Last night an elderly lady in town asked if I wanted a box of pocket knives. When I went by to pick them up, I was more than a little surprised. They are mostly a mix of American made or truck stop specials. I am pretty excited.
The three pictures are sorted in crap, meh, I am happy to clean them up categories.Attachment 340242

Nice haul. I've probably lost about that many over the years. Lol.
What a haul.
The Estwing hatchet is a classic. Brass knuckles?
That’s a real honey pot of knives.
Chrome plated tin knuckles, if I was a 12 year old delinquent they would be the cats meow. They are headed for the bin.Quote:

Don't toss em, Charlie! That would look swell in my old crap display case. I have candy cigs and all sorts of old crap in there!
Cool story about your Mom.Quote:

Interesting handle with the knob by the knuckles.
How does that fit in your hand?
I imagine a pinch grip with the knob in the palm of your hand.
It's weird and awkward, my guess is it's some knife from a cheese cutting set.Quote:

Yup. Save them for your next meet and pass them around.
Dibs on the tin knuckles!
Nice gift Charlie. There's definitely some worth having mixed in with a whacky stuff. Looks like some might be nice camping knives, possible a challenge, a Case or Craftsman or 2, maybe an Imperial plus that hatchet is sweet!
You know, those little 'gimme' advertising knives are an interesting thing. I have several in my crap case.
Including a Scout knife or 2?
Coupla sod busters there. What's the one with the red rays?
Nice bunch of knives! That striped handle is interesting. I bought a much rougher Estwing hatchet like that, without the leather sheath.
Guess there were a few fathers in the area wondering what happened to their pocket knife :thinking:Quote:

Who is that fixed blade with the egg shaped handle made by?

I like the Wayne feeds barlow, great advertising design. There are a few more give away cheap-ee advertising knives a Reagan-Bush, and plumbing supply.
There is a big variety, sodbusters, barlows, stockmans, melon knives, even a big marlin spike knife. They are mostly good and ok brands, Case, Camillus, Shcrade, Imperial, and Hammer brand knives.
I agree about the small kukuri knife, it is extremely cheaply made. The ball handle knife is made by Dansk, cheese knife (pretty sure).Quote:

I'm kind of fond of knives that have a modified planform from use or miss use. It shows the passage of time like dished stone stair treads.
I don't know what a marlin spike is but i used to have a knife with a thing for digging boy scouts out of horses hooves.Quote:
