All About Pocket Knives

Hey, that looks nice!

Nice job on that marking knife, Reverand. If they're pretty that's a plus but they need to be effective and handy. Oh that poor carpenter pencil! If you put a chisel edge, on both sides, along the wide of the lead, to a sharp point, it will give you the sweetest fine line and long lasting fine line...

I love that shield idea!

Happy birthday!

I worked on a few projects today in the knife shop, but really only finished one. One project that I started was a blade delete on an electrician's knife. The screwdriver blade was broken at the tip, so it was a perfect candidate. While doing some work, I needed to mark a piece, so I grabbed up that...

Happy birthday!

It is great to hear that you found a solution, though it pains me to know that you suffered through so much for so long.
I will pray that you keep recovering, and that your story inspires other people who are struggling to not give up!

I got a chance today to go through my POS gift from Steamboat Willie. He sent so many good knives that I almost need to post them under the "Bombs" thread! First was this awesome Leatherman Supertool 300. That baby just might show up in my toolkit! It is a beefy Leatherman and looks like i...

That scrimshaw work is beautifully done!
You certainly got a great price on it. I do not know the artist, but they certainly are gifted.

Love the knives! I don't know if the first knife has a celluloid handle or not, but it is definitely cracked ice. I do not see any evidence of outgassing from the photos.

Cool!
It is definitely a Rigid, but I would not have guessed that it was made by Case until seeing these replies.

No, that one is an ink eraser, used along with quill pens.
They do look a little similar, but a fleam will have a smaller and more triangle-shaped blade.

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday!!

In my mind, the Elephant Toenail pattern is an equal-end knife, while the Sunfish is smaller on one end (shaped like an actual fish).
Now I will admit that this definition is mine, is not definitive in any book that I have read, and is worth every cent that you just paid for it.

I have one Hardhat knife. It is a hefty little lockback. I wonder if they were manufactured in Owensboro, or if they were an SFO. They resemble some Bear and Son knives, but then again a lot of lockback knives have a strong resemblance.

Just received my first two Camco knives. Both are pearloid advertising knives that I believe are from the 60s. IMG_2293.jpegIMG_2294.jpeg I have a similar Camco that I carry regularly. I got it from another member, but I don't recall whom. It might have been a POS exchange? Anyway, it is a handy li...

Happy birthday!

Will continue praying for y'all.
I praise Him along with you, no matter His will, but until I know His will in this I will continue to pray for complete remission and healing!

I have to agree, Bighead is one of the best!

I won the eBay bid on this knife, and received it today: a Japanese-made Sharp 175 Barlow.
The tip had been bent and straightened, but not too bad. It is still in good shape, and will fit my Sharp collection perfectly.

I've been on a road trip and wasn't home when the package from Smalleyd showed up in my mailbox. Unfortunately, I forgot to warn the house sitter and she, bless her heart, put that fetid box of poo right on the dining room table. You can imagine my dismay when I walked through the door and spotted ...

Congratulations!!
