All About Pocket Knives

Thanks johnnie! Been busy playing moderator at one of the "other" places, but its always a pleasure to drop by here.

Thanks, justold! Thats a fine looking Mini-Skinner you got.

You know...I try to stay away from Jim...but eventually he sucks me back in. He's devious.

Yikes, upnorth! My wife loves jet and has a couple of nice knives of her own.

A jet handled knife might be a "perfect storm"!

It was also used in jewelry as a substitute for jet.

Which is how my wife stumbled across the knife. She was looking for gutta percha jewelry. And she bought it for me.

It was a win-win! She didn't buy more jewerly...and I got a knife!

Very interesting smiling-knife! Thank you.

I knew you were the fellas to talk to. Always nice to have a new slipjoint to chat with you guys about.

Haven't had the opportunity in a while.

In addition to the Keen Kutter in the other thread, also came into this pretty little engraved EKA slippie. Again, any info/comments welcome...especially as to what the pattern is called...is it a lobster? Thanks! http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa273/jmarcinek/knifepix/engraved004.jpg http://i19...

Just came into possession of this Keen Kutter, in what is, I believe, gutta percha. Nice knife...really walks and talks, has a solid half stop... The tang stamp reads E.C.SIMMONS KEEN KUTTER ST.LOIUS MO. Any info/comments welcome. Thanks! http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa273/jmarcinek/knifepix/g...

Hey Jim...as usual...beauties!

Very, very sad news. My thoughts and prayers go out to his loved ones.

John

Wow! Those are something else! Really like that ebony, Jim!

I agree with you texastony! I have a Ranger Afghan (basically a drop point RD) and its a great knife that I love, but I wouldn't try to fillet a trout with it!

Maybe chop a trout in half!

I've never heard ANY complaints about RAT texastony!

Though, good arguments can also be made for Ranger, Bark River, Fallkniven, Busse, etc being the best non-custom outdoor/tactical fixed blades out there.

They're all great knives...Kinda a Ranger fan, myself.

I have seen them before, Jim, and they make nice knives at great prices!

Their website had been down and I was worried they had gone out of business or something.

Its great news to hear and to see that they are still up and running.

Thanks for the update!!!

Particulary nice one there Jim ! I'm sure you had to use as much of your salesmanship skills on yourself to keep that one as you had to use on us to buy 'em. That is...not much salesmanship skills. Man those are nice....mine, along with my gunstock and my wifes 2 blade congress are proudly on displa...

She's a beauty Jim! Congratulations! Excellent catch!

That is a beauty! I'd love to be able to get my hands on a "Ole Dave-made" Northwoods knife myself one day!

Congrats and enjoy, and thanks for sharing the pix!

Very nice looking knive Dave!

Jim! You been visiting Ole Dave again?!? Seems like every time you go up to the UP you come back with a beautiful Ruana.

Very, very nice knife.

Very nice! Thanks for sharing the pix.

I'd be happy to carry any one of those every day!

Nice set of Northwoods Don!

I tell you what, I've bought a few Northwoods knives from Forensic Jim, but he's never had to sell me one!

Great to have you with us Ron!

That is one unfriendly looking knife, Mitch.

You think some yellow delrin scales would make it more friendly looking?

Probably not!

Great to have you with us Dave!

More beauties sunburst! Congrats. You really hit the bonanza today!
