All About Pocket Knives

Nice little bird! I don’t wear a glove or thumb guard, and usually end up with a bunch of micro cuts in my thumb pad from using it as a stop. Hope you get it healed up good.

Thank you!

Made a letter opener for the desk. Pine wood Pirate.

I don’t remember the name of the medicine, but one of the first advertised restless leg drugs had people compulsively gambling, people who never had a gambling problem at all. It was found to have all sorts of weird side effects in behavioral change. Glad you are doing better.

Thanks Tom, it’s a good way to spend the evening and use my knives!

Thanks, I think people will see that green grass at a glance.

I gave my buddy the caricature and he loved it. He has a business card holder at my wife’s restaurant, and a lot of my carvings are up there too. We decided I would make a base to put his cards in so we can have it displayed for all to see.

Great knife Skip, I love a whittler, and putting them to use.

I’ve lived in N. Tx all my life and around here it’s a Bois d’ Arc (said Bo~Dark) or just Horse apple tree. Further up in Oklahoma you start to hear Osage Orange.

I have a buddy who has a lawn business so I made a little caricature of him beer belly weed eater and all.

A little scout I made out of scrap pine. It was a gift to another member here who has a son who is an Eagle Scout.

I glad you like it, it was a fun little project and one I’m going to need to do a few more of for boys in my Troop. It was about a 4 day turn around working in the evenings after work. I just finished up another little project I will post in the woodcarving thread.

The two I have are perfect for and finish, but I bought them at Blade Show Texas direct from them and they were Qc’d by them at the register when I bought them. I know the member Corn Creek Cutlery on here is a distributor and I’m sure he would check them for you before shipping. He has a AAPK store...

Great looking knife!

Really nice example Skip! The full spear with swaging and the full still intact sheepfoot are great. I like a cattleman knife and this is a fine example. I did find 1925 was the deadliest year reported in coal mining which makes you think 1926 would be the first and your knife 1927 the second year f...

Are you the one who gave the interview on the Catchbit pod cast? I enjoyed that episode and browsed your store several times since. Lot of nice knives rarely seen here.

Those mark II Ruger’s are a blast to shoot and accurate little pistols.

Cool knife and even better history! I wonder if the tooth pick was bone or metal? Would a Swiss army one fit in there?

I have several older knives with broken nail nicks. On close examination the nail nick is stamped or cut so deep that it’s paper thin where it breaks at. One I have is likely only .002” thick at the fracture.

The bottom middle card tool is really intriguing--looks like it has a t-handle bit driver that takes precision bits? Thanks CCC, and good eye Cody! It has a T handle driver with a flit bit standard and Phillips. It also has a glasses sized double end screw driver, can opener and knife blade. Being ...

Got my package fro Thestretch71 today and it had a nice assortment of some users, good multi tools for the atv, a couple wallet and key chain knives and a neat brass ruler key chain. He went through my past post and saw I am involved in the BSA and threw in a few Scout knives too! In an envelope wer...

Nice looking pair of Bucks.

Received C-Wade’s POS package today. I’ll start out by saying; I’m REALLY pleased with the Birdseye Maple Anvil he personally made for me…. He also made a small wood knife from a kit. : I glad you liked them. I have a hard time finding many knives to send each year, so I try to add a personalized g...

The only thing magnetic should be swarf, of the grey metal remnants of the blade from sharpening it. That will happen on any stone but would not be enough to feel with a magnet. If the stone(any kind) loads up with swarf it won’t sharpen as well.
