Okay guys, the first three knives all survived a house fire. I'm not sure if there was any heat treat damage done to the blades, I'm guessing since they didn't get hot enough to distort the Delrin on the bullnose then the blades should be fine, they were all stores together. The fire occurred in April of 2015. No tubes for these guys, of course they were sharpened and used as well!
I did the best I could to clean them up at the time, but my supplies were low. If you have a workshop and some ability these knives could clean up and be perfect users!
First up is a #74 Trapper Trader. Sold!
This one has some deep pits on the wharncliffe blade and the backspring. The movement on the blades is actually rather smooth and they sit nice and tight with no wiggle, but the closing is a little lazy.





Next, a bullnose in orange delrin. Price $45.00 spf.
This one is actually in really good shape. Doesn't seem to be any deep pits in the 01 took steel. The lock up is good, and a solid walk and talk. Honestly, someone with the basic supplies could turn this one into a good EDC.
