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.
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.
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.
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. 👍
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
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!
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!
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!

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