All About Pocket Knives

All this talk of green knives, and good beer, is making me thirsty.
But alias, the fridge is dry...

I love me a good import; I hate to fork over the 51% tax we pay up here (including on n/a), and recycling fee.

Taxation like that will drive a man to drink!!!

The Mighty Canine Muscle Missile managed to scare the bejesus out of some kids down in the grove on our walk today. The kids were walking the trail coming from the other direction and came around a bend just as the Muffin Head was coming around the other way. Of course Trey had to start running in circles and trying to get their attention. You'd have thought a grizzly bear had jumped out of the bushes! The one little boy was obviously scared to death of dogs. I got Muffin Head to sit and let them pass without incident. It was funny though.

Here's a shot for that walk.

A sweet little knife. Who made it?

Poor kid...hope the Muffin Head didn't scare him too badly!

Nice Charlie I think you sprayed green on it lol… those kids probably circled back around and slit your tires….

Gotta love the grey…almost as good as green…

I’m kidding more green…Keizer Flash Bang

Great story. How old were the kids?

Little Case red bone 35 1/2 from the 60's thing going here today. LOVE this knife.

Nice Case Iman and as always a beautiful shot of it!

The 35 1/2 is a great pattern and one of my favorites as well.

The kids were young. They looked like siblings. The oldest, a girl, looked to be 12 or 13. The boy who was scared of dogs looked to be about 10, and the third kid, a boy, was probably about 8. I thought he was gonna' climb a tree!

Thanks Dan.

It's an Ulster.

He seemed to recover well once they passed us and Trey was off on another squirrel chase in the opposite direction.

Nah, the kids were young not teens.

Iman, your 6235 1/2 pic made me pull mine out.

This one has been around the block more than a few times. The pic is from my archive.

Iman and Sasquach... great looking Case 35 1/2 knives.

Yep, Iman and Charlie, good lookin’ ones there!

Another great set of Case red bones. Great looking knife, still got a lot of trips around the block in it. I'd carry it in a second.

Thank you gentlemen!

It's in my watch pocket as we speak. Your post made the call for me of which small EDC was getting pocket time today. This one is a "no dots" '65 - '69. Is it just me and my imagination or do the older carbon steel blades take a better edge than many of the newer knives? This little jack and several of my older canoes seem to come off the stone razor sharp with a minimum of effort. And of course there's that lovely patina they acquire with age and use. Now here's a question for you (and anyone else who may have an answer). In the pic below is an older 6235 1/2 (I think) beside the one I'm carrying. The mark side tang stamp is Case XX but the pile side is blank, no model number. Also the older knife has the master blade on the mark side in front of the secondary blade and the nail nick on the secondary blade faces the pile side while the newer knife has the master blade on the pile side behind the secondary blade and the nail nicks on both blades face the mark side. I bought the older one on ebay a few years ago and the seller didn't make any mention of it's history. I've always wondered if it had been rebuilt or modified at some time. Any thoughts?

Gorgeous Squach, saw your post and decided to shoot mine a couple more time. Great looking bone and patina. Love those knives, maybe my favorite Case pattern.

And a Brother from another blade brother: Q.

Very nice shots Iman! Hard to beat old red bone and carbon steel.

Took a new arrival on our walk today. I give you the Battle Axe folding hunter returning under new ownership. Thanks Jamie.

This thing is a BEAST! I tossed in my standard size Zippo lighter for some scale.

Great photos of superb knives, gents!

Good stuff gentlemen.

I’m not home and have limited cell service but that Battle Axe sure made it worth the 2 minutes load time to see it… very impressed with your pics Charlie….
