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

[Sharp & Fiery]

I work a shift at our church thrift sale each year. I found this little guy in the box o'knives, which generally are cheap junk.

I was surprised and happy to find this Blackie Collins Tri-Fold in the box. Made br Case in 1984 based on the second decade dot-era stamp.

This is a cool little knife that operates smoothly, albeit not one handed for me anyway, and it locks up solid.

Love this little guy…mine moved on to WValtakis if I remember correctly.

Used to own that top one! Also moved to a loving home of another BF member.

Haven't had these out in a while. The edge on the Benchmade needs some work...

Not a knife, but I snagged these from Granny's kitchen when she moved into the nursing home. They work great and I get a lot of enjoyment out of using one of Granny's tools.

Two just like this traveled everywhere with me back in my “wayward youth” high school days…yes I’m old!

It took me years to find replacements since the originals were either confiscated or traded off…

Cool thread by the way!

I'll bet one of you can tell me what the 1121k is. Blade steel?

Those are no doubt a great pair of kitchen shears. The family heirloom appeal applies.

A blast from the past? I don’t think we’ve had a Barlow in this thread yet. Here are two Camillus-made Barlows. My grandfather’s Camco, and a SMKW-exclusive Buck. The Camco is the thinnest Barlow I’ve seen. It rides great in the pocket.
