💥Blast from the Past💥 (unofficial nostalgic older knife thread)

I’d forgotten about this one, used as a beater many years ago, musta been early ‘80s. Actually, seems a well made little knife.

Haha! You've reminded me of a beater knife I carried around the same timeframe. I liked it so much, I bought a plain edged backup.

Just arrived. An EB find to add to my vintage Spyderco collection.

It's the SuperHawk (C116CFP) with a 3.5" VG10 plain hawkbill blade, compression lock & peel-ply CF scales (Vintage 2008-2009).

A rare Spyderco one-off. No other variations of this model were made but there is another SuperHawk model line (C77) that also exists:

Nice find! I dig it!
 
A Schrade USA Sharpfinger I bought in the mid 90's, depressingly I guess that now counts as vintage. It was all I used for camping and hunting until about 2007 IIRC, I later brought it out of retirement when I spent a few seasons partnered on a trap line. Great blade for making fur. The big one is a Western Boulder Co F-39 that belonged to my Grandfather. According to Google the markings indicate it was made in the early- mid 50's. Its got too much sentimental value to be a user but I felt compelled to fillet a few fish, and dress/ skinned a couple deer with it. Pretty good general use outdoor knife.

An interesting story about the Sharpfinger. For a long time I kept it in my truck, one night my dog woke me up and a glance out the window showed the interior light on in my truck. Without thinking I dashed out to confront the perp, unarmed and in my underwear. Realising too late that if he wasnt armed to begin with, he probably had the knife from my truck I ran him off by acting super aggressive whilst keeping the truck between us, good thing because when I checked the knife was gone. Later that night he used it to cut through the soft top on a Jeep that happened to belong to the co-worker of a neighbour, who was smart enough to grab a baseball bat and managed to keep the thief cornered inside the Jeep untill the cops showed up. I asked about the knife, though given the damage it had been used to inflict on his vehicle I would have totally understood if he'd wanted to keep it, but he found it inside the Jeep and graciously returned it to me.
