All About Pocket Knives

Found at a flea market nice older knife. Rogers bone nice full blades. Needed a little oil, some simi-chrome and a few minutes. Also still trying to improve my scans. Getting some better but not like my old equipment. I like to sell on AAPK but my pics are to poor now.

Hot dang! That is one fine looking 33. You sir are one lucky duck.

Thanks Jerry

A beauty Harold! It looks unused.

Harold, is that a 4-line stamp or a short-line stamp?

Very nice EZO, Harold; I love the bone! My flatbed scans suck. That is one reason I have dragged my feet on selling. And my camera skills are pretty weak as well.

I agree with the others - that's a beauty!

A modern cell phone will take much better pictures than a flat bed scanner. The biggest issue is getting good, diffused light that doesn't create shadows or glare. That's where I struggle, not because I don't know how, but I just don't have the patience to do the required lighting set-up.

Thanks. What a great acquisition.

Does "short line" = after WW II ?

..don't have my "GOIN'S handy, but I think the short line stamp was 1946-1950............ ..................

You're right Tommy. That's the generally accepted time span. I can't prove it but personally, I think it's more like 1946 - mid 1950s or even a skosh later.

Hey Jerry..... do you measure a skosh in days or months?

Skosh is applicable to the general time frame in question (in this case years), also applicable to weights and measures.

Ahhhhhh.... got ya'. I'll have to remember that.
I was sorta wondering how close a skosh was to a smidgeon......

Is skosh applicable to schrade years or Camillus years as well or just case years?

'Smidgeon' is a smaller unit of measurement than a Skosh and an RCH is even smaller yet. You need a good set of calipers to measure an RCH (and a very willing red head).

LOL.... Jerry, I thought only me and my brother-in-law knew what a RCH was..... Now, I know there is at least 3 that know.....LOL.

30 microns just so you know, don'tcha just love picking them out of your teeth.

My favorite pastime.

I guess we've successfully run this thread off the rails.

WOAH....
I didn't see your redheads pic when I first replied Jerry... NO FAIR.
LOL.... pickin' 'em out of your teeth........
