Title: estate sale across the street yesterday
Post by: kxxr on July 17, 2011, 04:06:22 PM

I got these gems for $4.25 yesterday. My favorites are the W. Rose leather knife and the MasterWrench. I was also in the pawn shop yesterday and they had Craftsman's recent version of the MasterWrench on hand there in a set of 3. They were of the laminated steel technique that Cman does and if I remember right, they were called "ClenchWrench".

The head knife by itself is worth so much more than what you paid!  Everything you got is really cool, but I like
the head knife and that small pair of pliers best of all.  Do the jaws have a  plain grasping surface?

Yes the jaws are smooth, with no mfr markings that i can see. So, that's what it's called? a Head knife?

Osborne lists two knives like this.  One is listed as a round knife, while the other is listed as a head knife.
Their "round knife" is heavier, and a half inch wider, point to point.  Otherwise I see no difference.  I've
always used "head knife" for all that share this shape.

The pliers are suitable for jewelry work with those smooth if they are not specifically designed for such.

That socket does appear to be a Mossberg spark plug socket.

Do the pliers have a box joint?
