It's an edger with a six inch wide reel mower in addition to the disk. Couldn't pass is up for $15.

Had some less than good luck with my photo skills last night but here's one...

This guy came from a flea market / antiques show two weeks back. It's old, there's a very light marking at the base of the blade that I believe says "France". It's thick (looks like around 5/32") and heavy. $10.

That's a nice find Sean.

I did a little bit of file work on the edge bevels and she took a wicked sharpness. I've done a few test hacks on an unsuspecting railroad tie and a nice edge coupled with the heft of the blade makes for a very deep bite.

You can harvest the cane sugar for Mojitos in MI.

I will have to look for some onsite...maybe a midnight hike is in order? I hear they are sweetest under a full moon. But, alas, we shall be moon-less.

 

[jds1]

I see what you did there.

I picked this up a couple weeks ago. The guy I bought it from knew nothing about it. It's not a JK but seems to have a good heat treat on a quality carbon steel. I convexed the edge and have been impressed with the size to performance ratio it provides. Can't expect much more for $20.

The biggest flea market we attend each year is coming up soon: http://www.hillsville.com/fmarket.htm We normally do two 8 - 10 hour days and see most of it. It would take another day or two to catch all of the yard-sales along the way in.

Got this for $1.50 last weekend.



Part of my vintage multi-tool collection.

Great shop stool, Jeff. Got one pretty much like that myself.

Found this for a quarter up north a few weekends ago. Too odd not to grab. It says NEW RK BRAND on the handle, only marking I could find.

Me too! Sabre brand Irish made. Got this thing for $8. The blade was nothing but rust, but the caps were just fine. I think they might be nickel? Does anyone have info on this thing?
