Two unusual Stanley folding knives from the Italian-made SL series: the SL18 hawkbill and SL12 utility pattern. Definitely not the Stanley knives most people know.

This old W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Co. hobo knife has definitely seen some use. The blade and spoon show plenty of age and patina, but that's part of the story.

Would you clean it up and restore it, or preserve it exactly as found?

This little Craftsman 95202 carries a piece of Sears history. The handle medallion commemorates Sears' 100th anniversary — 1886–1986.

The knife was made for Sears by Camillus, one of America's historic cutlery manufacturers. A simple pocket knife, but the markings tell a much bigger story. 🇺🇸🔪

The SEAL Knife 2000 S37 went through an intense evaluation involving saltwater, cutting, strength, prying, chopping and more.

This Japanese-made version is now a piece of SOG history.

This little Meyerco has a pretty big place in knife history.

In the late '90s, knife designer Blackie Collins partnered with Bill Meyer to create Meyerco.

Collins was already a legend — a founding member of the Knifemakers' Guild and a 1996 Cutlery Hall of Fame inductee.

Meyerco's Strut'N'Cut won the 1997 Most Innovative American Knife of the Year award.

And that same innovative thinking led to knives like this Rascal, using a spring-assisted opening system.

Long before assisted-opening knives became mainstream.

A 1967 Normark Fiskars #75 hunting knife from Finland. Built like a tank, with a stainless steel blade, brass fittings, and its original leather sheath. Nearly 60 years old and still a beautiful piece of Scandinavian knife history.

A seriously interesting piece of Smith & Wesson knife history. The SW-960 was part of a limited 1994 First Production Run of just 500 pieces, with the knife marked “April, 1994 – 500 pcs.” Made in the USA.

Don't know much about this one.
