Knife7knut they all make me drool, especially the mini’s and the watchfob type fancy gentleman’s knives. Wow!

If I may, meaning no harm or insult in the least, point out the little guy with the graphic. Is that a Richards? Well, anyway, it seems just a wee bit dark to me. I’m going to assume that’s celluloid. You might want to just keep an eye on it. :(

I'm pretty sure these are all of my old schrades that have bone handles, with a few pearl and wood in there. A few of these are not in great condition, but most are in excellent condition with a handful of minty ones. I am focusing on the minty knives much more. I have a lot of other knives but these old schrades represent the core of my collecting and main interest.

Thanks for the kind words Ann.Yes it is a Richards miniature 3 blade with an RCMP graphic on it and it has been like that for about 30 years now. I haven't really experienced cel degradation on shell handled knives as yet but I'm sure there is always a first time. Here is a better picture of the knife.

I remember the shell handle RCMP knives well. As a kid in Canada in 1950's & early '60's the stores in tourist type places always had these on display cards, usually near the cash register.

Camillus. Most of these are from the local hardware store stash I found last year.

Hi Larry, I assume you are referring to the Elephant toe on the left of 4 like knives.
That knife has jigged bone covers.
Thanks.

Great collection pics everyone! I like photos of knife groups. The first three pics are displays I made up for a local gun show back in 2013 or 2014, trying to drum up some local interest. Didn't work. The last one is my Keen Kutter collection as of about 1 year ago.

Hmm. I wonder if something else discoloured it? My large Mountie looks much the same and has been segregated. I don’t see corrosion on the seemingly carbon blades so perhaps it’s not outgassing after all, I hope!

Here is about half of my collection that I keep in display cases. The rest of it just kind of resides where ever I can find a flat spot. It might take a day or two to get those together for a photo. :lol:
