Tim -- I Googled "Facebook swap shop" and the first hit I got was for "Jet washing service". I don't think that's something I'd be interested in.

Have to agree with Mr. Jerry about the facebook. I'll look over the Wife's shoulder every now and then, but that's it.

I've wanted to add a Case Copperhead jack knife to my collection, came across this 1986 Fire Fighters Commemorative today and bought it. It has a little bit of spotting on the blade and bolster - even though it is NIB I might just carry this one - it snaps like a gator. I'm not a Fire Fighter, but briefly wanted to be one when I was in Kindergarten, so perhaps it will be okay for me to own it!

Just picked this up the other day, I couldn't resist for $2.This J.A. HENCKELS SOLINGEN is still factory sharp. Any one know anything about the character that makes up the shield?

Very nice and unique...

...a Templar Knight is the first thing that I thought of....looks as if He has a chalice in his left hand.

But I'm not sure...the Knights Templar had red crosses..

Maybe a Saint...

Beechtree · Post by **Beechtree** » Sun Sep 16, 2012 6:59 pm

jonnhierotten, that is an interesting idea about it being a saint. It appears to be a cup or maybe a scroll in its hand.

johnnierotten · Post by **johnnierotten** » Sun Sep 16, 2012 7:14 pm

I'm sure someone will come around and tell us exactly what it is....we have some very knowledgable members here.

OH;Thats one snazzy copperhead,I had a good day at the flea's two Imperials one fish tail and a hatchet/bottle opener then a hammerbrand switch-blade al with ice scales

Dogg, those look like they should be a set - nice matching handles! I saw a 3-1/2" Hammer Brand equal end jackknife with the same shell handles this past Friday at an Antique Mall in VA, but I didn't buy it (in fact I didn't buy any knife!!). Beachtree, I don't think that is a Templar design on your knife, but I have no idea what it is.

Thanx Mr Rotten

Yea thats the first one for me,pretty cool

and the way she matches the fish-tail.

Beechtree · Post by **Beechtree** » Mon Sep 17, 2012 12:41 am

Nice find garddogg56, a cool set to pick up!

And I agree Old Hunter, not a templar, but a mystery instead.

Sure put you in mind of a Crusader. I would guess Templar also.

Sure can Johnnie, but the slippers changed my mind

Beechtree: I believe the figure on your knife is St. Boniface the patron saint of Germany. The peaked cap belongs to a bishop, as was Boniface. He was the first bishop of Mainz. The red halo around the head indicates a martyr. Boniface was killed along with some 50 other missionaries.

I feel very confident on this, but of course cannot be absolutely certain. The clothing is definitely not that of a crusader or other military type. Hope this helps.

These two arrived today. A Keen Kutter folding hunter and a Berkshire Cutlery Co easy open. Got them from Jarod at AAA Vintage Knives here on AAPK. Goins says Berkshire Cutlery Co USA was a stamp used by Simmons Hardware c. 1939.
