Home from work now, a parcel arrived today so I did some therapeutic knife cleaning to unwind from my day.
This was one of two knives picked up together as a bundled deal. The other is not worth saving and is in the trash due to out gassing...but this one was well worth the rescue!
An early 40's Camillus Sword brand jack knife. It's got some blade loss as to be expected from a knife this old. But the look of the pocket worn bone scales is what got me

Nice Randall... I like it!!!

I agree with Frank. Good looking bone.

You guys.... If I had known these old knives would be collectibles one day I would have snatched up every one I saw at my grandfather’s old farm, my daddy’s house, the old mechanic’s shop, the airplane hangar, the old hardware store displays.... they were scattered all about - in drawers, tackleboxes, toolboxes, backside of old workbenches...gheesh.... had no clue. So many of these old knives look so familiar from those places and times... 😢

While I may not have a collectable knife, I do have one that would make someone them self. Frost Cutlery makes it and Walmart sells it.

I'm not a knife person per say....I have a few laying around 'I just recently bought a Gerber Strong-arm Fix Blade [Made in the USA] just to carry in the woods...
But i have one that I'm really fond of....
And it comes with a story...
Back in 1956 i save my nickels and dimes ....And that took quite a while to save enough, I can't remember what it cost but i'm thinking it was a lot , I ordered it from the Shooters Bible....And it like every thing orders back then took 6 or 8 weeks to get it..
Its a fixed blade 7 inch with bone handle , Made in Stoeger Germany ....
Model Stoeger Zephyr.....I carried it till 1965....Put it away for years, And 3 years age i was rummaging through the back of my gun safe next to my fathers old fishing/hunting knifes, And a ratter large switchblade knife?? i'm thinking he carried it just in case cause he would go fishing off of bridges at 3 am in Brooklyn/Queens alone...
But i digress , When i found it i showed it to my Grandson...And i said if you take care of it 'Its yours....And carries it in the woods like i did...That knife is 63 years old...And he did have to hand make a new leather sheath for it the original one was worn out.....
