All About Pocket Knives

Q, you always spread cheer. And JMH that sowbelly is a beauty.

Have a Canal Street Barlow, followed by Camillus 72 and 716.

I do not know the maker of this lockback. It has "USA FS" etched on the back, with no tang stamp. The mark side handle has been sanded down, but it still appears to be a great belt knife. It may also hit the rotation! Glad you’re having fun, Rev! (Eh, You’ll find that Leatherman could use...

David that SW cattle knife is a knockout!

Decided to mix it up today and take the canvas micarta Copperlock and sowbelly for a walk.

That’s a purdy one, Q!

That made my day! I need one of those!

Fun stuff, everybody! I love this event every year :) My load from buddyie22. The SKOAL tobacco branded barehead Jack and the little no name lock back are solid little units, and will make fine work bench / tackle box knives. The “gem” for me is the Camco Barlow that fell out of the ugly tree and hi...

I wouldn’t pay a whole lot for that, but I WOULD add it to my collection. I love old knives that show use, and modification / customization by the owner who carried it for years. When my dad was in the navy he spent days filling finger grooves into a Buck 110. I got him a new factory finger grooved ...

JMH, that’s a fine assortment of Cases, and the Utica’s a looker as well!

Beauties!!


Here’s a few of my Barlow/ Stockman combos.

:shock: Wow, you guys have got some museum quality collections here! Hats off to you all. You’ll notice no real brand allegiance here, but I am drawn to the old school aesthetic of cigar frames. I think the old Ulster is my favorite. It’s seen a lot of abuse, but it just looks and feels “experienced...

Haven’t stopped by in awhile, but you guy’s carries never disappoint!

This duo has been my go to edc pair for months. The 86 is developing some great character.

The Camillus is going to be riding with me for a long time. I will still sometimes carry other edcs along with it but they will come and go according to my whims. I will not be showing the Camillus everyday. But even as I show other carry knives I know the Camillus will be with me. Besides its util...

Thanks for the kind words fellas!

Mark, I’m not sure what exactly you call those covers, but the swirls seem to move when you shift it in the light. An eye catcher for sure.

I’ve definitely become addicted to Barlows. Most of my knives wind up in my pocket at one time or another, because I just can’t resist the urge to try them out. But when this Queen made Colonel Coon showed up it was so purdy I couldn’t bear the thought of scratching it, so it’s joined my very small ...

Love that 86, David!

Today I took a Kutmaster New Holland Barlow with me in my New Holland tractor. Does this count as a matching pair?

I have a soft spot for those old workhorse knives, very nice

I was given this recently , I found a bit of info but not much , some I’ve seen had numbers stamped on the bolster , it’s a odd frame , not a usual stockman frame , kind of like a frame on a case peanut , very well made knife ::tu:: IMG_6543.jpeg Neat! I’ve seen a number of those for sale, but have...

Thanks fellas!

I’ve been trying to curb my knife buying this year and finally fell off the wagon. They call me Steamboat Willie, so it only makes sense that one of these would follow me home. Pretty excited about this one!

Bummer. That Robeson Barlow was too rich for me, too, & an older one just got away from me tonight! The saw cut red bone one? I jumped off that train this evening as well. I’ve gotten some pretty good deals lately with the sketchy economy, but it seems people are still willing to get their wall...

Thought I had one in the bay yesterday, then it got too rich for my blood in the final 10 minutes.

Maybe someday.

Love those calf ropers, IM. I should tote mine more often.

86 and Crooked River are my helpers this week.

The pet thread always brightens my day.

Not sure if I’ve posted this one previously. Larry nodded off while bird watching…
