Thrifty Thursday... Cheap Traditional Knives

[afishhunter]

This all metal Imperial seems rather old with the abbreviated I.K.CO tang stamp. Fine edge, very good walk and talk, half stop, and very cheap.

Nice example of the quintessential "Boy's Knife".

Got this one piched in free when I boght another knife, I think all together maybe $20.
Photo-toad and an IXL.

Thank you afishhunter. I thought I might post it also in the "Boy's Knife" thread.

I don't think they're going into my pocket on Thursday.
However, at a single cent under $20 for the blister pack pair, they might qualify as "thrifty"?

BIT Old Timer 12OT "PAL"
(Peanut size single blade without a locking blade. I forget what they call the one with a liner lock.)

Sounds like the 18OT Mighty Mite I posted last week!

This week I'll post another knife from the "Gift Set" I mentioned last week. It's a 72OT that Schrade just called a Dog Leg Jack, but I think lots of us would call it an Old Timer Peanut:

Inexpensive you say, I got lots of that!

Eva Marie Saint gave me this one. She said there was a story behind it.

Very thrifty for a complete set of a knife, fork, and spoon with a leather carry case for $2.

North By Northwest is one of my favorite movies! It's been too long since I last watched it.
(When I attended Purdue University and drove frequently in northwest Indiana, I kept an eye out for crop dusters. I always check Goodwill Stores for a suit like Cary Grant's in the film. )

In the Mad Magazine spoof, when Cary Grant gets home he's been gone seven years, he's been declared dead, and his wife has seven children that look like Alfred Hitchcock.

These three are still with me.
The Half Hawk/Loom Fixer made short work of a 1.5 inch green/growing pine limb that needed trimmed back a few feet, yesterday, (no batoning or chopping) along with a few minor twigs and branches.

At under $18 the RR1837 Gene Autry Moose qualifies as "thrifty" in my humble biased opinion.

Great pairing. I wonder how many fish met their demise from them.
Picture is wallpaper/screen saver quality, too.

I've got a dust old reel around here just like that. I wonder if it still works...

Nice knife, too.

I like that MOTS Imperial fish knife and the photo!

I have a similar photo, although the sunfish knife went to another BF member in a GAW:

If it’s still together and not missing any parts it probably does work. I still use this one every now and then trout fishing.

Those Johnson reels are classics- getting hard to find and they’re getting expensive

More trout than I can remember. Thank you for the comment on the picture, too.
