Flea Market Knife Finds!

[@williambennett4444]

Man we love all the same things. I also love frying pans, i dont know if you do but i just love them

[@blademan175]

Yes, nothing like a good skillet! I also love my large Dutch oven but only get to use about once a year because it’s so big and it’s just me and my wife I cook for. I should look for a smaller one and then I would use it more often. Thanks for watching!

[@craigbeins]

Some good finds!

[@blademan175]

Yes, thanks brother!

[@r.tomrobison8307]

I enjoy old knife finds. If only you could get the story on them. That little one that was sharpened so much. What a story. Looking forward to what you do for it.

[@blademan175]

Yes, it is amazing the stories these knives could tell!

[@patrickshannon4854]

The greatest treasures I’ve ever gotten from a flea market was a Will & Fink razor & an Ek dagger from an antique store. I love restoring vintage knives. The early WW2 military utility fixed blades are available for $5-30. Pal, Remington, keenkutter. All great knives made of good steel. They are better than many modern knives selling for more than $100+. Plus there’s the fun, as I don’t have to tell you.

[@blademan175]

Yes, love to find bargains and love the old school knives! Thanks!

[@georgebramblett6078]

It's alot of fun finding old butcher knives and cleaning them up you can definitely find some jems out there

[@blademan175]

Yes, I've been able to find some great finds in the past few years!

[@bluetoad2001]

bargain on the little Kinfolks fixed blade 👍✅😎🔪

[@blademan175]

I worked on it today, love that little knife! Vid on it soon!

[@lowrangeoverland9013]

Nice score ‼️💯🏆

[@blademan175]

Thanks and thanks for watching!

My father had a hawkbill just like that. He used it for years and broke the handles on it. He cut the side out of an old tire and cut new handles out fo the rubber to make new handles. He used it for years after that. He passed away in 1975 and my older brother got the knife and after he passed away his daughter gave the knife away. I'd be interested in buying that knife id you decide to sell it. Cool video many thumbs up.

[@blademan175]

I don't plan on selling it, thanks for the offer!

[@williambennett4444]

Awsome. Yea its jiust my wife n i also. But those frying pans geterdone🙂

[@666toysoldier]

All my kitchen knives are carbon steel/walnut/brass riveted, picked up at yard sales and flea markets. I picked up a late-production Japanese bayonet from a couple of young guys who didn't know what they had, and sold it for a tidy profit to a neighbor who had a WWII Arisaka.

[@blademan175]

That’s a great story, thanks for sharing!

[@matthewcochran3325]

The K1940 HS 8 is a Shapleigh's brand often sold out of Blackburn tools catalogs designed in 1940 but sold into the 60s with that marking. Good find! I went to 3 flea markets looking specifically for Old Hickory and found nothing! Apparently those are cool now

[@blademan175]

While cleaning it up I also noticed a keen kutter stamp in the handle. Yes, I guess old hickory is getting more and more sought after since Ontario knife company closed. Thanks for watching!

[@Chris-eo9kh]

Nice finds. Regarding the one sided swedge on that hammer forged knife, I rescued an old Queen slicing knife with a bone handle from a box of junk once, and it had the same odd swedge. Not sure what the reason is though.

[@blademan175]

In an old catalog from 1939 they called it crucible steel with a swaged blade. It does make the tip sharper but may have just been for looks? Regardless, I love it! I bet that Queen was a beauty, thanks for sharing!

[@The-Armed-Pacifist]

Nice finds. That hawk bill is super and you got it at a great price.

[@blademan175]

Thanks, my last video shows it restored with a case!

[@CuttingEdgetools]

Hey Dave. Thanks for sharing. I’m with ya on the crazy prices in some of these places. Cool score on those knives. No doubt you’ll do a jam up job That little bird & fish. Great score on those butcher’s. 👍

[@Rick-us7tx]

Ringo to ya!!!

[@johnmcmahon2920]

Been trying to buy an old hickory. Not having any luck ..if you no were I mite beable to pick one up .would be much appreciated. Thanks

[@blademan175]

Endeavor to persevere! It’s rare that I see them anymore. I don’t do a lot of garage sales, maybe that’s the best place anymore? Good luck hunting!

[@arthurholmes2210]

What about kitchen knives marked "Stewart " ?

[@blademan175]

If it’s Stewart handmade they are great vintage carbon steel knives. Usually walnut handles and very well made. Not too much history I found on the company but they seem to have been in business 1920’s-30’s and maybe later, thanks for watching!

[@RogueBlade-w5]

yo... watch all your videos, great content. I believe we are fellow Floridians, just wondering where is a 100+ acre flea market? I need a new adventure & that could be it thanks Rogue Blade...out!

[@blademan175]

Rennigers, Mt. Dora. I went on a day when they were having an antique extravaganza…packed! I’ll be there Saturday after thanksgiving selling tools. Thanks!

[@stephenjsmart4758]

Well if you cant afford them , dont buy them

[@gregmartin1757]

The hawkbill was a knife commonly used by electricians atleast it was back when i got into the trade in the 70's .pretty much every electrician carried one . Not used as much today by the newer generation.

[@blademan175]
