That would also be helpful for people to provide an estimation of value."

I got caught - Knockoff Spyderco Knife

I do not have many Spyderco knives at all, and was surprised to see a relatively inexpensive one at my local guns shop. It did not have what I have come to view as a trademark thumbhole in the…Continue

"I've got a model 62 also in much better condition than the '90. I hunted with the '62 with my grandad on a ranch in the Arbuckle Mountains of south-central Oklahoma where he was a true to life horseback riding cowboy until he was 83.…"
"he he he... New Haven. That would have to be Winchester. Model 90. Old pump rifle. Bluing looks decent.
I have its successor (the model 62). Real nice little rifle."

"I have never been much of a boot knife connoisseur... and in truth never been a big fan of boot knives.
That being said there are definitely aspects of these that I do prefer over others.
Based upon this group of knives, I like: …"

"I do not believe the end of the handle design is of a P3. I concur with a P2 design. The P1 had a similar handle but the blade ricasso was way too big on the 1st pattern"

"The F-S knife was designed around 1941 but really gained its notoriety in 1944 at Normandy.
Being as this is a pretty popular blade, there are a ton of replicas and copies around. I may have to re-evaluate my suspicion of authenticy though...…"

"I have never seen that maker's mark, but I thought it was 'Slater'.
I cannot seem to find it anywhere. I tried a number of spelling variances.
Sorry Dennis."
"Very cool looking knife! I love the sub-hilts to begin with, add a bison horn handle (or water buffalo), and I am drooling over it.
Mosaic pin, a good sized solid bolster, hollow ground blade... Yep. Significant lusting going on…"

"LOL.
Lars beat me to it.
Yep. That is a Fairbairne-Sykes fighting knife. I do not have one yet, but if that is original, then that is a real treasure/find to the right person.
We are not shown any potential markings, but if the condition…"

I've got a model 62 also in much better condition than the '90. I hunted with the '62 with my grandad on a ranch in the Arbuckle Mountains of south-central Oklahoma where he was a true to life horseback riding cowboy until he was 83. Those rifles are neat and accurate little guns. Thanks for the welcome to iKnife. I've got 5 Mr Itou 5" drop hunter damascus knives (unused with leather sheaths) with exotic handles (Mammoth molar, genuine ivory, narwhal horn, abalone, and another that I can't remember). I'm trying to determine quality and value. I've also got a Civil War officer's sword (in very good to excellent condition) marked U.S. ADK 1862 on one side and Ames Mfg Co Chicopee Mass. on the other side with the metal scabbard. On the handguard it is stamped 2125. Again I'm trying to determine value. I'm interested in selling these, as well as some other knives. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Lonnie

Thanks for the welcome message Kevin. I wonder what type of knife Godzilla would carry? Multi-tool, or would they be too hard to open? Fixed blade, maybe a Smatchet Cas Iberia Viking Sword as a neck knife? Auto or manual folder - Cold Steel pocket sword (Voyager XL Vaquero)? Perhaps a Spyderco Salt since he seems to spend a lot of time in the ocean?

Hi Kevin. Apologies for not seeing this sooner. My profile pic was a stock photo, but dad is an avid tool collector and has boxes and boxes of those things. Actually he WAS an avid tool collector until mom put the brakes on him because they were running out of room in the house. She understands the passion for collecting, but his addiction was making life a bit difficult. He too is a fan of Stanley anything. Stay well and thanks!

Hey man...thanks for the friend request...of course I accepted! As for sending private messages, this is just fine - but if you truely want to send a private message - use the iKC email - upper right hand corner of your page in the area of your name, sign out, Fried requests, etc...
I wanted to start a formal stand-alone CFK group, but I could not accurately gauge if it would be accepted or not - so I started the it as a sub-group in the Box Full of Knives Box of Knives. I'm glad i did - as I commented to Lead Left Knife Guy , I seem to be the only one playing in that sand box at the moment, and I'm not sure my ego could manage no one join a group! LoL!
Right now it looks like it's just my thread....but if you add a post to it, then it will be as it is intended - a place to appreciate the CFK/iPAC brand.
