Great pair and great pic.
Have made couple more trips to flea market/estate sale this week ha ha. Having a great time. Here's the deal. Each day is additional 10% off through this Sunday, 90% off. Tuesday's haul, left to right, top to bottom: 1) 2015 Case Trapper jigged bone. Satin SS blades. Surface rust cleaned right up, unused with factory edge; 2) Opened up box that said "6318* Stockman CV". Nope. This nice little 1998 "Limited Edition" Case Barlow in black jigged bone was inside. Polished SS blades Surface rust, cleaned right up, unused with factory edge; 3) 2011 Case Texas Jack in black synthetic. SS blades. Wiped it out and oiled it. Unused, factory edge: 4) 2012 Case Peanut in yellow Delrin. SS blades. Wiped it and oiled it. Unused, factory edge; 5) Imperial Prov U.S.A. Kamp King. Cleaned it, oiled it. Again, appears unused with factory edge; 6) Schrade Walden Med Stockman. Kim's project knife. Lots of blade left, believe it will clean up well; 7) Schrade Walden Sm Stockman. Blades are well used, but the bone on this was so pretty we took it anyway.
Thursday I was working 20 minutes away, and there was something I wanted to snag at 60% off if no one else had. And found something unexpected: 1) Buck 102 Custom Dave Yellowhorse c. 1988-89 I believe. Just couldn't let this go to a bad home. It's mint, factory edge. All I did was polish the tarnish off the brass and wipe the blade; 2) Schrade USA 7-OT. This was unexpected. For several days I though the two $25 sheaths were just sheaths, realized yesterday there were knives inside. This was in the second. Functionally in great shape, still very smooth and locks up tight, original sheath. Appears to have been barely used. Believe this is a carbon blade, will test soon. Should clean up nicely; 3) Imperial Prov U.S.A. pen knife. Great little knife, but for some reason when the clip is fully opened it falls inward. Not sure if it's fixable, but for $4 it was too cool to leave there; 4) Case Caliber lockback. This is actually a gift for young woman we hired part-time last year, she's working and going to college. Has been out in the field with me several times in the last few weeks. She's been using my knives and talking about how much she would like to buy a knife. Graduates this semester, so Kim and I gave her this as a pre-graduation gift. Gave it to her this morning and she was so excited! Kim has promised her a really nice knife when she graduates, so we're going to look on-line when we slow down and let her figure out what she likes.
That's the fun we've managed to squeeze in between a 60 hour work week ha! Will be out there again tomorrow (Kim has her eye on some things but the Canadian in her won't let her buy them at less than 80% off) and maybe Sunday. A little better pic of the Buck. Clicking on the pic will take you to Flickr page and you can better see the detail.
