7 Knives for 1 Low Price! I'm techno-challenged, so no pics. 
One good one; six not so good! All have been used, carried and sharpened.
The good one is a Buck 505. It's a 2 7/8" (closed) lockback. It's been lightly used, carried and sharpened. This one has no issues - it's a nice little knife.
The next 3 piss me off just to look at them, 'cause I screwed them up by fiddling with them. They're just a reminder of how bone-headed I can be at times - get 'em outa my sight!
1) Buck 503. It's a 3 3/8" lockback. Ground down the kick just a little too far, and now the blade very lightly touches the backspring when closed.
2) Buck Canoe. Hot Bubba Gum Pink! Edges are chipped on both blades. Don't ask, and I won't tell. Chipped 1/4 to 1/2 the way back to where the bevel starts. Probably an easy fix, if you're good at this kind of stuff.
3) Older Case Penknife. Yellow handles CV - 32087 cv. On the clip blade it has a long tail Case with xx on the tail, under that is USA, under that are 4 dots. Clip blade is in pretty good shape - a little pitting on both front & back. Rubs a little on the "pen" blade, too. The "issue" with this one is that I don't really care for pen blades, so I ground it down to be a sheepsfoot. Turned out to be a pretty small sheepsfoot blade.
Anyway, the last 3 are as follows:
1) Old Buck 301. Main clip blade snapped off 1/2" up from bolster - must have had the long nail nick, because I can see the start of it down near the shank of what's left of the blade. The sheepsfoot has the corner of the tip broken off. The spay blade is all there. 2 backsprings on the knife, and I can see the outline of the pins in the bolsters.
2) Colonial Barlow. 3 1/2" long closed. 2 blades, a clip and pen. It has "Colonial Prov USA" on the shank of the clip blade. Etching on that blade says "Scrimshaw Series". White plastic handles, and "Barlow" in script on the bolsters. This was a "freebie" from either a chemical or seed corn company.
3) Old Colonial. 3" long closed. Skinniest little thing I've ever seen. Clip & pen blades. Must have had some cheap scales on it at one time, but they're gone. What remains is just steel with the pins sticking out. Don't even know where this one came from - may have found it on an old farmstead at one time.
These last 3 probably aren't worth much, although the Barlow could still be used - blades are tight when opened and doesn't look like it's ever been sharpened.
The middle 3 may have some value, depending ..........
The Buck 505 will make someone a nice little knife.
$45.00 for all seven. Paypal, please.
Thanks for looking.
