A couple of new old ones

[screened porch]

Went up to Grand Rapids and found a new antique store. The few pocket knives were $10 each. There were a few Imperials and a couple of Colonials, but I got this Queen queensteel peanut and what I think is a Japanese emulation of the sort of German knives that Eisener started out emulating with the SAK.
I almost didn't get the Japanese knife, but I'm glad I did. We found two or three of these in Grandpa's house eons ago, and probably traded them away. It's really nice to have one of the silly little things in hand again.

Nice peanut! What are the covers on the Japanese knife?

That's cool... both, I mean! The Japanese one is interesting, indeed

Very nice score, especially for only $20. Congrats!

Thanks, guys-
Odog27, I think they're bone.

They are bone,Me and Dad used one like that when we went groundhog hunting.

I too bought one for sentimental reasons.

That's my only 3-foot folding rule, and my only steel one. Very handy, and still as readable as one of my aluminum ones.

Congratulations on your find too.
