penknife with bolster and lanyard bail

Edgewise · Post by **Edgewise** » Fri Sep 21, 2007 9:12 pm

I'm looking for a traditional penknife, preferably new, 2 1/2" closed, with pen and spear blades, bolster and lanyard bail.
The handle slabs will be customized, and therefore should be nothing worth keeping.
What makes this search difficult is the bail.

If you plan on doing the custom work here is a chance to make your own bail from small pinstock or wire and just flatten the ends. Need some small tools, should not be too hard to do. That way you can get an inexpensive pen knife and make it suit your needs.

Mr. Edgewise...

Do you mean one like this?.....

Bill

P. S.
Whooooops...this one is right about 3" long. Sorry I missed that part.

I have a 2 1/2 inch Remington pearl listed in my store but it is not new. Does have the original bail.

No I don't Hukk, but I'm asking Muskrat Man to do it, so your suggestion will be even easier.
The idea is for M.M. to put turquoise on a small knife for me to wear as a "functional pendant" (M.M.'s term for it)
I chose turquoise because I saw a picture of Louis Lamour with turquoise around his neck, and I associate turquoise with Louis Lamour.

It's a man's stone, and the best stone for a knife, IMO.
Thanks for coming through with your knife suggestions, guys. I'll pass them on to M.M. as he sees them himself. (I'm trying to pass on the choice of the knife to him

)
Hukk's advice has increased our options immensely.
El Lobo, nice knife, but 3" might be getting a bit long for a pendant.

Was having second thoughts about your MOP pen, El Lobo, but it looks like it's gone.
I'll probably have to increase the length to 3" to increase my options.

It is imitation Pearl (92042), and wasn't in my store or anything...just sitting here in one of my knife rolls.
It is a like new 10 dot.....please feel free to PM me if you are interested. I'll treat you good.

I have a Case pen with a bail. So-so stag handles.
It's a 52033 about 2-5/8 to 2-3/4" long.

Just saw your post, Upnorth, but the picture is no longer available.
I didn't see a #033 pattern on the AAPK case numbering. Is it the same as a #33 ? Spear or clip point?
Paladin, a tempting chance at a Remington, but I needed the bail pinned through the bolster, and not so much blade loss.
BTW, that Bruckmann looks superb.

nice case pen, charlie!

Thanks Johnnie! I forgot to add that it is unsharpened- near mint.

Just wanted to let you know that I took Upnorth up on his kind offer of a Case 52033. I hope other Want Ads have been as generously treated as I have. Thanks AAPK.
