All About Pocket Knives

Hi. I am a traditional fan but I'm not knowledgeable about Ka-Bars so I hope someone can help me. I just acquired a large jack (4" closed and quite stout at 4.1 oz.) pictured below (and please excuse the hasty pic). It is a very nice knife. I'm hoping to learn more about it, in particular the t...

Being new to traditionals and to GEC, I've only had one experience so far with Ken, but it was great. He is a fine gentleman with top notch customer service. I look forward to my next transaction with him.

Andrew

1) Great Eastern Northfield #89 Executive Whittler is On Hold.

Andrew

Will consider (reasonable) offers on the remaining 3 knives, especially if you buy more than one.

Andrew

1) Great Eastern Northfield #89 Executive Whittler in Tortoise Shell Acrylic . Has been sharpened, used lightly, and has blade scratches. I did not like the stock coping blade as the square corner was uncomfortable, both in using the blade and when it was closed, so I have re-shaped it into a mini-...

Thanks, Keith.

Andrew

Thanks, Keith. Lots of good Eye info. in your post. Is the half congress a "new Eye" or an "old Eye"? I have a decent edge on mine, but not a great edge. I'll be working more to try for the latter. I really like the looks and feel of this knife, but it is pretty small. Nice to kn...

Gino, I believe the sister store is Digital Freaks (which seems like an odd name for a knife vendor): http://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/knife_forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=20683 BTW, maybe I didn't do a very thorough search, but I couldn't find a manufacturer's website for German Eye. Doeas anyone...

Hi to all. I just picked up this nice German Eye Small Congress from Deadwood Knives (my first transaction with Deadwood, BTW---good price, fast ship, and excellent CS): http://www.deadwoodknives.com/p-2803-cong2-blk-german-eye-brand-jigged-black-bone-congress-pocket-knife.aspx It is listed as havin...

Thanks for the comments, gents. I'll post my impressions, and maybe another a pic or two, after it arrives.

As to "which one is next?"---aye, caramba, so many knives, so little time.....

Andrew

Good afternoon, everybody. I am new to CSC but not to knives. Recently I have been gravitating to traditional folders and picking up one or two or three to try out. I read some good things about the CSC Single Blade Half Moon Trapper, and really like the looks of the smooth sunset bone scales. So, y...

Thanks, Earl. Yep, it sure is convenient buying online, but there are times when it would be nice to get the feel of something before plopping down the cash. Guess this was one of those times!

Andrew

Barry, thanks for the great posts---lots of info. and beautiful knives! My #25 had some other issues as well, so it's on its way back to the dealer. One thing I couldn't figure on it, though, is why the nail nick wasn't lined up with the "Easy Open" (hah!) cut-out. Seems like it would make...
