All About Pocket Knives

Sweet finds!

Good one, I like the center bolster (not sure if thats the right term).

I believe those are called cigar bands.

it is a hunk of a knife...even with worn blades.
it was at the bottom of a box of junk knives...almost knocked the guy down trying to give him five bucks...'here take it quick before ya change your mind'.

Great finds Gringo

JR I think your right calling it a Cigar band

Marty

i need a few more days of finding knives like that to keep me happy...

Great finds guys. Tomorrow is playday for me. First to Schomy's show, then on to the flea markets in and around Dayton, Oh. With any luck I will have something to post late in the day.

Bill, Do you ever go to rogers flea market?

Gino
Never heard of it. Where is it?

It is supposed to be in Rogers Ohio - somewhere in eastern Ohio. It is only on Fridays and is supposed to be so big you cant make it thru in one day. I have never been there but have talked to a few people that have.

Gino
I live 60 or 70 miles west of Columbus Oh. Eastern Oh. is way out of my range. I am 25 miles ENE of Dayton, plus Friday is a workday for me. Just googled Rogers, Oh. It is about 40 miles due east of Canton, A dot on the map.

Rogers is one of Bret & my favorite places to go! It is huge & its a struggle to get through if I take my kids with us. I also like Hazen, which is in Brookville, PA area. It's not as big as Rogers, but I have found a few great knives there.

Hazen is where I found this for sale. It was laying in the back of a pickup.

Sweet knife Kathy. I will get to Rogers one of these times.

Thanks! I am sure you will like Rogers. I have a good friend that is a dealer/collector. He actually leaves at 4 o'clock in the morning to get to Rogers on Fridays. He is under the impression that you find all the best knives with a flashlight at the fleamarket before dawn. He is most likely right, but I am not that early of a riser!

Your friend is smart KG_____with all the TV shows,& books ect,____the best finds are,with a flashlight !!!!!!! When,I use to sell,at the markets,I have bought entire pick-up loads,of goodies,when someone,backed up to a table---then sold it all,before going home___I made a few bux,and the seller,never paid,table fees ________not many days like,that,anymore ??? everyone knows,what they have,before they get there

Knifegirl, that's a beauty for sure! Great find.

Today was playday and boy did I play
Traded two old twist ring knives for a Schrade Walden cattle knife and bought a Schrade Cut whittler, both at Schomy's show. The weather was fine and there were lots of buyers and sellers. Found another twist ring at a good price at a flea market. Life is good! These old twisters although not common are not rare in this area.

Nice finds Bill. I like that whittler. NICE!!!!

Thanks Gino.

the whittler is fantastic.

Thanks Gringo.

I made a run through Gander Mountain today. Found this trapper on clearance for $30. I picked up a Buck 110 on sale also to replace the one that I gave my youngest son. The picture came from one of the on line stores. The other side is smooth red bone with a Stars and Stripes logo.

Nice score !! And nice pic of you with your youngest in a diff thread here.
You must be real proud, sounds like you worked some cool projects of your own.

Nice price on that trapper. How much was the 110? I was just there last week and they had them in two different areas for two different prices

I am pretty proud of that one. He made E5 in the 6 years he was in. If you are interested in more photos of my boat ride, click on the picturetrail link at the bottom of the post.

I got the 110 Buck for $30 also. It was the last one or I would have probably bought more.
