  • Just wanted to show some of the finds at my local antique flea market. I love the thrill of not knowing what you’ll possibly find when you walk through those doors.

    Nice. I've got an old Frontier lockblade I bought at a gun show back in the 70's.

    Great finds. Fyi the cigar boxes work great. I usually put some felt or thin leather in the bottom of the box for help with the sliding around. Good video!

    A total joy, I saw a lot of the electricians knives and didn't know that was what they were...😊

      There is also a very similar model called the TL-29, which was a military issued knife.

    I had a nice Frontier knife it had a yellow handle that I put in the honesty box at Fort Jackson SC in 1979 during zero week in basic training. I think I was the only recruit that done what I was told that day. I miss having that knife to this day.

    Love those imperial frontiers, made by camillus actually, on contract. One of the ways you can tell they’re camillus, is the one sided swedge on the clip point, and the match strike nail nick, normally aren’t on imperials. I got hooked on slip joints when I started buying rough Ryders a few years back, and that in turn made me look for vintage knives, that all those rough Ryders were based off of. Pretty cool about dating the Kleins, I have a rope knife, a hawkbill, and a triple blades electrician knife, and was wondering about the dates, cuz I’ve noticed capital letters but didn’t know what they denoted. That featherweight Girl Scout is a good find, although I wouldn’t consider it a moose pattern, it’s more of an equal end pen knife, but that’s semantics I guess. Moose is more of a trapper with the blades on each end, usually a clip blade and spear or Spey blade same size. But thanks for sharing, love seeing what other ppl get. That easy open is sweet too, I need to get one of those. One of the few patterns I don’t own. Keep up the good work

    • @AWCustomDesigns
      @AWCustomDesigns  17 днів тому

      Thank you for the clarifications! I appreciate that!
      And the Klein dating system is kinda strange. It started in the middle of the alphabet..then they skipped a few letters..then they decided to just start the alphabet over after Z instead of moving to a double letter system.
      So my “X” could technically be either a 1986 or a 2011.
      Thanks for checking in!

    The back springs will eventually break by opening all the blades together at the same time.

    The "end of days" Camillus knives have terrible fit and finish. Some of them even have the tang stamp ground off.

    You need to show me how you did that jigging. If not a full video at least explain the process. It's eating me alive.

    • @AWCustomDesigns
      @AWCustomDesigns  20 днів тому +1

      It’s actually really easy. I used one of those cylinder shaped sanding bits in my dremel…hold the bit on an angle when you dremel the handles. Do that down one side, then come back down the other.
      If it helps, you could even draw a line down the center of the handle so you know where to stop when dremeling.
      Maybe I can do a quick short showing how I did it…

    • @cheesymoonworkshop
      @cheesymoonworkshop 19 днів тому

      I was picturing a cone shaped dremel burr. Yes, a short would be cool.
