Hurricane Sandy Auction Starts Today ~ October 30, 2012!

Herre is my newest switchblade---a rred Crraftsman of course from Schrade and Walden New York.

What's different?  Well if you can see the advertisement below the knife in these pics...it is from the 1951 Spring.Summerr Sears Catalog and plays out the knives they are selling. 

$2.95.

$2.95?  Gimme a dozen right!?!

It is a nice knife and cost me a lot more than three bucks I'll tell ya…

Hi folks,

I just wanted to talk with you for a moment and share some thoughts and gather more thoughts.

Some things I think you should know that we have been doing for our community.

This month we have run our first ad in a knife magazine letting more collectors know about us. I say our first because things are in the works for two more.

We have partnered with the National Knife Museum and if you go to their page, we are listed under groups

It has been a phenomenal weekend.  The show brought together some knowledgeable, fun people and some great knife deals.  I will be adding a great deal to this blog as I review the weekend but I wanted to start with a Thank you.
