That is a very sweet one Joshua. I love the blade especially. Is it CF? How long is it?

I used the newer 881 to open a package today that contained the Schrade Walden 881 and a letter from Paul T gifting me the knife. Terrific gesture and a heck of a knife!!!

That is a gorgeous Schrade Jim! Mighty nice of Paul. Not surprised he did it and sure not surprised he wanted to gift it to you.

Wonderful knife and gesture from Paul. Congrats on receiving that beauty.

A few more Case doctor's knives ...

Smooth chestnut bone with blade and spatula, jigged amber bone with 2-blades, and a Crandall jigged olive green bone with single blade.

It took me awhile to warm up to the Navy Knife, but Charlie’s version from 2015, with all the wonderful details, created a strong desire to find one. Of course I feel that way about all of his creations. Charlie’s encyclopedic knife knowledge and passion is imbued in each of his knives. Get well soon Charlie.

Just received this one today. Dowell 3 5/8” bark ivory trapper.

Found this ol'wreck in a pawn shop, figured I'd better take it home.

Found this smiths ceramic stick sharpener in a thrift store. Gotta love working for a boss that'll go antiquing on the way home lol

My latest acquisition is an addition to my “boy’s knife” collection.

I have no idea who made this knife (or when it was made), as its tang stamp reads only “Made in USA,” but its construction is a mirror-image copy of the Allen Cutlery Company’s folded frame knives made during 1917-1925. It’s a slipjoint without a spring; there are only three parts: the blade, a single folded piece of steel that forms the frame, and a pivot pin (actually, more of a pivot rivet). One side of the pivot pin sits in a hole, and the other rides in a vertical slot. When the blade is opened or closed the square end of the tang bears against the folded tab at the back of the knife, forcing one end of the pivot pin upward in its slot and flexing the folded frame slightly, thereby providing the spring action that snaps the knife open and closed. It’s an ingenious design, and it must have been extraordinary inexpensive to produce.

Bottom line: it’s very cool, very clever, and very cheap. What’s not to love?

Ok despite having already acquired some nice knives this week, I'd already made arrangements to meet a seller for these. Think I'm going to take a break from buying any more for awhile, I need to slow my roll lol. Of these only the Ka Bar been carried and used. Grand total of $80.00, I just had to move on this Craigslist ad! In this bunch is my first Sheffield knife, my first Ka Bar pocket knife, and my first non Granddaddy barlows!

Lol pretty much the truth! Not to sound like I'm bragging but priced at $10-15 each how could I go wrong!?

I don't think any of us would have passed up that deal.

The jigging, pinched triple lined bolsters, and bail are just a few details I’m admiring here

 

[Buzzbait]

3 new Case knives this week.

 

[zoogirl]

This is today’s 21st Century Flea Market haul. Four Richards and a little round Ambassador. The speckled Richards is apparently abalone.
I’m happy with them!

Fun score !! The Ambassador and fixed blade are my favorites. Was this in the UK and hope to see some zoo pics

This little Sabre is as close to a duplicate of my first knife as I can manage to remember. I paid $10 for it today and $1.49 at the drug store 50 years ago.

I snagged this little Schatt and Morgan peanut last week. I was attracted to it by the Unusual jigging pattern and the quality of the die job on the handle. After using it for a couple of days I am most impressed by the action, it simply begs to be opened and closed.

I’m way over as far west as you can get in Canada. I’m in Surrey, which is a suburb of Vancouver and officially the Armpit Of Canada!
I don’t work at the zoo anymore but I’ve always got an oddball critter or two. Currently it’s a pair of field mouse brothers. Oh, and most of a cat.
That Ambassador has been trying to come home with me for quite some time but had to wait five bucks. The fiver finally dropped and so did the knife - right into my pocket!
