All About Pocket Knives

They are used for harvesting herbs and are used by Wiccans/Spiritualist etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boline I had never heard of one until she showed me a picture and asked if I could make some. (She plans on selling them on her online store) Getting an edge inside the curve is a real pain. Th...

So my wife made a request for me to make her some Boline knives. So, I gladly accepted her request and have stared this adventure about 2 months ago. Been doing a lot of reading, had my brother cut some steel blanks for me, and have been purchasing tools. I can see the Harbor Freight Belt 1x30 belt ...

He loves knives so much, he was eating them!

My thoughts exactly in regards to a stamping where you would typically find one. The is nothing there. It is a lock back knife, and there has been some re-pinning. The mother of pearl scales towards the top have pins all the way through that keep the blade from closing entirely. I am confident it is...

5 inches closed.
Miller Bros. Glad to see your still around

Hello all! It has been forever and a day since I have been talking on the forums, although I do check in and read! So I have picked up a new knife, and this one I cannot figure out. It is dated, has stamped scales, as they are the same on both sides, other than one would be upside down. Mother of pe...

Thanks all!
Address sent Bryan! I am a huge fan of the Easy Open pattern. Look forward to this gem!

Thanks all!

I could see Y-B's as a possible, looks like it may have worn away

With a Y-B Search I found this one: http://www.americanedgeknives.com/image ... 00x500.jpg

It has been ages since I have posted!
However I have picked a couple knives I have been researching and can find no info.
Any ideas on what company had this stamp? It says I-D Cigars

Thanks for any help received!

$400 was the asking price of this relic... It is neat looking but I can't say I could spend that money on a knife in this bad of shape, with no evidence of any historical significance.

This knife is in a local antique store, and the tag states it was found at Ft. Sumner, no scales, and as you can see the old pocket knife has seen better days.
Any guesses on the price they are asking for this item?

Picture was taken with a camera phone so not the greatest!

The pavillion, the 1st building to the right as you pull in, there are signs so you can't miss it. Admission is $5, Sunday is 10am-4pm. Ardie's Coins booth has a PAL knife that was decent, Easy Open pattern, cracked handle and some wear and tear, they were askin $15 which I think it should be about ...

Huff's Antique show at the Metra in Billings. There is one booth with many knives, but he knows what he has and they are priced accordingly. There was a Marbles Safety knife priced at about $850 there as well. I paid no more than $20 for the schrade which was the most expensive of my purchases. The ...

Well it has been forever since I have shared any knife news! So went to the antique show today and purchased these knives and my January Knife giveaway prize arrived in the mail today! So overall a good day for knife collecting! They are: American ACE, Hibbard-Spencer & Bartlett, Iroquois, Krusi...

AWESOME Finally won something ater all these years!
Hope all is doing well, and I apologize for not being active on the site, been working alot, and getting ready to transition from Military back to civilian life after 20 years.

That Miller Bros knife I picked up at a great price at an antique show
I am fairly certain the scales are ivory as well.
I have yet to put it under the magnifying glass to try and confirm.

If its got a powder blue handle, it is a japanese knife that tried to capitalize on the bicentenial run of knifes.

It has been some time since I have posted any new knife pictures, but here are a couple I can share that I have got over the past year.
