Title: Picked up a couple knives.
Post by: HeelSpur on May 22, 2015, 04:06:53 PM: After Home Depot took me for 2 grand today I hit a garage sale.
Not a whole lot worth looking at but there was a box full of knives for a buck a piece (that's my speed).
First one is a Buck 315 it really caught my attention because I had no clue what it was for.
Its actually a tool, a Marlin Spike for unknotting ropes on yachts or something like that.
And after searching ebay it seems like a good find for a buck.

The second one is a United Boker trapping knife.
Another cool find.

The other two are a Barlow and a Schrade that has MAC Tools on it.
Not bad for 4 bux.

Don't know squat about them myself, a boy down the road from me collects them and I give him a gift a couple times a year. Only bought these because they caught my eye.

I do however usually keep a kershaw blur on me, if not in my truck. My brother got one an as part of a points reward program at the uniform shop he goes to. He didn't want it so gave it to me. I've been hooked on it since. I wasn't happy with the price tag when I had to replace it after fire but it was well worth it.
