All About Pocket Knives

This is an Edgemaster, works very well also. Ken

Interesting topic...I have a collection of 80 antique celluloid handled knives - all of them are "metal flake" type. Many Imperials from the 1920's era, and other brands including Utica, Case, Keen Kutter, and Harris Brothers.

I can post more pics if people are interested.

Those are indeed "baseball bat" shaped knives made by Imperial Knife Co.

I plan on selling it as a collection at least for now.

Knifeaholic impressive collection

Knifeaholic...

I'm not worthy!!!

Dang, I have knife envy...

Those are some real beauties. Way to make us feel inadequate.

Nah, seriously, your stuff is outstanding, and you clearly are a "knifeaholic".

Might I also say thanks for all the questions you have answered here, and "there" as well.

Glenn

knifeaholic, those are beautiful. To gather all of those knives up, keep and preserve them so beautifully, and to show them off to us, makes you one of knife collecting's really good guys. Thank you, sir, for showing them to us

Phil,
I know how you love toothpicks, so here is a mini Hammer. I don't think I have posted it here yet, but please forgive me If I have. Please pardon the bark blade, another trick of the scanner. The blade is really bright & shinny. This is a celluloid covered shell handle.

Dale

Dale I have a 5 inch Hammer that looks a lot like your mini. I sure would like to find a mini like yours. Knifeaholic you have a lot of nice knives there.

James

I used to have a cigar box full of those miniature Hammer Brand knives and others including miniatures by Imperial with solid-bolster construction. I also had an intact display card of the Hammer Brand miniatures. Too bad its hard to keep everything!!

knifeaholic

if you are planning of selling those please e-mail me at the same name @yahoo.com I would be very interested in speaking with you about them.

Hi;

If you are asking about the Hammer Brands, they are long gone. The cellulid collection some of which i have posted I do have and want to sell.

I may have access to more miniatures (not mine) but it will be ahwile before that group will be for sale.

stevpfff@aol.com if you want to email me directly.

Steve

this is the last of my celluloids. sold a bunch in the last year. gonna get some more. one pic for color.

I think I've shown this knife before, but not when talking about celluloid. Just in case, I'll post the pile side.

Bill

James,
That is a nice 5 inch Hammer For some reason I have a soft spot in my heart for those old Hammers.

jonet,
I like your old Winchester. Very nice!!

Bill,
Whoa Bubba! Where did you get that Kinfolks? Those eyelash pulls are nice and the color of that celluloid is really flashy! The blue in there really sets it off. Do you mind if I keep a picture of it?
I think I have knife lust!

Dale

Dale you are welcome to keep any picture I ever post...no matter how bad they are.

Let's see here...here is the Kinfolks (made for Parker?) with a couple of his kinfolks (all made by Olbertz?). They were once mine...

Bill

WOWO Men who would have guest this Post would go so long and SHOW so many super knives and have so many members join in?
I think I should call it SUPER CELL's At AAPK.

I want to thank all for adding to this post too. The inflammation is real helpful.

In one page I said that I was waiting for KNIFE WORLD to print a piece on taking photos of knives. Well I do not have it yet so I still do not have a camera yet. It's HARD seeing so many cell and I can’t add mine.

Good contribution, Justold. Imperial made many,many knives like that with advertising on them. I've seen nice collections of them put together.
I've been picking up old salesman's sample cases when I can.

Experiment with your scanner; lid up, lid down, piece of different colored paper laying over it. Some people, like BRLevine, think that is the best way to 'photograph' knives. I sold many many knives on ebay using my scanner to take the photos.

Yep, this is fun.
Phil

Here is an Imperial Tuxedo.
