Way to go Jim! Looking forward to seeing those....
That's how Michele shops for other people...usually, almost always squeezes in something for herself :laugh:
I've been working on a rescue from the bay, I picked up for 16 bucks. Seller couldn't tell me much other than it was old. Needed some tlc, but I'm very happy with the results.

Royal Brand was in business between 1914 until 1954, was told that this dated most likely in the earlier years
Before I put this MAC fix blade with right handed sheath on Craig’s List , I’m offering it here for $75 plus shipping. 1960’s - 1970 , it was in production. Like new wood handle and clean blade.
5 7/16” blade , 10 1/8 overall length. MAC knives are high carbon steel , made in Japan.

That's a nice one Frank, I'm sure you'll find a home for it soon. I haven't expanded my fixed blade count since the last post. But my folders continue to multiply pretty quick :laugh:
I hadn't posted anything here in awhile so let's change that!
Picked up a couple of Ulster Knife Co. bone handled knives for a combined cost of 40 bucks shipped.
The 2 blade was in very rough shape, the 3 blade was only in need of a light cleaning and oil.
Here's the before of the bowtie or propeller shield knife, followed by the clean up of them both side by side. Other than some pitting on the topside (exposed) of both blades it is remarkably solid.
And the 3 blade peachseed bone is a great example, with minimal blade loss and pocket worn scales (Cool)
I'm happy to show it off here to y'all...

Thanks for sharing Randall!
May Tony Bose RIP!
I go to Habitat for Humanity Restore every time I'm in the area. Found this as the employee was looking for a space on the shelf to display it. I told him he found a place for it and took it from him. Can't beat the price. It's for a Buck 110. I have a couple that need cases.
