This first one is marked made in switzerland and was actually like 5" longer. i cut it down and forged a new tip. I still need to work on the edge but it does have a lot of potential to be a good knife, just needs a sheath.
this next one is in on the top in the photo is going to be a good skinning knife I think. All I have done to that one is sand down the handle which i am going to poly and then i plan to put on nice edge on it or at least attempt to put an edge on it. that one will need a sheath also.

You sure find a lot of treasures at the transfer station Rick.
I'm glad to see they're being put to use instead of wasted. Good for you!

Ed, I am of course always looking for a good deal.
Gorges, I like making old stuff new again. I will try on that word verification.
Rick what is the transfer station?

Wild Ed, basically it is the town dump.
Those knives look to have some real potential. I can't believe someone would just throw them out.
Making an old knife sharp and usable again is always a good thing. I hunt www.peartreegameranch.com for deer. I always need sharp knives, you can sharpen mine anytime, ha ha.
Becky, you would be amazed at what people throw out.
spike, to bad I could not visit peachtree cause then I could sharpen them for you.
