I have always remembered grandpa's knives. As it turns out, Grandma had them all along. And the original box for the Stockman as well. They are mine now.

It cost $15.00 brand new from Smoke N' Gun.

Best regards,

How wonderful! Thanks for the pictures.

Haha. Too funny Sarah. If I recall it was lost in the spare tire pile the nextdoor neighbor owned. I would be truely suprised to see that thing again.

Oddly enough, that Buck stockman seems to be the one I recall while chaneling with the Play doh model.
 
you have won the lottery there Ron.What a good feeling that would be.
 
That's great!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbup::thumbup: What a wonderful surprise!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
That's great that you are able to retain something like that. I know I treasure mine!
 
Those would be "nice" if they had not belonged to your grandfather. Those are priceless.
Is that a camilus electrician? I just gave mine to my sister at Christmas.

I hope your heirloom brings you as much enjoyment and reconnection to your Grandfather as mine has.

Thank heavens yours isn't like my Nana was. She basically got rid of everything on some sort of final clearance "before I go" activity. A couple of pieces of English Oak furniture were sold for a pittance to an antique dealer that she foolishly invited round to "value" her stuff. She assumed rather petulantly that neither my sister nor myself would "want that old rubbish". It gets better.She sold off a chest of drawers to her neighbours daughter for 20$. The daughter -blessings be upon her-contacted my mum concerned that she had found some 14,000$ cash hidden under the sheets of newspaper that lined the drawers!!
It is sad that someone who led such a hard life and to whom thriftiness was so important -towards the end lost all reasoning when it came to the value of things V money.
Sorry to ramble but it just made me think of her and how much I miss them. Keeping in touch is important for the oldies.
 
That's great Ron, now you can post in the, "...let's see your grandfather's knife." Thread. :)
