That is one on my list for sure. Nice score!

I just found these Fiskars loppers in a ditch while on our daily walk. They must've fallen off somebody's vehicle, because they were out in the middle of nowhere. It has a blade, so I guess this counts as my newest addition.
The joint needs oiled:0

I'm into pen knives lately. Found this Shapleigh.View attachment 2184568

Thanks Barrett, that easy open has been tugging at my wallet. The jigging, color and spearpoint are highly appealing.

A Franklin 250 made by Schrade.
I have to dig deep to learn about this one. ...pre cleaning. Circa 1939?
There may have been a company called Tracy-Wells in Columbus, Ohio, involved.

Very nice. What do you plan to do to clean it up? Abrasives like Scotch Brite? Or just soak it in wd40? Just curious, I want to learn, too.

I usually soak it in wd40, go from 400 to 12000 grit on blade and bolster ( I don't like shiny blades or bolsters). Scrub jigging, then apply Fiebing's leather dye for highlighting. Lastly Ren wax
Occasionally, I will force a patina.
That's my amateur approach.

Love the jigging on this one. What’s the closed length?

Hi Jon,
It is 3 1/8 closed.
Jigging definitely needs some cleaning.

I recently added several traditionals to my collection, but these two are my favorites of the lot. With bone scales, a congress pen marked "AMERICAN KNIFE CO, PLYMOUTH", dating between 1849 and 1875. With MOP scales, the swell-center pen is marked "CATTARAUGUS CUTLERY CO, LITTLE VALLEY, N. Y." and has great W&T. Total investment $6.


The broadaxe is marked "I. BLOOD" and "GOFFE & CO", a partnership that existed only in the early 1950s. While condition is always important in the items I collect, I gladly make allowances for things 100-150 yrs old. Thanks for watching! T-A

Just in off the exchange, Case 6318 medium stockman in S35VN. The cutout nicks are great for my big thumbnail!
Always a fan of burnt bone, too. The premium stainless was hard enough to sharpen to my taste, so should hold an edge!

 

[Olumin]

Linder hand forged skinner in C60 or C70 I believe. Stag, brass, aluminium.

 

[Smalleyds]

[Corto_Malt]

Not really a new one, but still a bit.
Costume change and improvements to the blade centering and smoothness of the mechanism of my Case Tribal Lock.
