Locking Knives

[GSPTOPDOG]

3 Finger Mac just sent this one out to me and couldn't be happier. Loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove me some GEC spears. Thats' why they call it GREAT Eastern Cutlery. No doubt it is.

Now... that' what i'm talking about, when I say you scored!!!

Thanks a lot GSPTD, appreciate the notice, and again thanks 3FMac if you're reading this. Love the knives you sold me. Thanks again all.

Here's a Camillus double locking knife that I've had since 1991.
A nice bit of kit.

[Madmarco]

That's a kit knife you assembled, Joe?
Nice work!

I have not seen that before, that's a great Camillus!!!

[FRJ]

No Marco, I'm just saying it is a great accessory to have in your "kit". It has a belt sheath.
It is from Camillus's Yellow Jacket line. They came in two offerings. Delrin covers in Stag and yellow.

Thank you GSPTOPDOG, it is a handful and has great lock up. I have enjoyed this knife since1991.

[FRJ]

Well, while I'm here I might as well show off another locking knife.

This is a Schrade 510 T. A fine companion. EDIT: It's a 510 not 501.

Actually, it is neither .....
51 OT > > > as in 51 Old Timer
Also called 'Big Timer'. I have never seen one in that handle material ....

Thought about keeping this Weidmannsheil but finally decided to list it on EBay. I was really attracted to the handle.

Thank you, Chris, you are correct. I didn't connect with that and I know better.

These covers are Canvas Micarta thanks to Muskrat Man.

I agree wholeheartedly! Getting a complete set of Yello-Jaket models is something I'd like to do, but that will take a lot of time and money. You were very wise to have bought that one brand-new.

Got it, Joe!
Thx!
It's a teriffic knife!

Wow, another knife I really like, Joe!
We seem to have similar tastes in our knife patterns cuz many of the examples you post I would purchase too.
I've never seen a Schrade like this one, and man, I'm impressed!

I certainly understand your reluctance to part with that little beauty, Tim!
What's the name of your ebay store?

[tvic]

Thanks for the compliment, my friend! Don’t have a store - no desire to be a dealer - too old! . Just like to move a few things out once in awhile - when I can bear to part with them - to make room for some new things. I use the same “handle” on EBay as I do here - tvic.

[Madmarco]

Thanks Tim.
I didn't know you can sell the occasional item on ebay without opening a store.
Good to know!

[FRJ]

I've never seen a Schrade like this one, and man, I'm impressed!

It is a great knife, Marco. The 51 OT by Schrade. I would think anyone who held it would be very impressed. I was.
Locks very securely!

[Madmarco]

It sure looks like a solid little knife, Joe.
Great knife, indeed!

One would have a bit of chasing to do to for all the Yellow Jackets. It would be a nice collection though.

When I bought this it just seemed like the right thing to do. It is a real piece of work and it's one of my favorite knives.

Thank you, Dan.

Great knife, indeed!

It's 4 3/4" closed.

Whoops!
It sure doesn't look that big in the picture.
Since I'm a lover of big knives the size is ideal for me, just makes the knife that much sweeter!

[FRJ]

Well, eh-hem, while I'm here I might as well show off another knife.

This is a large 5" Remington.
The assist open is a real plus although I don't use it very well. But I can use it.

That's a sweetie, really smooth looking piece, and great covers.

What did you dislike about it if you are listing it? Looks like a nice piece.
