i got home this evening too late to go for my evening bow hunt and too late i thought to get the best of saturday night ebay. however i did a quick general knife search and within 30 minutes had bought 6 knives ! all at v. low prices. 4 may be of interest here.
1) Schrade Walden/ NY U.S.A. 778 Stainless with a circular shield "U.S. STEEL" for $1.99 (close to mint). i really like gentleman folders and have a few (Remington UMC 7385; Schrade/CUT. CO./WALDEN N.Y. 4 blades, 2 1/4 in. ivory ?; C BERTRAM/GERMANY (Hen & Rooster); 2 Browning/Germany (identical to C BERTRAM knife); and others)
2) Craftsman USA 95075 "Old Crafty", a 4 in. lockback (Schrade i think ?) lightly used VG $6.95
3)Schrade+/U.S.A. LTD wood handled stockman. looks like an 8OT, but don't know closed length. seller says it is '70s, VG+ $7.45
4)Craftsman 65th anniversary knife; o.k. it's Camillus/NEW YORK USA; serial? # 0155, LB7 sized lockback with bone handles and circular shield with a 10 x 3 inch walnut case, mint $21.51
i just had to share all that; a lotta fun and, i think, really good knives, not rare but not too common.
and tomorrow is ---- sunday night ebay ! (after hunting) roland
