All these knives are between 50-90 years old, all are in carried near perfect shape, all bought for under $10 at either a yard sale or flea-market, (the only two exceptions being the bone handled Case, got that at an estate auction for $3 and the Schrade/Wurlitzer, bought on EBay for less than $20) my point here is of you look and are more educated than the people selling them, you can still get great deals on traditional patterns.
You just gotta be patient and sometimes if your real lucky, you find a diamond in the rough, as was the case with the black jigged bone 4 line Camillus, it was rusty, crusty and looked like hell, it was actually thrown in free b with another knife I'd bought at the local flea market. A little elbow grease and another fine vintage user for next to nothing or in this case nothing.

Very kniceJack, I've developed a fondness for Maserin knives, I have a more modern stainless Damascus that I win from Totally Judy quite some time ago and I've always loved pearl, that open looks gorgeous, oh and happy Sunday to you to my friend, hope your weather holds out, enjoy your Sunday.
