JACKNIFEBEN,
I can't help with any information on your beautiful knife but I would say it is a ....beautiful knife.

I bought this smart little (2 7/8") U.S.A. Boker the other day on the bay.
I payed a whopping $12. 50 for this knife. That includes shipping. I don't know what the bidders were afraid of.
Nickel silver pins, brass liners. lined bolsters and cracked ice celluloid covers.
Very tight little knife. Love the dog legs.

Awesome knives, everyone. Gino, I really like that elk. ::tu::

Here's one I came across today and just had to have it. It's made by William Elliot & Co. It's in rough shape and I paid more than I should have for it, but I just loved the bolsters and the look of the knife (kind of reminds me of a mushroom or a baseball bat depending on how you view it). I'm thinking about finding a knife maker who can copy the frame to make me an EDC. :)

Here are this weekend's finds:
The first one has blades similar to the small metal handled manicure knives;a master blade;a cap lifter/screwdriver;and a file/nail cleaner.The end has a rather powerful(10X at least)magnifier that folds out.The handles are a pot metal casting with advertising(so far no info on the company).There is also a special screw in the end that has no apparent function.Price:$2.50.
Next is a Wenger SAK with clear scales and advertising acompany called Rothrist.Never sharpened as most SAKs I find.Price: $3.00
Third is a Hammer Brand switchblade.Nice full blade but some pitting and a lot of blade wobble.Early style with the two thin back springs as opposed to a single wide one.Price:$4.00.
Fourth is the smallest pair of multipliers I have ever seen;about 2 3/4" long. Probably Chinese but unusual.Price:$1.00
Fifth is a Gerber I'm not familiar with but it is in great shape.Price:$5.00.

EDIT:Pictures are out of sequence due to unforseen computer gremlins.

Thanks, Johnnie. You're right. It does look like a pestle to me now that you pointed it out. :)

I didn't find it, my Dad did.

It is a Tramontia Machete of 22 3/4" overall with about 16" of cutting area.

It's pretty dang rusty right now. But nothing that won't keep it from being useful again!

GD - nice knives, and that Buck is pristine, you need to post it down below in the Buck section.

Found this one yesterday while cleaning out my storage shed. I expected to find a few more but no luck. I think I looked through everything. I killed a lot of ants and roaches and now I can see the floor so at least I want step on a snake.

The knife has USA on the blade but no other marks. Plastic handles and cheap bolsters (covers). Looks like Imperial but no marks. it's 3 inches closed and 5 and 3/8 inches open. OK snap but alignment is poor and both blades have some wobble. I believe it will tighten and clean up OK.

Chief, that knife looks very similar to a 1960's era Providence Cutlery Co. knife I own.
