With the success of the 1972 Solingen made Folding Sportsman behind them. Gerber decided to bring production in house. Designated the Folding Sportsman II (2), this model is dimensionally similar to the original Folding Sportsman, but definitely not the same. This model was the longest...

She's still just two years old, but damn good at this hunting thing.

The aforementioned folding hunter was not the rousing success that Gerber hoped it would be. Possibly they saw Buck's success with the 110 and Puma with the 'Game Warden' and wanted to get in on that. So, while they had been making their knives in house since 45 (I think), they reached across...

Gerber folding hunter in checkered walnut - Circa 66 - 72, 73,74 ish... These are uncommon and highly sought after. Rare in new, unused condition with box, sheath and papers. Most believe that it was the first folding knife that Gerber ever made. The problem is that there is rumor (from...

I'm very familiar with Winchester. If I recall, there are three different launches on the east side of the 'lake'. The most northern one being the most popular. My take is that the launch is the launch and it isn't a one truck only kind of place. Way back in the day, when I was a duck hunter...

Even if the truck was a black Toyota Tundra, it wasn't me..........

Pretty basic Swiss Army Knives - All by Victorinox. I believe the first knife I ever owned was a SAK (swiss army knife). I remember carrying it when going on a field trip to MOHAI when I was in pre-school. I was disappointed that my best friend (a girl!) wasn't coming, so I sat in the back of...

I don't haven't hunted the west side since the 80s (for upland), but after looking at the regs again, I don't see anything about that requirement. I did see that they have extended the season at specific sites, but no birds released. I can't find any comment as to why they did this.

I don't disagree with you. Not funny at all. However, I recall taking my hunter safety course at the age of nine, way back in the 70s and one of the things that stuck with me was a retelling of one man shooting another because he thought it was a squirrel or whatever he was trying to hunt...

Kershaw - Random Task - Ken Onion design, speed safe assisted opener. First generation with polished G10 scales. Uncommon, and rare in left hand.

I’m guessing 30s vintage

The most common tang stamp for USA made Boker's is at the bottom right. I can't see yours, but also consider that the scales look more like celluloid that didn't see much use after the 40s. With that said, it could be some other synthetic material, but unlikely to be Delrin, which was...

I don't think it has passed yet. WA Legislature still list's it as illegal. https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=9.41.250

You probably figured out that this is an auto - In WA, not legal to own or carry if you are not LEO, active military or some form of first responder. I would be careful about just handing it over to just anyone, but I don't need to tell you that. ;)

A couple more SAK oddities. The top knife is a Victorinox Recruit with the Scouter emblem. This was part of a short series that was wholesaled out of Canada. The bottom knife is a Wenger with the vague and less descriptive pictogram. Looks like somebody got their hand lopped off, but in fact...

Nice knives. While that Boker has seen a lot of love, I find it to be interesting. Those canted and grooved bolsters and the "Honey and Molasses" celluloid scale pinned flush with nickel silver pins is a sign of high quality. Schrade and Camillus made knives for LL Bean for a long while...

A couple of earlier Swiss Army knives. The top one is by Wenger and has an uncommon and sought after can opener. The bottom one is stamped Elinox. My recollection is that this was a sub line of Victorinox knives that were value oriented. Their lack of finish seems to be more desirable for...

These are snips from two different catalogs in the early 90s. Yours isn't listed. Which would mean that they made at least four different versions. They remained in the catalogs from the 80s through the aughts, but a full fledged new in the box from the 80s has fetched around $300 in recent...

I wouldn't sell it for any less the $100 - It's in good condition as it is, so it wouldn't be too far fetched to see $150. If you had the original box (orange and white, or blue and black), with papers, you can go north of $150. Because yours is a double side serration, there will be more...

There were three different versions of this knife. They were part of his river series.
