All About Pocket Knives

Cousin Minnie Pearl's 100th birthday was 10-25-2012 --- So in her memory I thought I would post some of my Mini Pearl's.

In 1982 Adrian Harris at Tennessee Knife Works made me some Colonel Coon knives. Today 30 years later, I sold five of them stag handle congress and stockman pattern's for $100 each! Did I do ok? The Coon's in the picture are all I have left!

Here are some Miller Bros pen and fob knives. My favorite is the pearl handle (screw on) pen, I bought some thirty years
ago from a knife collector of renown!

Maybe not a "Holy Grail" knife, but certainly one of my favorites is this pearl screw on handles by Miller Bros. It has beautiful pearl and does not appear to be used. I bought it about thirty years ago from Joe Lauderdale (Widow Creek Knives).

Today I am carrying a John Primble No. 731 ~~ Glad I was a fellow had a splinter in his thumb this morning and he could not get it out with his EDC ~~ He asked for a sharp blade and I handed him this old worn out thing and in a jiffy he had the splinter out!

I have these four knives tang marked Aerial.
Were they made in Wisconsin?

I found these original Colonel Coons in a desk where I had stored a few knives. The stockman is bone handle and was made for a cattle dealer...it has Hudson Beefmaster etched on the blade and his brand apparenlty on the bone handle. The two blade congress had wood handles and I bought two of them fo...

Some 30 years ago my brother gave me this Zippo stainless lockback.
It says Zippo Bradford, Pa on the tang.
Has anyone seen other knives tang stamped Zippo?

A friend asked about this knife...he said an uncle gave it to him several years ago and he knows nothing about it, except the blades are very hard to open and they show use. The tang stamp appears to have Joseph Rodgers on it??? What do you ladies and gentlemen of AAPK think???[/attachment] Ross-1.j...

It says BUCK WHITTAKER and the small blade locks.
What would this be used for? It appears to be some
type of bottle opener as well?

Some wanted to see a picture of my EDC.
Here it is smack dab in the center of a group of Colonel Coon's Adrian Harris made for me.

If I told you what I am carrying right now ~ and my favorite EDC ~ you would throw me off this forum and never speak to me again. I have carried a knife all my life. As a boy I always carried a knife to school and yes, we traded, even with teacher's right in the hall and classroom. As a boy most of ...

Case walnut handle 11031 SH ~ Anyone know how many of these Case put in a box for shipping to dealers?
One man said six per box, another says he bought a box of twelve in the 1970's and paid approximately four dollars each for the knives.

The photo is of a Wayne Clay custom made knife. I bought it at a knife and gun show several years ago and as you can see the blade had been damaged by someone useing a grinder or file on it.
Can this be buffed out? And who does it?

I have read that the Schrade Kentucky Rifle knife ~ is credited with being the knife that started collecting the way it is today. Is this true? Was is A.G. Russell who had Schrade make the knives? What year were they made? What handle material was used?

I found 4 Buck's - but that will only buy one gallon of gas

muskrat man wrote:that's a buck creek. You get it for $5 I'll give you $15 if the blades aren't broken

Will you give me $15 for my Bear & Bull?
If so email me your address and I will put it in a bubble envelope to you.

The knife in the picture is probably a Bear & Bull or at least one of the German made knives...judging from the Solingen shield. I have a congress with the same markings and the same imitation pearl handles.

Here are seventeen knives. They include: Queen, Aerial, Red Stag, Remington, Robeson, Cattaragus, Syracuse, Simmons, Bulldog, Kabar, Colonel Coon, Lenox, Western, Miller Bros, Syracuse, Frost and Camco. See if you can have fun finding them? I will post the answers later. WOW~ you AAPK people sure kn...

Was the Case 8364S a gentlemen's finger nail knife? What with the scissors and the nail file blade.
The tang on the one in the picture is CASE XX over STAINLESS over USA ~ Am I right in assuming it was made 1965-69?

I must have a knife in my pocket ~ to go out without one is just like going out without your pants on!
I like a stockman, whittler or congress.

WOW! WOW! WOW!
You sure are a lucky fellow to have so Minnie Pearls and Remington at that. Remington collector ~ is Remington still the most highly sought after brand to collect?

I once saw Sgt. Alvin C. York's knife that he carried during WW 1.
It was a celuoid handle Remington pen ~~ Anyone got any to show?
Anyone got any Remington pearl's? Here is one I got today.

Here is a picture of a China made Kissing Crane. Plastic handles.

This thread has a comment that CC's were only made in stag or bone. I've seen pictures of pearl and I have this wood handled congress that looks kosher to me. Comments appreciated. You have a wood hand real life coon there. A real rare knife. Notice the picture above where I posted one. Adrian Harr...
