so i'm new on blade forums, and im 19 years old so classic traditional knives were kinda out when i was in boy scouts, ive fallen in love with them now just because they look so much better than the modern ones, ive inherited a hand full of knives from my grandparents including:

a case sod buster stainless steal
a buck with 2 blades i believe its a trapper
a ka-bar with 2 blades on opposite ends
and a ranger brand with white scales that has 2 blades i dont know much about

im interested what i can learn from you guys who are well versed in this, im hoping to figure out the terms first

-thank you

Welcome to the forum. It sounds like you have a nice group of traditional knives there. Is it possible for you to post a pic or two of the knives? Everyone likes pics of knives....right?
Here is a good way to search the forum.

If you can't find the answer to your question that way, just ask.

Welcome to the porch young man . I would suggest that you go to greateasterncutlery.net and look into the " Information " tab and learn what the parts of a knife are called. Then just go through the rest of their website . Then just continue reading different threads here on the Forum . You have inherited some nice knives for your start .

Without a paid bladeforums membership that provides hosting, you'll need to use a 3rd party photo host like www.tinypic.com (probably easiest since you don't need an account) or www.imgur.com (signup required). Upload the photo, copy the bbcode and paste the code here to embed.

Welcome to the forums ... looks like you have a good feel for the type of knives you like ... and it's good to see a young man appreciate traditional knives ...

and any specific question you may have about knife brands or help with whatever interests you ... just post up the questions and the good folks on the porch here will gladly help all we can ...

I don't use it because I bought a Gold membership and can post directly but several use imagur now to post pictures ... would be great to see you knives ...

hope you enjoy the forums ... so much to be learned here and alot of good people that are willing to help out ...

Welcome to the forum!!!

You have some good looking knives there.
If you have an interest in knives, new or old, this is the best place to be.
 
nice start to a collection of traditionals :thumbsup: ... what knives are you interested in learning more about ? or what knives are you considering buying in the future?
 
I think the stainless Ka-bar is the oldest knife of the bunch. I'm familiar with old knives but not familiar with this particular knife. A Ka-Bar collector will know more. The pattern is a pen knife. The others are relatively newer economical knives. The Ranger jack knife was made by Colonial Knife Co. The Case Sodbuster and Buck Mini Trapper are the newest knives of the bunch. The Buck was made in China.

Unfortunately I don't seem to have many Ka-bar catalogs. A Ka-bar collector will have many more catalogs. This isn't a match but it is similar and I thought you might enjoy seeing it. It's not stainless and the cover material is different. Looks to be the same pattern though. This particular catalog example is from 1940. A Ka-bar collector will likely know the age of your knife.
