KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY

[tongueriver]

Great knives! I like Queen and I like bone. Here is a strange one, some sort of natural abalone product that is embedded in clear acrylic in this pattern #73 knockoff of a Remington bullet trapper, by Great Eastern Cutlery. Half stops. 3.75 inches. My scanner doesn't do "shiny".

[johnnierotten]

Isn't it called looking glass abalone?.........I think someone told me it was abalone with clear acrylic on bottom and top....or something like that.
Makes it more durable.
Sure is purdy!!

[tongueriver]

Yes, Johnnie, that is indeed what they call it. It's flashy and unusual but I still like Rodgers bone better!

[peshikthe]

love that abalone, very nice.

[johnnierotten]

Yep....its hard to beat rodgers bone.........I also like that old time peach seed bone also.

[gino]

I had to take the pic inside with no natural light so sorry for the bad pic. (not that any of my pics are good) LOL!

[edgy46]

Nice one Gino. I like the shape. Reminds me of the Kinfolks folding hunters.

[gino]

Thanks Bill, its a big boy. About the size of a Buck 110. The pics dont do it justice, the bone is outstanding.

Gino
Surprised Ken hasen't spotted the YELLOW knife

[gino]

Bill, LOL! I dont really even like yellow (remington) knives. I only own a few. I bought this as part of a double buy.

This 34 OT came from the same estate sale of which I had scored on a LB3 on Friday. I picked this one up on Saturday after he came down on his prices. The knife came with box and papers. It appeared to me that the previous owner had bought this , then I believe he put it in a dresser drawer in the man's cave and forgot about it. All three blades had a small amount of surface rust on them. Other wise it was as new in the box. Some Q-Tips, wedonol polish, and a little work cleaned them up. This is the best Schrade I own. Dale

Nice find Dale! I they mean more to you if you give them a little elbow grease.

[chetr1200c]

nice boker there gino,, looks like it was made in the year 2020.. are you going to the lewisburg show?

[superdavemack]

I have one of those Camillus electricians knives and what a solid knife,maybe not rare but great tool... the spring is so strong and the nail pull so close to the center on the screw driver blade it's about all I can do to open it....almost a design flaw in my opinion?

[Aimus Moses]

superdave, are the handles on your Camillus made of some kind of wood? Wooden handles would be a nice little kicker for it, as apposed to delrin. I love a knife to have good strong blade spring, like you said yours does. The stronger they are, the better I like them. I carried a wooden handled Camillus TL-29 for a few years. Never had a complaint about the knife in anyway. Those are a handy knife for sure.

As an aside; Gino, does the Camillus made Remington yellow delrin handled RY4 U.S.A. lockback knife have 420HC stainless steel blades, or could it possibly be marked on it's box as to what type of blade steel the knife has? It kinda reminds me of the Camillus made Yellow Jaket series of knives that Camillus made for a short time. That LB-7 and the Remington lockback was a nice catch. Congrats. Would you take a feller with you to where ever you go shopping at and finding these knives? I know.......it's a secret and if you told me or took me with you, you'd have to kill me so it couldn't be told where your finding them.

Dave....I know what ya mean.I have a Case that is exactly like that.

Gino..A friend of mine had a Remington lockback like yours . It had center pin cracks on both sides....He rehandled her in some kind of bone and did some fantastic filework to it....It really turned out sweet.Next time that I go over to his house I'll have to get a pic of it for ya.

[268bull]

Thanks Gino! It's the cleanest of all the schrade's I own. That's a fine looking Boker your showin'! Dale

[gino]

Thanks Dale , that Boker is a fav of mine!

Gander Mountain has a clearance sale on their Case knives. I ended up with a copperhead 6.52109x, a small stockman 6.5327 and a tiny trapper 6.52164. All were $29.95. There were more, but I ran out of cash.

[johnnierotten]

Well I sure wished I lived close to Gander Mountain!!
