All About Pocket Knives

Thanks guys for the input just looking for more and more ideas

Just recently I got a couple (eight) fixed blades and I got them for the purpose of trading and selling. So what do you store and carry your fixed blades in? I tried a knife roll and found the elastic loops too tight. normally I carry my folders in a tackle box because of the individual spaces. Just...

German military issue knife from late '60s-late 70's

That is it , I knew that someone here would know what it was. Thanks a lot Swiss Man

What knife this is that I have seen wanted and now can't find one pic or info on it anywhere. It was a German fixed blade about 9 inches overall with a 4" OD green plastic/nylon handle (shaped like a Coke a Cola bottle) with a 5" blade single edge. Very stout looking blade also I have went...

Just picked this up at a pawn shop, I think I got a good deal ($25.00) but then again I can't find it anywhere. So who knows about Kissing Crane and this model? Rattlesnake Skinner and KC3 are etched on the blade. The tang stamp is light but it is the kissing cranes and ROBI KLAAS Solingen. Thanks S...

When my wife and I went on a cruise last year my friend asked me "What dress knife are you taking for the Captain's dinner?" I shrugged and told her I didn't really think about it so I guess I will take a small Victorinox Classic with me. Her eyes rolled back in her head and she informed m...

Thanks for the info, I have looked up and down this blade and tang several times using a jewelers loop I can not find any other marking. I would only assume that the pattern number would have been stamped and the Frozen Heat would have just been a etch? I got this in a trade with 6 other knives (bot...

Here are a few quotes that I found insightful and amusing and I am glad to see that I am not the only one that “buys knives I already have.” ______________________________________________________________________ "too many knives, too mini money". Hell I've got at least twenty five knives w...

The best solution is education, but it's hard for a new collector to learn without getting burned. AMEN to that ::tu:: I was always a user of knives but I started collecting when I was in my mid twenties. One place I was working had an older gentlemen that knew that I liked knives so one night he b...

I would take these 3 and feel pretty good about it. The old Kabar has been reliable for a long time. Top guard was cut off on the advice of my good friend. He had just got back from Iraq (first war) and said cutting the top guard off makes it easier/safer to use the knife in the dark. He being a co...

I just picked up a fixed blade Robeson and I can't find this tang mark anywhere.

All it says is ROBESON on one side and nothing on the other.

Just picked up a 1999 49 W for $25.00 Excellent condition (light scratches if any). I keep reading that these are RARE but no one can tell me anything else about them. I wrote Case and they haven't replied so now I ask you guys / gals who knows about these? What years were they made how many pieces ...

I'm new here what is a Roundtable?

I only have a couple German knives (Swiss Army / German Army knife) and a De Preese but it's a 1885 and it isn't going anywhere.

Somehow, the bail on that knife just doesn't look right. A knife that well made should have a bail on it that looks like it was meant to be there. I think Swiss Man said his was without the bail. After I wrote ORVET I looked at the pics again and that is when I started suspecting that the bail is a...

I got a 6.5 Case stockman the other day (small tip damage on spey blade) for $20.00.

Never held a sow belly stockman looks like it would fit great one way uncomfortable the other.

But I am sure that I am wrong.

Thank you ORVET I give you a holler in a couple days.

There are several good answers here and a lot of thought but I think this one fits me best.

THEY ARE JUST COOL AND THEY ARE A TOOL NOT A WEAPON.

I like Schrade but I always preferred Camillus. Too bad both are gone.

Shamelessly stoled these pics fron E BAY (my pics stink) the only difference between them and mine is I don't have a bail and the tang stamp has.

Thanks for any info. Swiss Man

New here and would like to ask a question.

I have a John Primble Belknap Inc. USA Model #7007.

I have heard that Schrade made some John Primble knives. Is there any truth to this and can
someone tell me about what year this was produce?

Thanks Swiss Man

Also is there a John Primble forum?
