Knives you pulled out "Just Because"

[FRJ]

Thank you, Marco and luckydog.

Some nice knives posted here!
Grabbed this little W. Bingham with bone and will tote this around today . Being 3 inches long (closed) it slides into front pocket nicely and isn’t too big to ride there all day . Being a collector of older US made knives I like to also carry older knives . Usually have a 72 short line or EO for EDC on hand but because today is Sunday thought would dress up a little .
Have a great day out there Everyone!

That's a little beauty.

Nice little Bingham, JP.
Great covers on that one.

Well, as I was rustlin' through my ol' canvas bag because I was lookin' for my fencing' pliers I found some old pearly knives I'd forgot about.

Here's one.

A Chipaway Cutlery Co. ........ And here is your chance to show all of your Chipaway knives.

[Madmarco]

Cool little pearly, Joe.
Very nice indeed!

[FRJ]

Thank you, Marco.

I should add it is 3 7/16" closed.

Here is another pearl knife I pulled out because I wanted to keep track of it.

American Shear & Knife, Wharncliffe.

[Madmarco]

Another sweet little beauty, Joe.
You post an awful lot of knives, do you know how many you own, exactly?

[FRJ]

No, I have no idea how many.

[Madmarco]

Thanks, Joe.

[FRJ]

Here's another little pearl. Because it was only made for one year.

Thos. J. Bowler. 1922- ; 3 1/16" closed.

Apparently a hardware firm in Chicago. (Goin's)

[Madmarco]

That's a real gentleman's knife, Joe.
Very nice, just like the others!

[FRJ]

Thank you, Marco.

It is a nice little knife. Very responsive springs, which is not uncommon on small knives and half stops on the secondaries.

[Madmarco]

Is that brown color outgassing around the pin and where the cover meets the bolster, Joe?
I'm not familiar with what o/ging looks like.
EDIT: Actually, never mind, I don't believe MOP will o/g., only celluloid.

[FRJ]

Here is another pearl knife.

A nice Empire; just up the road from me.

[FRJ]

Here is another pearl.

A nice Waterville; just down the road from me.

[Madmarco]

Two more beauties, Joe.
I really like the short stubby little bolster on the Empire, and the engraved bolsters on the Waterville, very classy.
