I picked up a couple of 897uh's in the grey box just for traders hint hint if anyone needs one for some reason, cause I love my oldtimers. and I picked up 3 of these camillus young bucks outdoors camp knives, reason being when they started the "show me your camillus" thread someone posted an orange camillus buckmaster and I found these to be pretty close. so Ive got one of these to trade too. Hope I dont get in trouble for offering trades here but what the heck. -Joel

Flea-market stuff?? That's some VERY enviable gear you've got there:thumbup:

No knives this week-end as it will be Mayday holiday on Tuesday and things are quiet.No postman either:eek: Waiting for Mr Bark River, Herr Weidmannsheil and Mr Case Red Bone. Getting impatient too!!!
 
Thanks guys, nope two of the largest flea markets in my area. four rules to follow.

-get there early,
-move fast
-keep your eyes open
-know how to deal

I see our Codger is watchting this post, the bottom deerslayer will be customized and possibly for sale in the weeks to come :D
 
Actually I'm eyeballing that Big Timer in the middle. Still want that SCHRADE (no+) LB-7? :D
 
Oh, the big 51OT, that'ns mine! :D I had one andsold it-regreted it ever since. This one will get some filework, handles, maybe a blade shape change, we'll just have to see. The "say it with flowers" knife is on the bench tommorow, I reshaped the blade, cleaned it up and it's getting some pinned very curly Koa
 
Muskrat, that's a Lot of knives! I'm lucky if I find one or two at the markets around here!(If only the Schrade plant were still open!) I got two over the weekend. One I'm happy about, the other I'm kind of questioning my sanity:confused: . The first is a nice Canal Street stag serpentine stockman, the second is a Schrade Walden stag 834 that I got off Ebay. Unfortunately when I spotted it there was only 27 seconds left so I bid in a panic without really checking it out. What caught my eye was that it's stag which I'd never seen. Doesn't look like a re-handle unless it was done a long time ago, plus the shield is pinned. The bad points are that it's been polished like crazy and the blades (at least two) are worn to the point of being unrecognizable. I haven't gotten it yet, but I really paid an arm and a leg for it (fifty some odd dollars!?!:eek: ), much more than I would have if I'd have studied it more. Then again, has anyone seen many of these in stag? Or have I been duped?:confused:

Codger,
Thanks! That's what has me stumped, what's the difference between stagged bone and stag? If it helps, here's a shot of the back, the auction # was # 320101119191 if anyone wants to see the page.

Bone is usually cattle shin bone. It has a different texture than antler (stag). Stag is usually from European or asian deer or elk species, though some modern makers are using North American elk or even whitetail deer antler. The most popular stag is Sambar stag. It is more dense than the domestic antler. Most pre-1960 Schrade Walden (and Schrade Cut Co) knives were bone jigged to resemble stag, or with other textures such as sawcut, a few smooth, and quite a bit with patterns from Rogers Manufacturing Company of Rockfall, Connecticut. They began making jigged knife handle material from domestic cattle bone around the turn of the century, but most of it came from Argentina by the 1920's. During WWII they sourced the bone also in Brazil and... the best, toughest bone came from old (15 yr) Australian range cattle.

At first, all the jigging was done by hand. Eventually they used machines. George Schrade patented a machine to do this in 1925 and cutleries which made their own handles (Camillus among them) began using George's machines. Rogers produced some distinctive patterns. I often see it stated that "Rogers Bone burned in 1956 and went out of business", but that is a myth. They may have suffered a fire, but last produced bone knife handles through 1962, gradually shifting to molding plastics, Delrin knife handles when the Dupont factory in Parkersburg, West Virginia was completed in 1960. By then, they had been doing plastics molding for five years or so. They continue in that business to this day.

Delrin is an acetyl resin of Nylon, but a lot of other plastics were used prior. More research is in order, but Dupont patented Delrin in 1956, so it is possible that limited quantities were available before 1960. Other types of Nylon and styrene were definately used.

So there is more than you ever wanted to know about stag jigged bone which Schrade often called simply "stagged" regardless of the particular pattern of jigging.

Hey MM,
You have a Camillus rope knife next to the Mariners knife. We need to seriously talk a trade! What do you want or need?

That is only the second one I have seen. I have one already to go, but broke the backspring. I have awesome jigged Honey Horn scales already on it, and extended n/s bolsters. All I have to do is file work the spring & put it together.

PS- no Schrades for me this weekend. I did find a 18" Old Hickory chef knife, a 6# sledge hammer & a Swedish made Super Banko hatchet.
 
i got an old timer 330T. given the situation, id just as well not have it. it was my father in laws. he passed monday morning and my mother in law said he wanted me to have it. it will be in my display case till i pass the knives to his grandaughters.
 
I need to find out where you go to the flea markets, seriously. Seems my only outlet is ebay. I live in Plano which is on the outskirts of Dallas Texas. I can't seem to find anything in the way of toy stores. Anyone from this area? Oh, here are my 3 latest finds. Picked em all up cheap.
