Here's my latest, so when I picked up the Bucks there was this one in the case that caught my eye. It looked unused but I wasn't familiar with the brand. Had the script writing so I figured it was a Buck knock off... He was asking $50 so no thanks...

Went back today and offered the guy $30 ...and it came home with me.

On a side note I've got a couple more vintage knives coming in from the evil Ebay sight.

That's it...no more ...I've got plenty of pretty knives now

My late husband often said that, by the time his birthday, our anniversary or Christmas rolled around he would snap out of it.

I went over today to check out my friends husbands knife collection. It was NOT a wasted trip.

These were the ones I didn't buy. I came home with 11 including the Camillus 100th Anniversary ones and the Buck 500 with the stag handle. I'll post them when I get some good pix.

That looks like a very expensive collection.

My guess is probably $6-7 thousand if she can get true value for them. Her husband had a log book of purchase dates and $ amounts, starting back in 1982. She is moving and is thinking of having an Estate Sale company take the whole lot. I'm glad I had a chance to pick through them first. I have $12 left in my checking account until April. (not our budget acct.)

Wow! ...

Nice that you had a chance to pick up a few of them Bill. Has she thought about listing them? Or is it too much of a hassle

I asked her about Ebay, but it is too intense and time consuming for her. She had a hard time sending me the pictures via email. She doesn't know knives. I helped her identify on the list, the ones I got.

[BillR]

Here are the knives I got from the collection. 2 Bucks, 2 Case, 4 Camillus, 1 Browning, 1 Marble's and an Italian stiletto. She was going to give me the display case, but I gave her an extra $25 for it.



In honor of St. Patrick's Day, here is a closeup of the Case green bone.

Nice haul, Bill!

And that green bone handle Case is beautiful!

I tried to carry a Kershaw knife similar to that one and the second day, somehow, it came open on me. I was working picking up all kinds of stuff and I'm sure something brushed up against it, but in my pocket I had no idea it would take such little effort to get it to open. When I wanted it open out of my pocket I had trouble fumbling around to get it in the correct position to flick the lever. So I was totally surprised when I felt something pointy partially out of my jeans pocket. So no more knives like that for carry for me without a sheath.

You did good Bill... some very nice pieces you've added to your collection!

Here's my Pop's old Schrade + LB8 "Papa Bear" before and after cleaning. I now have something he owned to put in my collection.

Looks good Randall.

[BillR]

Randall, that's a special piece for sure. Any idea how old it is? It took years for it to turn green from contact with the sheath.

[ol' school]

Nice Randall! A special one for sure!!!

[Philip R]

A good one. Congrats on the find.

[1dn5up]

Always nice to have some trinket from our parents I would use it as my every dayer, and every time it was used a smile would appear.

Like going to the ice cream store.

[Gone2Three]

Thanks guys, this one is special indeed! Something from him that he used while I was in my younger days ...

Sent him the pictures and he was surprised on how good it looked.

Said he brought early 80's not exactly sure..from Crites lock smith on main st. San Antonio Texas for around 32 dollars

He pulled it out of his old tool bag, last time it was carried was before he retired
