This little feller was delivered yestiddy, if it was a 4 incher it'd be a dandy, as it is, it's a knice addition to the little shelf of useless knives. It's fun to look at them but if yore finger nails ain't dirty they ain't much account for anything. Just mho yore mmv.

but it is pretty bh.

bighomer, I'll 2nd that motion! Them little ones are not much use except to look at, like the little Camillus 21 I got the other day. I know we may, not probably won't get a unanimous vote on this matter but a knife needs to be big enough to do some work when it's called on!

I'm going to take another tack on the size issue. Soon after I got out of the service, I bought a Schrade 108OT, 2 3/4" closed. I carried it for several years and still have it. It did everything I needed a knife for so I'm coming down on the side that the small knives are not completely useless. In fact, it's been my experience that as an EDC and used for everyday tasks, they are very useful.

Caveat -- No, I never chopped down trees, cut up firewood, butchered game nor cleaned fish with it. So I cannot speak to use on that front.

But, I bet your fingernails are clean enough to qualify you for work as a hand model!

The old preacher use to say, "It's a mighty thin coin that ain't got two sides!" Same old pastor used to say, "It'd be a mighty dull world if we ate only vanilla ice cream."
There's room for big knives and little knives and those in between. I just happen to be on the truck that carries the big ones.

Not arguing with your choice. Just taking your bias to task. Two sides to that coin you mentioned.

[doglegg]

I have heard 'fear the man who only has one gun" the idea being that he probably knows how to use it. I suppose the same holds true for knives. You can make do with what you have.

Doglegg, Papa B, GSPTOPDOG...
Thanks guys!

Big H, still pretty to look at

Agreed!
I am glad that there is plenty of variety, as some times I want a bigger knife, sometimes a smaller one, sometimes a trapper, sometimes a stockman, and sometimes....
Well, you get the idea!
Heck, I even have a couple tactical knives that I use on occasion, (when I want one to use and I don't care that they are as ugly as homemade sin!)

Received two earlier this week- a Camillus 67 and a Remington R1823 I think.
Both have nice, snappy blades with very little wear, but I hadn't noticed until I took these pics that the Remington has some filler for missing bone.
I've got to learn to examine more carefully before purchasing!

Camillus 67

Minor details, Lan! Those are good lookin’ knives!

[GSPTOPDOG]

Every time I visit this thread I get an itch for a new knife! Keep it up guys this short line Camillus just arrived! One grail knife down. Many more to go

Maybe some of these photos would look good in "short line" thread in the Camillus forum... including a tang stamp shot...

[GSPTOPDOG]

Here are my newest additions to my Case /&/ Zippo piles.
Both of these will end up in my showcase.

If I ever get another nice Eisenhower pen knife I'll then EDC this one as it has some blade rub but for now it's the nicest one that I have so it's a protected species.

I'll post a few more pictures in the Case thread.

Thanks for looking friends!

Sweet knife! Also I am a big Zippo fan ...and I am always a fan of cougars...

The mail man dropped off three today, an unmarked sodbuster, a Schrade 788 "Petite Gentleman's knife" and another Geo. Schrade Hunting & Fishing Knife that is in great shape to be at least 75 years old.

All 3 are very nice T.F., but the sodbuster and the H/F models are exceptionally cool!

I appreciate it. I look forward to putting to good use!

It's a great size for a pocket knife. I'm looking forward to carrying it. Thank you

Thank you TOPDOG! Appreciate the feed back! I got interested in Zippos about the same time I got interested in pocket knives which is the same time frame as I joined the AAPK. When I figured out that Zippo owned Case, I was caught, hook, line & sinker! Anyways, this Zippo is from Shepherd Hills. They have some nice ones. I also have the Zippo with the Wild Turkey on it but it is still at my mom's house in MD.

Thanks for the comments of the little Camillus, fellers! I've got this thing for little tiny pocket knives such as this for some reason. They're too little for me to carry but just kinda' neat. It must be an addiction. Went to put this one in the Camillus drawer and look what I found:001.JPG

Dang those are neat Philip! Veeeeery cool knives! Congrats Buddy!

This has been an ulcer causing saga getting this, thought it had been lost in transit but finally got it this morning. I have been searching one of these for over 2 years. And it is a really nice little pocket knife, no gaps, everything sits flush, blade perfectly centred, just a beautiful well made solid knife.

I already have a nice piece of marbled sirloin steak to get the patina started.
