I  submitted a post with answers on what knife is what but decided to give answers tothe clues.  Answers in Bold.

Clue #1:

The middle knife only has one blade.  Easy!

Clue #2:

At least two of the knives are from the same maker.  Yes. They are.  Oh...the top & the bottom are Shrade.  But top i Walden, N.Y. and bottom is CUT Co/Walden N.Y.

Clue #3

At least one knife has celluloid grips. …

OK. Time for the answers.

I'm sorry I thought this would be easier for you.  I didn't do a good enough job of clues I suppose

From top to bottom we have---

A)  Schrade Walden   2 blades---1946 to 1973

B) Frost Cutlery, Flying Falcon with Falcon engraving   1 blade---1978 to Present

C) Schrade/CUT Co/Walden, NY  2 blades---1904 to 1946

Since Robert got one right he should get the Frost.  So, if you want her Robert shoot me a message.

The other…

OK sorry I'm late.  We'll go until noon or so with a few extra clues

Clue #A  The middle knife is indeed Frost Cutlery

Clue #B  The other two knives are from the same maker but different generations--blade markings differ slightly but the same maker

Clue #C (big drum roll...) Two knives are marked "Office Knife" on the obverse of the case.  I would post pictures of thst side and make that the clue but it would show too much.

I have one more clue but it would be…

Three cuties all lined up...

Any guesses?

The top one is tough to open the secondary blade.  It split my nail good so I left it alone for now.

The first person with three correct answers gets one of the knives…

A couple of pics of that fat little Norway pocket.  Remember, it's a fat little knife, short and very wide.  1 cutting blade & a bottle opener.  Nice Norwegian Viking Ship boat scene on one side and an open spot for engraving on the other side.

The only marking are "Stainless steel" on the knife blade.

This knife was descibed by the eBay seller as :

Haugrud Norway Pewter Norge Viking Ship Art Deco Lobster Folding Pocket Knife

An internet site…

So my bummed period is over and I did get a couple of things in the mail.  Nothing great.  A couple of old clay poker chips. One with an elephant carved on it and the other a guy in a speedboat on a lake. Probably Lake Tahoe because it is from Crystal Bay.

And then two knives:

1) Smith & Wesson Texas Hold em pretty cracked ice handles.  About 3.5" closed Smith & Wesson engraved on the blade with what looks like a straight flush.  SMITH &/WESSON on the tang.  The…

Yes I am bummed tonight.

Missed out on a couple of knives via the dreaded eBay including...

one really nice looking old Russell Barlow.

I was daydreaming of sittin' out on the river whittling some with Huck Finn.

I was going back and forth in bids with a guy until the last hour when...no more bids.  I knew he didn't give up.  He was sitting in the weeds waiting.

But so was I.  I was top bid for the last hour and I waited with a big bid in my entry box and…

anyone out there that has or wants to have or just want to know more about Mikov Knives this is the place for you. I have a direct line with MIKOV KNIFE  CO from the CZ . Come join the fun!!!! 

I bought this and the seller ssaid it was an "IMCO" knife.  I never heard of it but it wass inexpensive so I bought it.  Yeh I know.

Got home went thru my limited books.  Could not find anything like IMCO.

The knife is very dirty and blades are rusted to heck & back.  Can barely open them.  I'll have to throw some oil at it.

And then I couldn't read the engraving.  I used a little bitty wood scraper (like chicks use on their fingernails. It works good doesn't do any…

This hometown cutlery maker is one I never have heard of even though they are in my hometown.

Next time I am in their neighborhood I have got to buy one.  Can't have too many good knives even for slicing your apples!!

Good tips on knife sharpening too.

As much as I try to educate myself about things before I post something extremely stupid online (or say it in person) I share this story with you.

Besides knives I find myself very interested in Civil War history.  I had family who fought on both sides in that war and have photo, letters and even a diary.

Recently when I was looking for knives on eBay I saw an 1854 Half-Dime for sale that had been dug at a campsite in Virginia now on private land.  It was inexpensive $12...so I…

Well today I purchased 10 vintage unsearched pocket knives one sterling silver (190648264500) on eBay.  Was like $65 for all 10 so I figure if I get one or two that are worthwhile, good job me!  And if I get 10 inexpensive blades,…

Got a few things with the mail today.

One is a pocket knife.  A Scout that the seller says is made by Imco.  When I look that maker up in Cutler Markings it shows two "Imco's".  Problem is I cannot read the marking(s) on the blade for the life of me.  But the book says both makers are German (probably same company) and I'm guesing German makers probably didn't make Scouts.  Could be wrong though.  Hell could be way wrong.

I will have to find someone else to take a look.  Even…

I also got a book today.  I have to remember how to read paper!!

The Goins' Encyclopedia of Cutlery Markings.  What a great book for a knife dummy like me.  Someone here recommended it and I thank you.  I will put it to good use for sure.

The first is nothing unique:  an Italian Milano switchblade marked "Italian Milano" on the blade.  Stainless steel, for what that's worth.  Gives quite a jolt when you open it that's for sure.…

The 2nd knive today is a small 3" when closed and 4.5" when opened folder.  The large blade says Iroquois Made in the U.S.A. on the tang.

This is a nice little knife I think I'll keep it!

I am waiting for the one sweet knife that I bought to show up but this will do for now.…

I bought a new knife.  I liked that it looked like a switchblade but worked like a regular folding knife.

It is a Chinese blade RiteEdge and is 6"long folded.

Nothing spectacular but is very solid and heavy in the hand.

I haven't had much time to walk thru iKC anymore so I have to get back to that, I have enjoyed it so…
