It was a real weekend for old school knives at the Mt. Vernon, IL. knife show this weekend. I picked up a few nice traditionals.

First up is a Queen #49 Carved Stag bone Cattle King.

And a Schrade 881Y, real sweet like new, doesn't appear to have been sharpened or carried.

In a box on one dealers table, I found this Imperial Ireland Stockman, jigged delrin and in great condition. Has some age spots but the blades appear untouched and it was a whole $4.00!

A 1990 Buck 301 with brown jigged bone scales.

A Buck 112 with engraved nickel silver bolsters

And cool little fixed blade from Zlatoust, Russia from ROSarms, the literature says they make knives from discarded ball bearings and mostly use Birch for handles.

This one is called the "Fellow Traveler" model and is sort of an EDC utility knife. Quality seems high and it had a decent edge on it and I stropped it on some charged leather and now it is a hair popper. Very light also, remind me of some Scandinavian knives.

Great finds...Wow and 4 bucks for the imperial...I sure wish Florida had knife shows like that....

Somebody had a great weekend it would seem!:thumbup:

Sweet finds! I'm not usually a Buck man, but those two I most certainly like. That fixed blade looks like a fine piece.

Congrats!
 
WHOA !!!...great buys, LC. Gotta love a knife called "The Fellow Traveler" that comes from the former Soviet Union. ( the sheath looks top notch !) It is reminiscent of a puukko in some ways !
Also very much enjoy seeing the Queen...sure like the slanted bolsters on the Buck.....I could go on-and-on about each knife.
Those are just some great finds...congratulations, and thanks for sharing. You take great photographs.

-Best
 
You bagged some goodies, TLC! My choices would be the 881Y, and the 301! But $4 for the Imperial is one of those things that make your day!
 
Nice 'uns TLC. As you know, I like those stockman knives!
 
Nice catch TLC!!! :thumbup:
I really like the Imperial and the Schrade.

I'd love to find one of those brown bone Buck 301's.

How long were they made? How often do ya'll see them for sale?

This was the first I had seen, just out of curiosity I checked and there was one on EBAy that ended Sunday morning for 43.75...makes me glad I bought mine for 20.00 :D
 
I love that 301! I EDC a 301, and the only problem I have with it is the cheap looking plastic scales. Yours is the first I've seen that wasn't plastic or wood. You lucky dog. I'll have to look around a bit now. Sounds like a great show!
 
AAARRRGGGHHHHH!! You are a bad guy TLC!!
I'll give you $30 for it!!!
 
heheh, I'm just waiting to snipe in the last few seconds. Muahahahahah!

There is a reason they are called, Knife KNUTS.
