All About Pocket Knives

E.C. Simmons Keen Kutter ...4" hawkbill....model K135 - made 1905-1920. I like the swedge on this one.

A couple from Electric Knife in Newark, NJ......a whittler and a single blade jack. These were made 1890-1910.

Stabilized California buckeye burl~
Looks more like granite or marble.

Nice woodies all!

Love those Unk!

Keyman that is beautiful.Who did the scales??

I know the answer to that one. Keyman did it!

How about "what are the woods?". The first one is especially good looking!

Posted this elsewhere on the forum but certainly applicable and a beautiful knife.

I had two CASE XX 4257 knives that had the handles shrinking and cracking.

Glenn agreed to take on the project on one. Glenn did not disappoint me with the awesome work on this knife. All expectations of the reworked knife were fulfilled.

Pattern not made in many eras/years and only in white comp to my knowledge.

Here she is with the other knife I have left that for before / after comparision with the remaining knife I have (both in same condition before rehandle).

Red Mallee wood is my understanding. Whatever that is.

Regards, Jerry

Red Mallee, (Eucalyptus calycogona), is native to Australia and is a member of the Eucalyptus family.
It is a scrub-land vegetation or bush that grows in many parts of Australia.
I think those handles are made from the burl between the roots and the trunks of the plant.
It is beautiful wood and fairly easy to work with.






K-A-Q, Love that curly burch!
