I had fun. Interviewed a few folks for CutleryNewsJournal, one was a guy who loves Schrade history and the Safety Push Button knife. Also saw a large display knife made by New York Knife Co with a fantastic Hammer Brand etch. Notice the bails on both ends too used to hang it from.

Very nice, Scott!
Was it a good show?

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
Comment by Richard L Campbell (Dick) on October 28, 2009 at 19:13
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."
