Cool knife Jer

Thank you. I still haven't found one exactly like the one I traded away, but I've got no complaints about this one.

Picked up this old IXL Stockman today

My randomizer did similarly: Camillus 72.

Picked up this old IXL Stockman today

I suspect that I*XL was catering to American sensiblities with those cool "Premium Stock Knives", Jack!! Interesting choice!!

My finger went randomly into my "catch-all" drawer and came out with this interesting knife as well! It's an older Relic - a million-miler, Robeson Pocket Ease double-end Harness Jack!! Still works perfectly, and sliced my crossword puzzles out of the paper right smartly (sharp!)! Someone loved this knife, preserved the punch, oiled the joints and kept a keen edge on the blade!!

I reckon you're right Charlie Lyle sent me that knife many years ago. I had another, but gifted it to someone else. That was a real nice lucky dip today my friend

4-line Camillus with my poured epoxy handle. The edges need some easing.

Thanks a lot for reminding me I haven't posted the S & M Heritage Jack I picked at random this morning

 

[waynorth]

Those Heritage Jacks are nice knives, and were a wonderful Idea, Jack! Too bad they didn't do more for Queen in its day!!
My Fickle Finger of Fate landed on this random Robeson Jack this A.M!! Still nice and sharp, it will excise my daily crossword puzzles handily, from the morning paper!!

Thanks Charlie Yes, definitely Wonderful random pick my friend, and a great pic

The Gods of Chance played a trick on me this morning, by putting this cartoonishly big 5 1/4" (Chinese) Marbles Jumbo Trapper in my hand! I put this knife in my cart about 5 years ago, and have never carried it before. It's certainly a lot of steel for your buck, and there's nothing to complain about in terms of fit and finish, but I better stay away from the water today!

And the cops!
This one turned up Sunday, but it was extra random so I saved it till Tuesday. It was in my belt-buckle drawer, where I was looking for a patriotic buckle.
Tilting and squinting through a 20x loupe, I can barely make out "SYRACUSE KNIFE COMPANY" over a fourth line that ends in "NY". It's a Camillus brand made by Camillus in the 1930s, and imported from Poland by Camillus for a couple of years in the 1970s. I think this one's from the '30s.

I bought it from the little guy in Little Falls, NY, who seems not to be there anymore.

Yes, I won't be going anywhere today! That's an interesting knife Jer You have a belt-buckle drawer? I have a belt and braces drawer, and a bandana drawer!

Thanks. I'm glad I bought it, though it was worn and grubby. I liked that old guy, and he's probably dead.
I keep my buckles in baggies so they won't scratch each other.

I'll need that Holy Spirit buckle on the right at Praise team rehearsal tomorrow. They want to be reassured that the new board will work. We have it almost figured out.

Yes, I suspect that, when I get to the markets and antique stores again, a few of the old folks I used to buy from regularly may no longer be there Good idea Jer, you have a nice collection Good luck tomorrow

Scanning French knives lately, I left this one on my desk, so grabbed it to tote around today - accidentally random!! Last knife for a couple days; going into the hospital for a shiny new titanium hip in the A.M!
I hope your old dealers are back in business, Jack!!
