All About Pocket Knives

Yessirree!!!

The Swell End EO Jack is beautiful. Are the handles polished bone ? This one has a full blade. Most of the EO Jacks seen have blade loss but the blade originally was 'deep', spine to edge, like this one, so they can loose a moderate amount of blade and still appear as though near full.
Is "Royal" the brand ? Who was the manufacturer ?

2013 GEC Northfield 85 Bullet End Jack, EZ open liner lock, smooth ivory bone, high gloss shine. Full blade not sharpened yet. Thanks for the compliment.

Love that knife I-man!!

Knice to see u postin' J-BUG!!!!

I should have recognized the Swell End EO Jack as a #85 GEC, because, i just received my 2016 #85 with a saber ground spearpoint and smooth autumn gold bone, a Mike Latham SFO. It is a slim knife similar to the #99 "Wall Street", and i like a slim knife. Are all 85's like this ? (slim as opposed to thick).

No. My Stag 85P is rather porky. I sorta offer it in trade for a slimmer model.....

Glenn removed the pen blade from this 9 dot Case 6247 and made it into a 6147 for me! ...srraight into the pocket it went, I am going to give this one some serious mileage now. Super slim and pocket friendly with a nice large single blade, snaps like a gator and has great bone. Lovin' it.

I like that one alot Mike!!!

Here's a unique Western States, Boulder Peanut that I've been carrying for a while.
Blades are rusted to pitts, but it's still a good knife. Slightest wobble on that most sharpened pen.
Three blades and the reverse shaped peanut frame are unique to me. 3" closed.
Other peanuts curve up or down on the cap end, but this peanut is all .... twiz-twaz.

Cool mod Mike, great bones, sweet knife.
Joe the scales look like tree rings, very cool.

Finally Friday

Thanks Ivoryman.

Joe, what is the bottom knife with off white handles ?
kj

That is a rehandled Schrade .cut. Co.
Smooth white bone.
Thanks.

Joe - I like that Western states! Nice old scales: they did some cool stuff with celluloid.

Thank you, Mel. I agree, the old celluloid was neat stuff. It would be nice to have some history of the way it was produced and how the designs were formed. All forgotten now I suppose.

Beautiful Schrade Cut Co. I think this is one of many that Herman Williams did for you ?

No sir. I don't know that man. This was rehandled by Muskrat Man. Original covers were celluloid that were shrinking. Thank you, it is a great little knife.

I put my watch back removal tool ( a key knife) in one shorts pocket and my Imperial Scout in the other. Two watches defy my efforts to remove the back.

And the Imperial has fuzzy rust on the blade!

Joe, what's the closed length on that Schrade?

Jerry, It's 3 inches closed.

The frame and closed length matches that Camillus I've been trying to identify.
