All About Pocket Knives

Wow Mark, sounds like you (and your wife) have been through the wringer! I'm glad to read that you were able to figure out the cause and start to turn things around. I'm also glad to hear that wife stuck with you when you were probably not at your best, and that this has made you closer as a couple...

I don't think Schrade ever sold any of their jigged bone off to other shops. They used everything they made up for their own knives. The later Catt jigged bone like what's on the knife posted below sort of resembled the Schrade peachseed but wasn't the same. Eric Very interesting! I could have swor...

ratlesnake75, what an interesting story! It's wonderful to hear you give praise to the Lord for allowing you to discover where you were!

[ Sorry for your experience Mark but so thankful you are coming our of it. I spent a week in May and the entire month of June in the hospital about 2 years ago with acute pancreatitis.

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. Yes Sir, This was the...

An amazing story Mark! Thank you for sharing it! I have the same issues, severe restless leg syndrome and REM sleep disorder.

Mark, When someone tells you "My friend bought the knife from a trusted source who says this knife was Made by the guy who made Honk Falls knives out of his garage using up old Nap parts." To me the guy in the garage is a cobbler. I would recommend to your friend to stay away from this &q...

Hey Guys, I don’t have a knife to show but I can offer another clue to keep in mind while we Continue our study of “Wilbert” knives. So far for me in looking at Wilbert knives it’s about 50/50 in contrast that many are NOT stamped with “Chicago”. As of now we have 3 different tang stamps that I am a...
