Unboxing a $55 group of old pocket knives I bought on eBay - lot vintage knife

Check out these knives that I purchased for $45 + tax & shipping on eBay from one lot. The pictures and description weren’t the best but I thought they had potential. I took a chance on them and snatched them up before someone else did. Watch the video to see what knives came in this lot…

    I'm pretty sure that vet knife is an "equestrian knife" meant for horse care - the hook thing is for clearing stones from shoes and hooves, not cutting. While I'm at it - most sources seem to list the blade style as "Spey" and the surgery as "Spay". I think its more a rounded point so you don't poke through something. For example, most trapper folding knives have a pointed blade for disputing animals on the trap line, and a rounded one for skinning without putting extra holes in the pelt.

    The WWII era jack knife is really similar to one of mine: I inherited it from my grandfather who brought it home from the South Pacific in WWII: it’s a US Navy medical kit circa 1942, made by Camillus. I have the accompanying scalpel too. Yours is in better condition than mine was when I got it! It was rusted shut. I’m in the process of restoring it.

    I bet the camp knife is a Kingston. They were often stamped USA with no makers mark. I think the Schrade Walden has French Ivory covers. The Utica is nice.

    I just found your channel. I think the Camp Buddy is an Imperial. I have a Boy Scout that's similar. I just acquired a Bruckmann pearl handle knife with no scratches, no rust . It does have a manicure blade. I can tell it's been used. I done a little reaserch. Your little pearl handle knife may be your oldest of the bunch.

    If you were going for interesting you definitely got that! I'm sure the vets knife was equestrian too, I've seen many equestrian knives from Victorian British made one's to modern and they look like that, a right angle at the end. I'm lead to believe Buck will replace that blade if you send it to them.
