The Schrade Walden 2OT had a clip main blade. Wouldn't it be a Schrade Walden 3OT that had the sheeps foot like main blade? The middle knife pictured looks like it's main blade was something besides a clip main.

Cool Gino, glad it showed today! Looks good on the wood.

PURDY!!..Gino.

Gino, is a bad day, when you only get 1 new knife??

Gino,
IIRC, the Hardhat knives are made by BEAR.

I just fought off a couple o' snipesters on ebay to get this one. I love the Fellow pattern.
Hope it looks as good in person...

2 beauties i really like the way the lockback matches your floor boards cool

Thanks Guys.
I knew that carpenter knife was a quality knife even though I had never heard of it. (thanks blue).
Brett, its a real problem for me, I am addicted more than ever. Coming home with only two knives is a bummer! LOL! (sad but true)

I tell ya Gino, you're lucky you've got a place you can go and buy some good deals.
Round here there's nothin cept the occasional Bill Goodman's, show once a month.

Perry, I do feel lucky. Pennsylvania is a great place to live if your into knives.

nice find, was it from a booty since ive just started collecting pocket knives i cant wait to get to my local booty soon

Yep, came from a boot sale. usually have better luck at antiques shows but they are all worth a try and going every week helps. looks to be loads of good prospects in Dorset, particularly antiques shows and shops. You're lucky it's outside my range or I would have been there hunting already.

What's a booty or boot sale? Couldn't find any definition online. Is it like a flea market?

Mike, I was wondering the same. Glad you asked. You know what a "booty" in Pa is dont you? LOL!

I think that in Great Britain, the "boot" of the car is what we call the trunk. So it would be a flea market to us.

New find. Keen kutter peanut.

Boot sale, Flea market, Swap meet all one and the same.
