All About Pocket Knives

I picked up this Cattaraugus large pen at a gunshow over the weekend. It is a #22586, with dark wood handles, either rosewood or ebony. And that shield is "the bomb".

You sure picked up a nice one Olde Cutler. Looks to be in great condition. Here is one I just got. R6483, with a good etch.

That Remington is in really nice shape, almost like new. I don't very often see an etch that nice on an old Remington.

I have a couple Remington's with an etch. The pen knives for me have been few and far between with an etch. Some I think never had one and others just have had to much use. Thanks for the compliment.

This is a Case Tested XX 6276 1/2. The 3 blade example of the 76 pattern is a split backspring whittler and I have seen the 2 blade version called a half-whittler, but I think it is more correctly identified as a pen knife. I'm looking for 6276 1/2 with a long pull.

Wow, Jerry. That is so sweet and clean. Very nice!

Bostwick Braun Co. I have come to love this little knife.

Joe, Thank you for the gracious comment. You have posted some real beauties in this thread.

Here are three more that I picked up recently. A Camillus a Case and an Empire.

Those MOPs look great.

Why thank you QS! That shiny irradiance is one of my weaknesses.

Here's one of my pen knives. Phoenix Knife Co

To all (Olde Cutler, Keith, Jerry, Tsar B and Greg) - Beautiful pens posted over the last 2 or so pages

Mike - The Phoenix pen is awesome - looks like natural "I" handles too

Here's one I had. H Boker & Co's Improved Cutlery 1907-1914. Dimitri has it now.

Here's some of my traditional pen knives:

A Northfield Knife Co. A Union Cutlery Co. And an Elsener Victorinox

Great looking knives and thanks Longblade!!

I love small knives much more than large. My two favorites from my meager collection are a Case 9201 "Senators Knife" from 1965-1969 and a Case 06263 "Eisenhower" from 1980.

There are a few pens lying around my nest. Here's a Colonial, a Case, a Robeson and another Case.

Another pen knife with political etch.

Another gem, Mike.
Very nice.

Thanks Joe

That's one dandy find Mike!

Some great looking knives above all

Mike - Awesome piece of cutlery with historical importance - Wow .. much nicer than a campaign button... I really like those old and unique knives

Some great looking pen knives displayed here. I have not seen one with the political etch before. I picked up this Rodgers this weekend at the local fleamarket for a couple of bucks. Both handles chipped. Will be rehandling it with a Kirinite in a similar color/pattern. The stamp on the blade says "cutlers to his majesty". Does that mean this one was made before Queen Elizabeth became Queen in 1953? Or did they always mark them this way with "his majesty"?

I wish I could help you with that question, but I can't, but I do like your knife, especially for a couple bucks.
