All About Pocket Knives

If you could get a replacement blade and do a very mild clean up
I think you would enjoy the knife. It would still be your grandpa's
knife. Just a little improved.

Looks like a lot of work went into making the website. I like that
most knives are about the same size, same background, and all in
in focus.

Bob

Quite a difference. Nice find.

Bob

I would think moderate wobble or more would make the knife feel less secure in your hand. This could increase the probability you would cut yourself and make the cut less perfect if going along a straight line. Sharpness should increase performance . Difficult material to cut should decrease perform...

I was a little lost on the OP. I have found diluting mustard with a small amount of lemon juice works well. I leave it set for a small amount of time ( 5-7 min.), wash it off, then reapply until I get the patina I like. This composition allows me to apply the acid exactly where I want it. I am not m...

Way to go Floyd! Enjoy the new knife.

Bob

Agree. Beautiful little knife. I wonder how old it is.

Bob

Would the metals in the blades absorb slightly into the
surface of the well used oil stone making it magnetic??

Got to think about this ................

Bob

Either go to a knife show this spring/summer and talk to a guy who has a load of new knives with
boxes or look on eBay doing the same. It will not be an easy if going thru eBay.

Good luck!

Bob

Ken, it has been quite a few years that I have read a narration and could not wait to see where it ended but at the same time really appreciated your writing ability and did not want to read it too quickly. Your story writing reminded me of a columnist that wrote for the local newspaper. I often wou...

One more thing to add. In my 3 ring binder I have pictures of all
my knives. Since my collection is relatively small compared to
some, it is not too difficult.

This is a crude written version of what I try to keep. This is an example so model number isn’t real or anything else on this example. Please feel free to let me know if anything should be added or removed. It has been working for me for a while now. Would thickness of the blades be of interest? Ne...

Yes it is Bob.

You probably know then be careful.

Interesting knife btw

Bob

Is the handle a celluloid material?

Bob

I think this question has been asked here before. I have had problems using Excel, so I stuck with using MS word. It gives a lot of flexibility , is easy to use, and the search function is easy. I store the information in a 3 ring binder. I started it when I had about 40 knives so the task was very ...

What Eric said is something to think about when buying horn handles.

I have always wanted a horn handled knife. Maybe not so now.

Bob

Welcome! We would love to see some of your knives and have
conversations regarding what knives are popular over there.

7e56b0aeaa7dfb5f412ab6ab52129103-0.jpg I got another Schrade Scrimshaw knife this week to add to my collection. It is a SC505 half stockman 2 raccoons. This scrimshaw is the first new condition in the collection. For the new guys here starting knife collecting, you might consider these knives. I st...

Great find!

Bob

Maybe the seller bought this knife from someone and did not
look at it closely??

Bob

Good for him. Maybe a future career in hand working,

Bob

Bad cold stamped.

Bob

Good for you Carman. Enjoy them!

Bob

I have a few knives that are really great looking but the pull is near a 10. If my nails are long and I have not done any hard physical labor I might be able to open it if lucky. Those times I bring a little index card to slip into the knife well. I tend to carry those when I think it is very unlike...

Looks like a very sturdy knife.
