All About Pocket Knives

Well my friend, my old eyes saw your knife last night and I read the blade and saw "R11" not RI1. 1st mistake I've ever made.
World of difference between the mini trapper and the slimline trapper.
Sorry I didn't read it properly.

ColtonSCar, ::welcome:: to AAPK ! ::handshake:: I'll agree with OLDE CUTLER 100%! Some of the really old pocketknives had "OIL THE JOINTS" stamped on a blade, that would be one way to continue the present condition of your special knife. Carry it now and then on special days but don't put ...

Good Mornin', Folks. Looks like we'll open the diner again today. First mornin' out of the high 40's, 60 degrees, more like Florida weather. ::nod:: Workday today, going to finish up removing/retrieving my stuff from the hunting lease I hope. Planning a special dinner for Miss Joy today, we've been ...

Q, that one looks more beefy than the older #11s that I have. It almost looks like it needs to ride around in a front pocket and be useful. ::hmm:: Safe Queens are great, I have a few but it's sad that they never will have experienced what they were intended to do. (as if pocketknives have feelings)...

Good Mornin', let's open up the diner! ::tu:: 47 this morning, clear skies again, yesterday was nice weather wise. Had a successful trip to the doctor. Going to have an easy day I think, got to check the game cameras and maybe do some work in the yard. Church this evening and probably a run to the g...

I carried my sporty little TB62028 SS with me today, no need for a "real" knife at the doctor's office or at the Red Lobster in Panama City. Treefarmer

No, Gtrclktr-351, you're not the only one. I've posted this knife several times and probably mentioned its history before here on AAPK. The first knife I remember buying was a Case 61048, pretty sure it was when I was in the 9th grade, 1st year of Vocational Agriculture/FFA at Colonial High School i...

Good Mornin', Folks. Scott, my friend, you need to be here in the Panhandle, it's 46 this morning. Cool all day yesterday, had a light wind a blowin' and in the shade, you needed a long sleeved shirt to stay comfortable. Maybe this full moon is the last cool down until fall. Our old dog, Flossie had...

Got these two in the mail today, they were out of the water in the shallow end of the bay, stuck in the mud as the tide went out. 002.JPG They were listed as "Buck 375 & Scout Camw3a Knives", don't know if they hit the wrong keys or were guessing. ::shrug:: One picture of both knives f...

Good Mornin', Knifers. Just a tad on the cool side this morning, 48 degrees. The rain yesterday was minimal, spotty might be a good term. The most rain came during church time, could hear a little thunder but not the rain. Outside after the service everything was wet. The sky is clear this morning a...

Jerry, you always knock it out of the park! Everything looks so delicious and that old Case 6265 shows where your heart is.

Jerry, those two make me smile. Mighty pretty handles on those Case knives and a great and practical combination for someone in the outdoors!

Ivoryman, I believe those liners are probably nickel silver, same metal as the bolsters. Notice the difference in the color compared to the springs which are most likely carbon steel. ::hmm:: (I have a 1970 Case Trapper, stainless blades, that has a carbon spring and a stainless spring. Took me a wh...

Good Sunday Mornin' to y'all. Hey, JP! thanks for turning on the lights! It's 69 degrees this morning, light rain with a little thunder in the distance. Radar shows it to be scattered showers all to the west and some large ones out in the Gulf and lots of rain about a hundred miles north or so, up i...

Another I picked up at the show. I wasn't even looking for Case stuff, but this stag caught my eye. Steel liners and very well built. Excellent action and tight. Ivoryman, Question about the steel liners, are they rare? Don't recall seeing them on a Case. Was it made during war time? That one has s...

Always enjoy seeing old firearms. ::tu:: Looks like you could reach out and touch 'em with that LONG TOM, Rick. We've got a S&W "almost" like the one Miss Boji posted. All I need to do is put another set of grips on it.: 9-8-20 315q.JPG Can do a bit better with the condition by showing...

Marlin .35. .My first and only deer rifle .perfect gun for hunting in the woods from a stand in a white oak tree .been tagging my limit with the same gun out if the same tree for 40 years now .took all summer hauling hay and mowing yards to pay for her .image.jpg Thomasg, I like the picture of your...

Good Mornin', Folks. Thunder woke me up around 5am, realized I had left our old woods cart outside, I got up and put it under the barn before the rain that is west of us arrives. Looks to be spotty showers, no big rain event. Our son and grandson from Thomasville are supposed to travel over to visit...

Happy Birthday, Sir!
I ought to be able to come by for cake and ice cream since you are only about 100 miles away, 80 as the crow flies.

Happy Birthday!

Thank you for that link, just bob. ::handshake:: Very interesting indeed! Problem is that report is based on 1990 facts, the knife in question is celebrating a 1997 happening. ::shrug:: From the article jut bob referred me to, I gathered several mergers, buyouts, etc., finally became Alcas Cutlery C...

Searched high and low and can't figure out who made this S&W knife. I posted it the other day in "knife finds of the day" and got no response as to the maker. Trying again, who made this one? 001.JPG 002.JPG 003.JPG Two knives like it were listed on AAPK stores, one has sold, the was s...

Hang in there, David! We are all in His hands. Your statement of faith will carry you through this. I know you remember the old gospel song "One day at a time"

Good Mornin' Folks! Reading bighomer and jerryd's posts from yesterday made me smile! I can completely relate to what they are saying, one day you feel good enough to tackle a project and the next day you're shot because you overdid what used to be normal. Seems like my schedule officially be one da...
