So I hit an antique festival today and here's my haul. (it's better than scrolling through my bs just to get to the pictures ;) )





Ok and what I have is a Max Schling advertising knife with what appears to be ivory scales on it. (I was going to ask on how to tell if it is or isn't.) Tang Stamp says it's a Scharade Walden, NY Other side the numbers 186 are on it.
Then I have a little brass and Mother Of Pearl two blade made by a company I can't read in Germany. (I gotta find a magnifying glass)

Another burglar knife but this time I have a good tang stamp on it. Cosmo MFG from Germany.

And the last one, that I got because I have never seen the scale materials before, It's from the Corning knife Company of NY.

any of you guys seen any of these before?



Oh and I called out somebody about selling counterfeit Benchmades and Gerbers. They then followed me and tried telling me that they were new old stock and showing me a badly copied BM box. (I laughed really hard and told them that they got ripped off badly. Kind of threw a bit of gasoline on the fire there. :P)
 
The handle on the last one i've seen described as "end of day" pattern. Story being all the left over bits of handle at the end of the day were pressed together to make another knife.
 
Brilliant, I've seen stropped to death Sebenzas with factory edges, NAVY copies of Spydercos and no name "customs" that look like frozen cat turds.

Love knife shows!

Yeah these were counterfeit BM Skirmish folders. Apparently Benchmade and Gerber made these knives for Sturgis. (Um..... no.)
