Gun Show Finds!

[waynorth]

I belong to the Historical Arms Collectors in British Columbia, and we have a little show, monthly, that has mostly militaria, and guns, and 2-3 knife tables. I usually don't find much, or anything at all to take home, but today was a bonanza!
Here are my treasures for the day!
A NYK timber scribe, a Kingston-made U.S.Marine Corp. utility pocket knife, the real one with the brass liners etc.- Then a U.S.-made Rigid small congress, and finally 2 SAKs I've never seen before, with metal handles, and odd secondary blades. Not bad for a lazy sunday morning!

That is a good way to 'spend' a Sunday morning. Great finds waynorth.

Not a bad haul for a "lazy Sunday morning.":thumbup: You're right about those secondary blades on the SAKs. Interesting. Any idea about the what and why of those?

 

[waynorth]

I think the seller goes through some groups of "airport" brand cutlery, finding the less boring stuff! The small blades may relate to what the advertised companies on the handles do, but when I googled them, it was not clear!

Nice finds. I had that Kingston knife when i was a kid. Lord knows where all those old jackknives and campers went from those days.

Nice Score!
The yellow Alox Vic's secondary blade is the electricians blade. The green Alox Vic's secondary blade is a pruning blade. Alox Saks are super tough and super collectible, especially alox SAK's in rare colors!
