Me thinks I see a Japan fixed blade in the bottom of the 5th photo.
I have one exactly like it somewhere around here...

You nailed it CxIII it is a Japan fixed blade Good eye! ...

That is a knife designed by Elmer Keith who was a gun writer. The knife was provided with a subscription to “Guns and Ammo” magazine. There were several variations and also variations in the sheath. Heavy duty knife. Good find for sure.

Thanks a lot R.K.J. Do you know what year abouts? I would guess the 60's or 70's ... ....Elmer Keith died in 1984 as I recall

German eye mini congress & Bulldog stockman. The pile side stamp on the bulldog is odd compared to all others I have and what I’ve seen. Has anyone with more knowledge seen one or know anything about it ? Normal fighting dog tang stamps on all 3 blades as well as the normal pit Bull etch like on a couple of my first gen’s.

Sweet!!! . I don't a lot about the history of the B.D.s but I love finding them and owning them. It seems like my older ones have dates stamped on the tang on at least one of the blades.

No dates on this one. All others I have say “ bulldog brand on same line. Then Solingen Germany. Just thought this pile stamp was odd. Was told it was a first gen but idk. I’m not up to par on bulldogs

Great news!

Stopped by the little flea market today found this big bugger at a price I couldn't turn down.

Looks like a Coral snake. "black touches yellow, kill a fellow". J.O'.

I like carrying that Texas Stockman pattern in a Buck 110 size pouch. Ridgegrass is correct. SMKW named that RR series Coral Snake.

A good find , 1 you don’t see to often. At least not in this area.

Great find there!

Been busy starting my new life at a new location lately

I like that knife, Dan! I like the size, too!
Nice collection there, Scott! Good luck in your new location.

Well.....not if you have two different accounts and other friends or kids. Ummm.... or so I've been told.

It's like a Pringle, who can have just one?

Excellent pickup TopDog! Many

Picked this one up today. A Camillus 72, Short Line tang stamp, Bone handle, Carpenters Whittler. It is a gen 1, where the pen blade is next to the main clip with the coping blade on the left side. Blades do have wear & stains, but are tight with good snap. The Camillus on the tang stamp of the main clip blade is worn, but you can see it and the short line is distinguishable. Bone handles still have good color. Proud to have another addition to my Gen 1 72's.
