Nothin' Fancy

This is about 3/4 of my current collection minus the safe queen slippies and tactical folders from the last 12 months or so. Plenty of old, very used knives form Imperial, Queen, Western, Utica, Schrade, Buck, Case, Boker, KK, Kutmaster, Iroquois, Ulster, etc...

Big Mo - Nice collection of knives. Wondering about these two single blade, what I think are Western 53 lockblades? Are there two sizes of that pattern? are they Westerns?

That pattern goes way back with Western Boulders, the old two blader "30" pattern is one I'd like to see. They were a handful.

How long is that Ranger? I like it!

She's 3 & 3/8ths and quite the looker!

Westerns are under appreciated as far as I am concerned.

Not to mention, pretty damned hard to find. They made some incredible patterns.

Here's an Imperial from days gone by that I picked up last weekend for a buck, cleaned up nice and took a GREAT edge, I'm looking forward to slipping it into the pocket this weekend!

These two knives are partly responsible for my knife addiction/appreciation, they were passed down to me when my grandfather died over 10 years ago, and I'm still carrying them. Their just as sentimental as they are useful, both are colonials, the top one's shield has old cutler on it I believe.

Are those bone scales? That's a great find for $1.

Yep, bone scales, the back one has a crack all the way throught, but does not look to be in danger of falling off. The guy had a trunk of junk, a buck an item, the wife spotted a few knives. I got this and a Victorinox clasic, 2 bucks, this one cleaned up real nice, but I was sure bummed when I saw the cracked scale. Still it's a solid knife, and wicked sharp (now...)

Wick a little super glue in there, the low viscosity stuff and it'll be solid as a rock.

Good idea, I'll do that this weekend and we'll see if she holds up!
