    Default Florida Knife Shop Razors

    7 Straights acquired today from local Florida knife shop. I originally set aside 18, put several back and left with 7. This is the same source where last Saturday I came home with some real gems. Sorry for the less than spectacular iPhone camera pic.

    Another great haul. I suppose it much better than having them rot in a box somewhere. I've always heard of treasure washing up in Florida...looks like it's true

    Great day indeed! I spend most of today scouring antique store in Modesto, Cali with no luck at all.

    Great finds. I really like the lines and the tang on that Case Preparedness.

    I wonder how similar the Genco Nubak is to the Robeson Nubak?

    Don't step on the tar balls. Great find Mike.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    I'm sorry, greed is one the seven deadly sins. You'll feel better if you redistribute these.

    Don't send any to JoeD, though. He already has more than his share.

    Golding it, why can't I get as lucky as you did! If you get that Greaves properly honed, it will shave like you won't believe. Congratulations!
