Bought Some Vintage Knives at Garage Sales

I found a few things at my last knife hunt.


Kamp-King Folding Pocket Knife
I bought this old Kamp-King knife. It is a fairly light weight knife — probably an inexpensive knife when it was first sold.


Wusthof Model 4000 Paring Knife
Bought this Wusthof paring knife.


Fixed Blade Imperial Knife and Vintage Hand Pruners
Last is a fixed blade knife and old hand pruners.

The knife is marked:  Imperial Prov, RI USA. 

The hand pruners are marked: Ward's Master. These hand pruners seem old, and they are massively heavy forged steel — but the nut that hold the hinge bolt is a self-locking nut. I don't know when these self-locking nut hit the market, all I can say is that all the old tools I have sharpened don't have the locking nuts.

The Wusthof knife will be put up on eBay, the Imperial knife will come with me on my mobile knife sharpening route; the pruners will probably just be put in a box (so sad...).
