Just wanted to show some of the finds at my local antique flea market. I love the thrill of not knowing what you’ll possibly find when you walk through those doors. #girlscouts #utica #imperial #colonial #camillus #edc #pocketknife
Great finds. Fyi the cigar boxes work great. I usually put some felt or thin leather in the bottom of the box for help with the sliding around. Good video!
I had a nice Frontier knife it had a yellow handle that I put in the honesty box at Fort Jackson SC in 1979 during zero week in basic training. I think I was the only recruit that done what I was told that day. I miss having that knife to this day.
I have to say the same brother, amazing finds ya got there!! You did a bang up job on those covers man that is awesome. I need to find a boy scout knife for my son one day. Thanks for sharing brother!
Great antique store finds man! Thanks for the info on identifying the Camillus knives. Some clean up videos would be awesome. Just seeing how you do things. Blessings!
I learned how to redo pocket knives , from my late friend Lester Norris also shealth knives & butcher knives !!! Sold out many collections. Kevin Phoenix ✝️
Love those imperial frontiers, made by camillus actually, on contract. One of the ways you can tell they’re camillus, is the one sided swedge on the clip point, and the match strike nail nick, normally aren’t on imperials. I got hooked on slip joints when I started buying rough Ryders a few years back, and that in turn made me look for vintage knives, that all those rough Ryders were based off of. Pretty cool about dating the Kleins, I have a rope knife, a hawkbill, and a triple blades electrician knife, and was wondering about the dates, cuz I’ve noticed capital letters but didn’t know what they denoted. That featherweight Girl Scout is a good find, although I wouldn’t consider it a moose pattern, it’s more of an equal end pen knife, but that’s semantics I guess. Moose is more of a trapper with the blades on each end, usually a clip blade and spear or Spey blade same size. But thanks for sharing, love seeing what other ppl get. That easy open is sweet too, I need to get one of those. One of the few patterns I don’t own. Keep up the good work
Thank you for the clarifications! I appreciate that! And the Klein dating system is kinda strange. It started in the middle of the alphabet..then they skipped a few letters..then they decided to just start the alphabet over after Z instead of moving to a double letter system. So my “X” could technically be either a 1986 or a 2011. Thanks for checking in!
It’s actually really easy. I used one of those cylinder shaped sanding bits in my dremel…hold the bit on an angle when you dremel the handles. Do that down one side, then come back down the other. If it helps, you could even draw a line down the center of the handle so you know where to stop when dremeling. Maybe I can do a quick short showing how I did it…
Awesome finds! That’s my favorite thing to do, go find old knives and stuff to use. I’ve been collecting up different scout knives. There are a bunch of them. Have a great day brother!
