This Year's Vintage Peanut Haul

[FuriousPace]

These are the vintage peanuts I've been able to pick up so far this year. I don't do anything to my knives but wipe them down with gun oil to clean them up, so as they are is how I received them, minus the rust. I listed the maker and approximate year to the best of my knowledge.

Cattaraugus (1882-1963), Schrade (1917-1946), Primble (1940-1968), Winchester (1919-1942)

Kabar (1923-1951), Sears (1878-1959), Robeson (1922-1939), Robeson (1940-1964)

Cripple Creek (1981), Cripple Creek (1981), Challenge (1891-1928), Schatt&Morgan (1895-1931)

Western State (1911-1956), Utica (1910-1937), Hibbard..(1855-1960), Hibbard...(1855-1960)

Hi Furious Pace -

Your name aligns well with your collecting habits!

Very nice collection. I particularly like the bone and stag versions.

Yesterday I pulled out my old Roberson jack and carried it for a change.

Thanks for the excellent pictures.

best regards -

That's a great selection to have been able to acquire in such a short period of time.

Wow. "Haul" is a very accurate description of those fine knives.

 

[supratentorial]

That's a bumper crop of peanuts! :thumbup:

 

[arrowhd]

Wow, I'm impressed. Really like the Cripple Creek's and Challenge.

I like them all, but swooning over that Western States candy stripe with the sabre grind, big swedge, and the tapered long pull. I want to see your hunting grounds!

As many on this site already know, collecting knives can become very addicting. The positives of collecting these old peanuts has to be everything I've learned about the various vintage companies and I've paid less for the majority of these old knives compared to what I would have paid for new ones. I still think about the ones I missed out on, because I know the odds of coming across them again are slim. Without a doubt I am convinced that today's production knives cannot match up with the quality and craftsmanship that went into these old production knives. Although, there is that new AG Russell pinched peanut, I've been itching for.

Yup!

Man, that Primble and that last Hibbard are sweet. :thumbup:

Another :thumbup: for Hal and Duncan's assessments: The Western State's blade is off the charts neat, with the big swedge and especially the tapered pull. Thanks for showing.

Those are beauts. The Western and the Ultica really caught my eye.
