All About Pocket Knives

Figured while I was up, I'd give the boys knives ready for this morning's mission cleaned and oiled, and honed!

Good golly Scott, Sinclair Oil - you've had that can awhile! OH

!!! Olfa SVR-2.jpg

Dave.. As a house painter I find those super versatile.. I got a half dozen in my tool bucket and carry 1 while working all the time.. Sharp devils they are!! John

Utterly agree John! And if I find any more of these Olfa knives locally you can bet I'm going to grab more!

Today I had to bait the mouse traps so the Cadet is in my pocket!

Yesterday and today.

I see the happy labor day went over well so we'll just stick with EDC'$ todays were 125ot and 34ot thanks for looking

Old Klein and Sons, Chicago, Electrician. Cleaned this up from black rusted blades, couldn't read the stamp, no snap and lots of grind. Now is snaps and looks better.

Nice job Ivoryman

Thanks Producer

This trapper today.

Don't know K.R.Johnson, but, nice knife.... my new, old Camillus today....same lousy pic skills

What a sweet Trapper Dave, love the Wharn on that one. Nice color too, wow, sweet. And Tripple F Scott, great group of scouts and nothing like cleaned up, oiled, honed.
Who doesn't love a new knife? Obviously. But lately I love a new old one better. Nothing beats getting a new knife that's fifty, sixty, seventy odd years old like this 1949-58 Queen Half Congress, and still have it in great shape. And better still, unlike a new safe queen/shelf/display knife, these are usable and you can enjoy them and love on them and show off wherever you go and still not ruin the value. But best of all you can feel the experience of using them, you get a whole different experience you never get from a knife you don't use. Just the remnant of cursive "ueen" after the Q, above the STEEL. The snap is unbelievable, just perfect tension and the sound it makes is like it's from a percussion instrument. The blades stout and the steel is great. The action is so nice, just like my '76 Case Whaler. It has history and look of age and the age is not faked like new ones with fake aged looks. This bone is old and you know it at a glance from the look and style that is not worn in on a new knife. And they do not build them like this now.

Them old Queens are great My riders today were Bucks.

Nice old Winterbottom Queen.

That Queen is well preserved, make a great user. Them handles have character.

Went with this Trapper today.

Been carrying Ole Jack for the most part for the last ten days - really like the looks and action of this knife. OH

Ps Producer - "never met a Schrade you didn't like" - I like that!

Thanks Ivoryman!

Knice knives fellas!!

I'm carrying this today......

Great Imperial there Triple F, love that kind of thing. It screams bygone era. Pretty to look at, tough and usable, and nobody's knife will look like yours when you pull it out. That is a fabulous thing.
Thanks for the compliments Steve and Dogg and any I missed.

Into oldies lately. This Case 62087 '40-64 is lighter and smaller than many single blade knives. Love that. And steel liners, sweet action, cool steel, beautiful bone. A favorite indeed.

Ever have one of those days when you wanted to carry a Stockman, but just couldn't decide which Stockman to carry? Got it narrowed down to two brands. OH
Ps. Nice 87 Ivoryman.

Thats a tough decision to have nice tri's OH,I'm going with a sodie and a nut

Nice problem to have OH, wow, sweet Stockmans or that mule shield Gunstock? Activate salivary glands, commencing drool.
GDogg, trying to figure out that photo is messing with my brain.
