I actually received these last Tuesday, but haven't had the time to clean them/post pictures.
They came in a lot of 9 knives I bought for $10.00 on eBay (I gave the rest to my kids) and I picked these three. Not much was done (some WD-40, 000 steel wool etc), and looking at them now they were probably mint and just stored improperly.


Enjoy!

Nice Hammer Brands, that equal end in really nice, their steel I find takes a excellent razors edge, were the rest of your score also Hammer Brand?
 
Those old Kamp-Kings were some of my earliest knives back in the late 50's when just a kid.

I can remember when one of my sisters was still in her baby carriage and me about 7 years old sitting in front of the building complex we lived in back in NYC guarding her with my opened Kamp-King.

Seems that there were rumors of some kind of child molester or kidnapper in the area and I was determined to protect my little sister at all costs. Funny how just seeing a knife can bring all that back.
 
My first knife was a Imperial Kamp-King, got it for my 6th birthday, when we moved from NY to CT, my folks also bought me my first fishing rod that year. I still have that Kamp-King 34 years later can't believe I never lost it, it was my most prized possession at the time.

I think everyone here has had a Kamp-King
 
i really really really dig that smaller one, what a great find, congrats, and your kids got a heck of a deal too id say.
 
Hi Vanguard, I bet you those knives work just as good as the day they were made!
That middle knife has a very cool main blade-very neat Swedge, and the long pull-thats such a nice looking blade!
 
Thanks for the compliments guys! They're very nice knives so far. I feel it will become very hard to find these knives in decent condition as time goes on.

Yes and no. They were a few Schrades, Colonials, and even a CRKT. The best out of them was a CRKT KISS, which my son is sending in for a cleaning.
 
That little EO is a jewel.:thumbup: Good haul.
