Back when Schrade had just closed… And the name was bought not long after by Taylor.. I was busy running around, trying to find these knives at pawnshops hardware stores( my dad cleaned out the hardware store spent just over $2000 on the entire stock… but that’s another story) .. Anyways, I was not in a hurry. I drove over and around west of Atlanta out to Alabama on my route of elevator maintenance…. This was end of the day and I was driving back home.. pawnshop I never stopped at… hole in the wall.. Anyways… I was just talking with owner.. I didnt see anything worth while in the case.. But he told me he might have something I might be interested in… he went out to his car n returned with a sack of schrade schrade Walden hunters … one was well used others new condition . 7 or 8 . Some had two blades I think two had liner locks . One new one had custom stag handles ( nicely done) . Pawn owner said his friend just wanted to get rid of them. I tried to hide my excitement .. he gave me a give away deal .. I think 20 or 25 apiece . I think he just wanted this favor over with . One of my once n a life time deals … I had three others but not knife related. If u don’t go fishing u don’t catch any thing.
I was able to pick up a few at that time but I wish I had gotten more. That's a fantastic story. Those kinds of deals are what everybody hopes for. Thanks for sharing that!!😃👍🏻
Nice old western!!!! Beautiful!!
That was a great find! Pristine condition!👌
I'm done with them due to QC issues on last 3 knives I purchased. Bad grinds, defects on the points of 2 and poor blade centering.
I sure hope that they re-focus and get a grip on things.
@@tedhart7708 me too. Seems to have been a problem for a while now.
Nice job on the clean up! It comes thru that you enjoy it! God bless you and your family! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for those kind words! It was a special project. Glad you checked it out!😃👍🏻
That is exciting!
Thanks for watching and leaving some comments!😃👍🏻
That was a cliff hanger ! Glad not worse!
It was like a punch in the gut when it hit the concrete floor! So thankful nothing broke.
Beautiful! I’m a big camillus fan. Good job n thanks for sharing!
Camillus made some great knives. Thanks for watching!👍🏻
@@tedhart7708 I’m a big fan of the blade forums camillus collector forums … love these knives … been able to get better deals on old camillus as compared to case… every one wants an arm n leg for beat up case … so unless I see a case for heck of a deal . I don’t touch them .. I just pick up schrade n camillus usa
Nothing at all wrong with that. Those old Schrades are pretty awesome knives. I have a few of those, too.
Excellent job my friend! That is night and day! Sorry you dropped it, but like you said, it could've been worse.
Thanks! I appreciate that. It would have been devastating if the blade or one of the implements had snapped. Don't know what I would've done!😫
Nice Restoration Ted 👍 cool old Bone Camillus’. Stay Cool
Thanks! I appreciate that. It was exciting to get the knife and to see it clean up so well!😄
The camp type knives are my favorite! Thanks for sharing it!
Thank you for checking it out! They are some pretty cool knives!😃👍🏻
Great looking knife! Great job restoring this one Ted!!
Thanks, I appreciate that. It was a fun and satisfying project!
It looks much better than it did yesterday.
I agree! It sure does. Thanks for checking it out!👍🏻
Doesn't look like the same knife - great job!👍👍
Saw your other comment first. I guess you did see both!😜
@@tedhart7708 Yes, I did.😃
Looks great to be about 90 years old! I am so glad you gave it new life!
It turned out great! I'm glad you found it and let me clean it up. I'll bring it when we come up next!!😃👍🏻 Did you see both parts?
@@tedhart7708 👍
Quite an improvement! Good job!!
Thank you so much!😃👍🏻
POST DISASTER!
Part two will be coming right up!
Nice little piece of American history there Ted. I can't wait to see the finished product!
Thanks for checking it out. Getting ready to post the cleanup shortly!!
That’s a gem, all it needs is some polishing.
Thanks for checking it out. Cleanup video coming up shortly!!😃
Welcome.
Very nice knife. I'm not sure but I've read where usa on those is united states army but not sure
Seems like I remember reading that, too. Camillus did make knives for military use. Thanks for checking it out!👍🏻
Gorgeous knife you have there. I have always loved the 4 line tang stamped Camillus knives, especially the wwII era knives. Can't wait to see that one cleaned up 😊 Take care and God bless you and yours ✝️ 🙏
Thank you! I appreciate your comments. I'm excited to see how it turns out!😃👍🏻
That's happened to me before, had to start over. That's a great lookin knife!
Thanks for taking a look. I'm really looking forward to how it turns out!🙂
Ooooooo very awesome
Thanks! Looking forward to seeing the change!👍🏻
Boy Scouts of America (BSA). Can’t wait to see it cleaned up. Thanks for sharing.
Turns out it actually says "USA" on the shield. And the tang stamp shows that it's a 4 line Camillus!!😃👍🏻
Beautiful old knife!
Thanks for checking it out! I'm excited about it!👍🏻
coolio...will look dang fine
It definitely has some promise!🙂
That’s gonna be so pretty when you’re all finished with it. I can’t wait to see it!
I'm really excited about cleaning this one up and seeing how it turns out! Thanks, Aaron.😃👍🏻
I can hardly wait to see what you do to it. I was afraid to even open it in case I damaged it even more. I didn't realize the blade was chipped either! Good luck, Bud, I know you will bring it back to life! ♥
Barring a disaster, it's gonna look great. Glad you sent it to me. It's gonna be a fun project. I'm excited!!
Nice knife
Thanks for checking it out!!👍🏻
That’s going to look great! Have fun with it!
Thanks, Dwayne! I'm excited to work on this one!
Wow! That’s a beautiful piece
Thank you! It's gonna look good!
Nice project knife! 😊
I'm looking forward to it. Thanks for checking it out!
it could be counterfeit, not saying it is but people today. send it to case and complain
This knife came from Smokey Mountain Knife Works. I don't doubt its authenticity. It just seems to be a current problem that Case needs to address. Thanks for watching!😃👍🏻
I noticed the Case also has a short pin. Should have been $30.00.
You're right. It's well below the surface on both sides.
You said it all. Still a good show , thx u
Thanks for watching!👍🏻😃
Your not being picky, the fact is a 15.00 china made knife from rough Ryder often has a better fit and finish record then our USA made case knives. I try to avoid giving my money to case anymore due to the quality of there knives.
Thanks for watching. It would be interesting to hear Case address the concerns of its customers.
I’ve bought several new Case knives here lately and seeing everyone’s knives and hearing their complaints, I just expect them to be off and I get happy when they ain’t. I buy too many off of eBay so I never see them till they show up in the mailbox. Most of what I’ve gotten have been pretty good. I like that trapper. Wish it came to you better shape. That culpepper is sweet! It’s a pretty knife! I have one but I can’t think of what type of scales it has. I’ve packed it several times. They are good knives!
I'm glad to hear that you're finding some good Cases. I never have been much of an eBay shopper. I don't have anything against it, I just never have done it. There seems to be some pretty good deals on there if you're willing to hunt them down. But, that trapper will be a good user. I've got it sharpened and I'm not worried about it getting some dings and scratches. Thanks for watching, brother.😃👍🏻
It's probably a run that was better than a factory second that SMKW sold for a discount price. They're perfect for users.
Its usability isn't affected. I sharpened those rough blades and it's good to go. Just not up to Case standards cosmetically. Thanks for watching!
Case's quality control is definitely lacking. I sure hope they tighten it up before it's too late. Great video!
You're right about that! I've decide that I'm not ordering any more on line unless they are on super sale. Just gonna have to visit Red Hill a little more often so that I can hand pick. Thanks for watching, brother!
I hate to say it, but my 15 dollar rough ryder denim canoe from Amazon is much better in fit and finish than 75 dollar to 100 dollar Cases I own. Plus they have lots of cool new styles and materials all the time which you can try out and collect affordably. My RR glow in the dark half hawk is so much nicer than my Case sod busters. I used to think at least Case knives are an investment and will go up in value so it justifies the price. Outside of vintage ones, I am not so sure of that anymore. I am afraid newer ones aren't good as users or as collector items. Things seemed to have gotten better around 2020, then quality control diminished again. I have gotten bad ones in the mail. Would never get one sight unseen, and my local shop has slowly ended up having only old stock flawed ones with gaps blade rub etc. They have been gone through and not bought, and they stopped buying new ones feeling that nobody buys them anymore and they are no longer in demand. Truth is we picked the bones. Just my opinion, but we vote with our purchases.
I have several RR's from years ago that I really like. There are some new ones that are pretty nice but I just don't like that giant "R" on the bolster. Some of their special collections that don't have that on them have caught my eye but they're getting up around $40. I've recently gotten some very good deals on Bear and Son and USA made Kershaws. Gonna be looking for more of them!
That's exactly what I tell my wife, every time I tell her its my last one, and guess what she thinks im full of crap but she still luvs me go figure 😂😂
🤣 My wife's pretty tolerant of my hobbies, too. She never gives me any grief.😃👍🏻
IMHO , the quality control department at Case is sleeping on the job and I’m a die hard Case fan
I love Case knives. Hoping they tighten things up before it's too late!
Thanks for the closer look at this one! I had been curious!
Very good tunes!! Wish i could have been there!!
Well thats unfortunate. I may have returned that case and tried again. But you may have gotten one with blades off center. Kershaw makes a great slipjoint! I have more than a few. Thanks for sharing!
It's like a box of chocolates with Case nowadays!😜 Thanks for watching.👍🏻
I just bought the same knife a few days ago. The steel on mine was so soft I'm not sure if it was ever heat treated. It was so bad I just threw it away. No knock on Case. I have dozens of them and they all hold an edge. But that one...
I haven't tried sharpening yet. Just stuck it back in the box and put it away. It'll become a utility knife. We'll see how the steel holds up. Appreciate you watching.
Yours is not the first video I’ve seen where terrible Case knife quality was shown for all to see. What’s going on at Case..?
I sure do hope that they turn it around!
Those Culpeppers are for sure nice. Sorry about your Case Trapper. I recently had a bad experience with one of their new Canoes. It certainly is a shame.
Overall, the trapper's ok. It's just that it's a Case and should be better.
Leve the pen blade it looks like a coping blade
