Good evening!
In the past I've always been the guy who looks at pawn shop find threads and said "how'd he find that, I never run into anything like that!" Well today, that changed. I found stumbled upon a shop that apparently is the hoarding center for my region. It was so much that in the hour I was there I couldn't sift through all he had, everything from straight razors and strops to WW2 E-tools. I'll be going back, there's just so many goodies there that I've got my eye on. Anyways, this is what I walked away with (excuse the poor quality phone photos):
This is a Buck Creek Sodbuster, apparently "hand made" in "Germany." I like the stag and mirror polished blade, it sharpened up well and felt like a quality steel when I was sharpening it but time will tell. I was very pleased with this find.
This was cool, a Shrade+ stockman which was scratched and sharpened but in good condition. Oddly, there are no markings whatsoever on this knife. No stamp, no "old timer" or "uncle henry," nothing.
This one was my favorite. A Camillus boy scout knife, rusted and sorta used but very much serviceable. The main blade had a nick in it which I assume is from either prying or some hard metal-on-metal contact but very much intact and unsharpened, I'll get alot of use out of this. Cleaned it up a bit, sharpened it, oiled the joints and she's good to go. Has no blade play, good snap.
Total cost: $21.37
