Got me a real treasure at Parkers Show yesterday.
It's a Case Brothers wood box. Now have two. One if for their 1207 model and the other is for my fall time favorite- the 6250. Brad Lockwood estimates these to be from around c. 1907.

I have an Imperial pocket Knife with what it looks look black plastic handles, it have two blades: one about two inches and the other about one and a half, both oppening from the same side. It is not in mint condition: both blades seems to be blued by former owner and with a bit of wear, besides it lacks the ring at the end, but it seems a very good knife and well made.

I have a buck scoutlite, maybe not a vintage knife, but one with a very good blade. I will put images whem I get my new camera

The new Remington Scout knife is made under contract by Bear & Sons

Does anyone know who manufactured the Remington Scout Knife? It is supposed to be a authentic reproduction, but in my opinion there is no comparison between it and the original. Very low grade knife in my opinion.

Want to see something interesting- David Mullins sent them to me. Here's what he had to say about them. "They are Case Brothers blades used by the machinists to check the tolerances. Each is stamped Tested XX below the swedge and engraved with a control number on the tang."

Hey Hog...that is good news.

I know trying to nail down any fact with certainty can be a challenge sometimes.

Did y'all notice the answer to iKC's recent trivia contest we ran? First the question was "What is the average age of iKC's membership?" I know lots of folks, including many members here in the group think it is possibly overpopulated with them young whippersnappers.....but do you know- the average age of the first 600 members as 39.55 years old? It is.
Thought you'd find that interesting.....

Hey- did y'all notice Max's 1933 World's Fair Knife was featured in a recent edition of Cutlery News Journal. Check it out.
