"Old Knives"

Very cool. Interesting it's got two bottle-openers.

Your right it has. You know, I hadn't noticed that.

I think Jack B. posted similar kit knives a few months ago, and this is the second one of my dad's I've found. Anyway I'm really excited about finding this so just had to share.

Nice find Donn, I have a couple two, one like this, and one in a red pouch and with cracked ice cell on the knife. Neither have the wee flyer though. Very interesting to see that :thumbup:

Cheers Jack. I thought I remembered seeing you post similar knives.

Folks, I came across a resource that I don't remember seeing listed. I don't know where to put it, so I'm putting it here:
http://www.kabar.com/content/files/Historical_Knife_Pricing.pdf

It runs from the "mid 60's" to current and has model number, manufacturing dates, and original pricing info. As far as I can determine, you can't get to it from the kabar.com main page. I ran across it in a Google search and thought you might find it useful.

Thanks Frank, that's a handy little item, I've just downloaded the PDF file

I love that little quill knife, Jack. Shame that the blade is snapped short.

 

[Jack Black]

Thanks Glenn, yes, a real shame :thumbup:

 

[paulhilborn]

NICE Jack!!! love that Lambsfoot:thumbup:

This old (Boker made) Primble Pruner arrived today, wonderful wood covers, full blade that took a very wicked edge with great walk n talk:thumbup:

 

[Campbellclanman]

Nice Hawk Paul!

 

[RobbW]

That looks soooo good!

Nice Hawk Paul!

That looks soooo good!

Thanks Duncan and Robb, it fills the hand so nicely and is so sharp. Not sure if the covers are ebony or rosewood but they are nice and dark (thinking ebony) and so smooth that I could see cutting for hours with no hand fatigue at all:thumbup:

I must say, the coin is pretty darned awesome as well - nice addition to the photos my friend.
