"Old Knives"

[Augie]

You all are continuing to post some great knives.

This Camillus 3 line was a pleasant surprise, no size description in the BIN listing so I was thinking it was a peanut, very pleased when I opened the package and found it was a
3 5/8" small Trapper, most likely the oldest Trapper I have.

Augie you are sure gathering some beauties in at a great rate my friend- I agree with everyone - nice Camillus there - I bet that was a very nice surprise if you were thinking it was going to be a Peanut!

Here’s a beaut of a wee one...
At 2” 7/8s with a pinned shield, it’s quite springy with snappy action and a bit of main blade play. The pen is almost factory with no play whatsoever. Both blades are long and quite full, and both stamped. A tight spring pin crack on the mark side keeping it from perfection. A really neet 1/2 stag stockman carry...

Got out to my first flea market Sunday since before Covid. Got a couple decent ones including this Miller Bros.

Glenn, looks nice and crisp, I'm a fan of 3 and 4 blade pens, that's a nice find

I agree Rob, Glenn that’s a wee Sweetheart of a small Pen, not a hang of a lot of Miller Pens out there that I have seen, I usually pick these beautiful wee Knives up when I come across them as they are always so beautifully made and finished with the highest attention to detail- and yours my friend is very nice!
What the other side like matey? Just as nice?

Thanks! Don't have a pic of the pile side handy right now, but it's in about the same shape.

Just coming back to visit this Thread, forgot to comment Gus on that really nice wee KaBar Pen! Nice to see these great smaller Knives coming out!

This one’s been well around, even before it went well around after my purchase. A pre-1939 model 732306 equal-end tapered spring whittler in pearl. It’s 3”1/8s with quite full blades, other than the one that’s modified. From the models I’ve seen, this shortened sheep-foot has had it’s file ground almost right off. A ghost of the file’s pattern remains very slightly and only seen on an angle. It’s mawvellous covers are deteriorating and loosening from their nickel pins and and it’s a breaker on the main with lighter pulls on the secondaries. Very strong snaps and almost no play. Just something to look at...
