I stopped by a local pawn shop on saturday and found two nice knives. One is a Case 1974 stockman that has delrin handles and a pen blade, the main blade tang stamp just says 087pe. I also found a Black Forest half congress made in soligen germany with very nice stag scales and pinned shield both knives had knicks in the blades but I sharpened them out with no problems. Oh I almost forgot the good part both knives only cost 9.00 for the two. I thought it was a good day.:D
 
Nice score. The half congress sounds particularly nice. It's hard to go wrong with 2 older knives under $10, especially if they are in decent shape.
 
Both knives are in good shape tight blades on the Case and a little play on the half congress. Both knives are carbon bladed and sharpened up real nice. I have been carrying the Case since I sharpened it up, kinda took a liking to it.
 
I wish I could post pics but I don't know how and I can't put them on the office computer as I can only take them with my cell phone. But that is my dilema else I would have pics everywhere on here of all the knives that I have. Thanks gents for all the replies:)

Not a problem, that's why I posted about it. Folks are free to host on your behalf as long as it isn't using the site's bandwidth.

Tell you what, send me an email with a couple of shots and I'll see if I can hook you up with a couple of images. (I don't use my bladeforums account to host images.)

Not bad for $4.50 a piece you can't even buy a Rough Rider with that kind of money. I've been suprised at the number of good finds at pawn shops.

Yea your wife probably has to drag you outta them so she can have some time with you. HA HA

BTW both are very nice finds. :thumbup:
 
Sweet! You can't even buy a sandwich for $4.50. (That stag might be tough on your teeth, though.) ;)
 
For 9 dollars that is awesome. I really like that Black Forest knife. The shield side (pile side?) stag is awesome. I like it alot. And I've owned a 087. Its a good knife. Good score.
 
Thanks guys/gals for the replies. The pile side is not so good on the stag it's smooth but hey you can't be picky for 4.50. I've been using the case for some whittling and it holds an edge pretty good. I find myself reaching for this one more than my dogleg jack which I thought would never happen. It's funny how things come along and change your mind.
