    THAT is a NEAT old knife! Don't see them over here.

    I did find an old warrior for a decent price the other day though.

    KA-BAR folding hunter with the dogs head shield and "match striker" pull. 1930's or 1940's I figure. Old knife has a pretty full blade yet, snaps good and just a small bit of blade wiggle. It's big hand full of knife.


    Somewhere along the line the back scale got broke and was fixed with some kind of putty. Common fix back in the day.


    Also found a Utica "rooster nutter". Guy selling it had no idea what it was.


    AND, a big Carl Schlieper EYE BRAND "sod buster" with a saw blade. Made in '85.


    I didn't steal these, but they were cheap enough to get me to buy 'em.

    Just won this old guy tonight :



    A little easier to carry as a pocket knife.

    I'm very glad I won this one !

    Acquired a nice Herder Solingen Horticulture Pruner? (perhaps a "Navy Knife") today for a song.

    Lichten Berger I'd say 1840 for this one.

    One of our french member got a razor of this maker, that is around 1820 :
