I found a few 3 for sure and a little negotiating all three for 15 each !

Kutmaster WWII in jigged bone all blades have good snap and has that funny old style can opener!Not sure I f i should clean and oil? they did have a couple in wood handles but the blades were wobbly and springs weak with US Army on them but I went for the Bone in much better shape

Fox N Hound large 2 blade lockback in Stag looks only pocket carried and original sharp.

Parker Wostenholm I XL 2 blade with Black Buffalo Horn never sharpened light carry marks .

Great haul man. I would like to learn more about that can opener. I believe a Knife World collection Carl gave me had an article on them. Queen used them and it was stated as such in the article. Fox makes some nice knives . The IXL is neat, just make sure it isn't a Parker Japan or China made knife.

How would a Noob know better but the I XL is a Parker Japan . The collector I talked to said hey starting collecting buy knives you like and your taste will adjust with time ! He also said the can opener was a flawed design that got corrected later as many GI's we ohonor for their service got cut on the original design!

If I can learn, a noob can too. Trial and error for me, you gotta do your homework. I had a Parker IXL lockback that looked great, but was a wobbly mess. Was sold as a Parker remake, but I didn't know what that was at the time. I've seen some at shows with a Sheffield England stamp on them, other than that, I am a sitting duck when it comes to them.
