I found this bunch of folding knives while cleaning out my parents basement. There is a mix of 13 styles. I don't know a thing about knives. Two are labeled "Kamp King". One is "Be Prepared". One is "Case". Two are have advertising on them. The keychain knife has "USA" on blade and the Kerkorian advertising knife has "Stainless" on one of the blades. One knife is like a little dagger or letter opener style because it doesn't fold up. Most have rust or pitting. Any insight to any of them? Thanks! vscience@yahoo.com
Folding KnivesWe all remember our first folding knife or pocket knife, whether it was a S…
Oh, wow, you're amazing. Let me go back and look again...
For clarity, I added reference numbers. Plus, I added a close-up photo of knife #4
So... Yep, the upper left knife does have a button that releases the blade.
Knife #4 has "Explorer" (?), Edge Mark Japan (on blade), (?)stainless and 11-13 (?) on opposite sides of a blade. Plus, it has a design on the blade. The 5th knife in the first row is yellow on the opposite side and it has "Ka-Bar" on one of the blades.
These knives have been laying at the bottom of a musty basement drawer for many years so all of them are in need of serious cleaning and a lot of TLC.
Many thanks! Nancy
Junk drawer stuff! Mount them in a shadow-box & they would look great on a wall & great conversation piece
