest case xx ever made the tiny trapper is what comes up. I always thought a peanut or a 33 pattern would be the smallest but they are monsters compared to this lol. 2 3/8 closed lengths. Hope you got extra room in the pocket if u decide to carry one

It is a Victorinox MSJ, good eye

Interesting to hear about your experience with the same knife. I have not done any cutting with it yet, so thanks for the heads up

. When I saw the "Japan" stamp I immediately thought of great steel... I guess I need to take it out camping

and find out what it can do.

I found this Victorinox-Elinox Alox Voyageur recently. With a little research, I found out it’s a bit uncommon!

I have the same fixed blade knife that you show there. I got it from my dad about 1974ish. I told him that I wanted a Buck hunting knife. He had a Buck 118 and absolutely hated it. He gave me the Japanese knife instead. It was and still is one of my favorite knives. It has dressed many a deer and cleaned hundreds of fish. The snap rusted off due to salt water exposure and I quit carrying it until recently when I had the snaps replaced.
The knife is almost identical in size and shape of a Buck 101 (or a 110). The steel holds an edge very well and I keep it vey sharp. I think you will find it it to be a very handy knife.
I believe that it came from one of the big box stores of that time frame. That would be K-Mart, Sears, or Montgomery Wards in my area. Dad can't remember where he got it.
On a side note, I found my dad's Buck 118. It looked like it had been sharpened on a trust mill stone and was in rough shape. I sent it to Buck for a spa treatment. It came back absolutely gorgeous. Dad said it wasn't that sharp when it was new.
I believe this is my first post and I hope it goes through ok.
Enjoy that knife!

Can anyone date this German Boker from the tang stamp ? The shield is a replacement so it’s probably not excact as it was put in by me from a parts knife I had. Thanks.

Very nice knife. Appears they have used that stamp from the 60's until now..

I see what you mean, it actually looks like the one to the left that has Germany-Alemania at he the bottom that says it's used on reproduction knives also. The tree has fewer limbs like your knife. Just looking at that knife, it reminds me of some I've seen from the late 80's and 90's.

Yes the tree is kinda different also. But it’s like that on all the tortoise shell handle ones I seen. Thank you for your help.
