All About Pocket Knives

Another beauty bigfoot, I mean Sasquach. I confuse the two.

Thanks Ivoryman.

Don't worry about your "confusion"....two different names that refer to the same mythical critter.

Here's a Queen I'm fond of....

An excellent photo of a lovely knife.

Beautiful knife Squach, great wood and blade. Wow.
I used to think Bigfoot around here was a myth. Then I read about the thousands of footprints found with dermal ridges, each one different like a fingerprint. Hard to figure how a hoaxer would do that. Then they found hair samples with DNA that's not man or Ape DNA. A Dr. Meldrum from Idaho who is the pre-eminent authority on Bigfoot came out with footprints with injuries, anatomically correct injuries, that are accurate, who fakes that? Teddy Roosevelt had an encounter with one, was convinced they are real. The Patterson film was supposedly deemed a hoax too, but now further forensic study of it show it has breasts like a female, and a herniated bulge on the thigh and variable hair length contoured around different muscles. How is a hoaxer going to do all that with a gorilla suit? And the Native Americans have known about him for thousands of years, not hundreds like the pale faces. The Native tribes around here believe he's real, they lived here longer than us, they were more intimately involved with the natural creatures and environment, and to them it's no myth. Made me re-think it anyway and now I'm not so sure. Funny you mention it.

Well Ivoryman, I said mythical because that's what most people believe. Personally I think that there are a great many things out there that we have not yet discovered and Sasquach/Bigfoot could be one of them. I spent some time in your neck of the woods and I am from the desert southwest so I am well aware of how much wilderness there is out there and how much of it is basically unexplored. I've gone out hunting in the deep wilderness for weeks at a time and the only sign of other humans I saw the whole time was the occasional airplane flying over. The possibility that there is something out there we haven't seen before that gives rise to Bigfoot stories isn't out of the question. There are stories of a Bigfoot like creature as far south as the mountains of northern Arizona.

I picked this up at the Tulsa show last weekend. Is anyone familiar with the maker's mark? I can't find anything in any of my reference material, or on the internet.

Good answer Sasquach. I concur.

Love the Queens here are few club knives I have

Loooooovvvvvee the color of the bones on the top two Outkast, and the middle one, the S&M on the bottom pic. Of course the bone stag is cool too, but the color of those kind of Honey Amber type bones and that jigging put the salivary glands in overdrive.

Hi Outcast,
Those are some lovely knives you are showing there, particularly the Outers. I don't know what it is about the Outers style, but it just grabs me.
They are only a small knife but that style just seems to stand out to me. I think the design is over 100 years old, and i would like to see some more of the modern knife makers make a model.
If i remember when i get home i will put a few of mine on here.
Many thanks for showing your treasures,
Tony.

Outstanding knives, Outcast!!

Here's a small Imperial Frontier #412. I guess you'd call it a bird & trout knife.

Thank you everyone. I think I made a post here a few years back with some of my outers. I need to take some new pics but here a couple of old ones. Just a taste I have all kinds Imperial, Remington, Robeson, Western, Marbles, and many others.

A couple more a few newer Marbles and others.

Maybe over Christmas Holidays I'll get those Queens outta safe and take some better pics for you. I need take better pics of them all again. my way of keeping up with what I've got saved on computer hard drive, on a flash drive. So I have records if anything ever happens. I need to make a file of what I've paid got most written down in a book but that doesnt help much if there was a fire.

Here's my first Robeson with original sheath.

Suggest double clicking to enlarge the photo.

Westerns and a Utica

Man...this thread just keeps on showing sooo many cool-mc-cool fixed blades does it not !!!

Here is 2 recent buys of mine:
Total Recall push dagger customized with Stag scales and made into a slick little boot knife
and:
A little hand forged knife with crown stag and neat sheath that came in a lot of knives from a indian rez
I wish I knew how old the knife itself was, but I just went bonkers when I picked it up, wish it could talk

This is some of my Schrade Fixed Blade knives.

Stagman, beauties, love the dagger and the other one with the antler crown. Even the beadwork on the sheath. Very cool.
Koldgold, that first picture is beautiful. So many very classy handles and love the drop points. Excellent group.
