This week's carry, a vintage Colonial. Oiled up the old whetstone and put a nice edge on it, then promptly proved its quality by cutting one of my big thick fingers. Ack!
That one I'm pretty sure I picked up at an antique store, so depends on what you could negotiate. As long as it is undamaged and restorable, maybe fifteen or twenty bucks, cash.
Nice. What would one like that go for these days?

DeleteIt was waiving my hand around stupidly while holding the knife with an open blade with the other hand. Ouch!
DeleteYup, "sneaky sharp" sums it up perfectly, who hasn't suffered a good finger cut, carrying a knife always.
