All About Pocket Knives

Second post here..rather than join another forum I'll see if you knife nuts can help with a gun question. I visited a friend yesterday who offered me what he said was a 1911 Gold Cup National Match, previously owned, accurized and shot competively by the previous owner while in the military statione...

I'm gonna make two posts on here today but the first is in ref. to .22 ammo. My youngest daughter and I just reunited in February after a 16 year separation when she did a web search for me. On Mothers Day I gave her a card and a SAK and she said "best Mothers Day gift ever !" She recently...

Waz, You have my sympathy man ! I got shingles last March all the way around my mid-section and spent six weeks sleeping on the couch because it was more comfortable than bed. Pretty much screwed up my whole summer with fatigue. Shots are about 50% effective in preventing shingles. I could feel mine...

I just can't see how you might make it without a seam or a fold. :shock: :? Ray Ray, Those pails were spun. Clamped in a lathe like device and the metal formed to shape over a wooden mold. Many can be found in Pa. in several numbered sizes and are referred to as jelly kettles. Most around here were...

I'm looking forward to seeing you again Mike, as well as all of the other A.A.P.K. members who I've met there in previous years. ::handshake:: As V.P. of the E.P.K.C.A. I'd like to thank everyone who has supported this show in the past. We're trying out this year for the first time, a two day format...

Gun Control has already started at Gander Mountain Sporting Goods. When I was ready to pay for my purchases of gun powder and bullets, the cashier said, "Strip down, facing me." Making a mental note to complain to the NRA about the gun control wackos running amok, I did just as she had ins...

I can't comment on his character, but something about him must be upstanding.

Very interesting to see the process T.J. In my neck of Pa. slate was extensively quarried in the 19th. & early 20th. centuries, first by Welsh, and later Italians and others. Slate was used for roofing, sidewalks, sinks, urinals, toilet partitions, pool tables, and even fence posts. The slaters,...

Fran you got a spare room this spring? [/quote]

Sure do !

Best of luck to your daughter Bill, for a bright future ! ::tu:: DeSales : I can walk there in about 20 min. on the newly completed rail trail on the old Reading R.R. spur. They have a Shakespeare Festival every year as well as other productions by both students and professionals. A five minute driv...

If I recall, those scale/handles were a Robeson patent. The one with the rough black covers is a Robeson #628235, (my photo is titled incorrectly), and just has "Pat. App. For" The other is a Pine Knot and has no other markings. B.L. featured knives with these handles in knife World about ...

Personally, Jerry, I liked the Soupy Sales show. As dumb as Rocky & Bullwinkle and a little bit raunchier than Groucho Marx.

Bill Scott, Bullwinkle writer and voice, was my father's cousin. They grew up together in Philly. Dad said Bill always was a little bit wacky.

T.J., I thought if anyone would enjoy that link, surely you would. I too, occasionally like listening to the cat dragged through the briars. :wink: :lol: I Like the sound of the button boxes, and hate myself for giving up the accordion in my ignorant youth. ( Hard to see the possibilities after play...

T.V. is about worthless to watch anymore. Even channels that used to air interesting or educational programs have been mostly dumbed down to the lowest common denominator. Common being the operative word here. I find more and more I turn to the internet for entertainment, and wondered if any of you ...

Where are the Hartz Mountain Singing Canaries ?

That was a Sunday morning show that the radio in Dad's old '46 Pontiac could pick up in the Jersey pine barrens on the way to the shore.

T.J. I think you have probably read the knife spot on. Even without the evidence of the replaced/proud pin I would think it had a replaced secondary blade. I don't have that exact pattern, but overall it has the "look" of a Wolfertz. I have in excess of 60 Wolfies and I look to see that al...

Who's coming ?

Thanks J.P.! Thought you'd like it.

Mike, In the last several weeks I've purchased a Beretta PX4 and a S&W M&P Shield, both in 9mm. The S&W is strictly for cc. The PX4 is full sized and a sweet shooter, and is in your price range. Sig, Springfield, Kimber etc. all make fine guns, but if this is a new venture stick with a g...

Here's a Schrade Cut Co. single blade on the bottom. The only other I have is a rough Wolfertz jack.

Monk, I had a Timney adjustable trigger installed on a 77/22 Hornet some years back and I love the trigger and love shooting the rifle. Timney didn't make an adjustable trigger for that rifle and maybe still doesn't, but I had an extremely competent, ( if hardheaded ) gunsmith at the time who wouldn...

Nice EKT, K-A-Q ! Charlie, Thanks for the info on the flame edge. I thought it was a little newer than that. I don't think Battle Axe, Phila. ever manufactured. I think all of their knives were made on contract, but the ones I have seen have been very nice. One Philadelphia company that I know didn'...

Here's more wormgroove on a Battle Axe, Philadelphia.

Charlie, your Robeson collection always dazzles me !

I don't have many, but here's a newer one with strawberry bone, and an older one (on the right) with wormgroove.
