A lot of church keys and bottle openers. They aren't really something I collect, but they are cheap. I mostly collect old defunct beer brands, even though I don't drink. Really, there were only two I bought it for, the old Genesee Beer opener with Prestolite key (which means it's very old) and the one marked "Mark C", which appears homemade. Most of these beers I've never even heard of before.

I collect the small SD-sized SAKs (or SAK-a-likes) with automotive or gasoline advertising on them. My most recent acquisition is a Shell knife, and it's still on the way.



I also snagged a Wenger Swiss Grip for probably too much money. I've seen a few go for $75 BIN in the history, but I've been keeping a watch and I never saw one of those for sale. They were listed and disappeared quickly. I've also seen several go for seemingly stupid money, and then there are a bunch that are just listed at high buy it nows. I got this one for $140. Probably spent too much. Feeling a little buyer's remorse for dropping that kind of cash, actually. What do you think? Was it a fair deal?



Then I went ahead and snagged two Schrade Century Steward knives as stocking stuffers. One CN31 (red) and a CN35 (green). I've been enjoying my green one very much, it's part of my rotating EDC... in fact it's in my pocket more often than any other knife I own. And they're cheap... $6.50 for the green one! Plus apparently Victorinox doesn't make a 91mm waiter anymore. So if I got a new one from Vic, it'd be $17 instead of $6.50, and the smaller 84mm size.

I'm curious Charles, where did you find those Century Stewards?   Another thing I noticed with the Steward, is that unlike most of the Century series, it is not named after a NASA Spacecraft.

Well, actually half of them aren't named after NASA spacecraft. The 91mm knifes are named Steward, Pulsar, Omega, Mercury, Gemini, Orion, Apollo, Galaxy, and Endeavor. Then the smaller SD-sized knives are Genesis and Star. The later mini alox style is Discovery.  They could have easily renamed Steward, Pulsar, Omega, Galaxy, Genesis, and Star to correspond to NASA spacecraft if that was their goal. Seems more like a celestial theme, with some spacecraft names thrown in. (Note that Genesis is a spacecraft, but the knives pre-date it by 8 years).  Steward and Omega don't have a particular celestial tie-in. I wonder if there's some sci-fi reference that we're missing, perhaps?

At any rate, I got the knives off of eBay. Somebody is going through a glut of these unused NOS knives. They're in original boxes too, but the boxes are from other knives somehow. I can read through the labels and see other models or colors listed under the sticker. I ended up winning bids on both of the Steward knives for $6.50, as I was the only bidder. I've been carrying a green Steward for months now, which I bought for myself. I liked it well enough that I wanted to get more for Christmas gifts :)

I've got some white 91mm and 84mm scales coming... an old but new Bantam, and a new phone.  Hopefully my pic game will soon be upped.

I had that problem with some knives I bought once. Someone at the post office where the seller was located pilfered them, and my local post office, a good 3 hours from this seller, still wanted to blame the seller, even though I'd purchased things about a half a dozen times without a hitch.   Talk about covering up for coworkers misdeeds.

An IDL T10, looks like the older model with the company name and tool name imprinted in the hub of the tool?  In the same lot another Carolina/Gerber clone. Plus nine other cheerful cheapies.
