All About Pocket Knives

jmh ya ain't seen nothing yet...
Jerry i think you hit the nail square on the head... It's like being between a rock and a hard place...we ain't going to win no matter what we try...
The steel is way under rated on these babies. Takes an edge like a razor and super easy to sharpen.
You said it cody... 6 present here so far.

One more. They say jigged grey bone but the pictures look more like smooth gray bone to me. We'll see when it gets here.

jd that sure looks like smooth bone to me. No jigging marks to be seen. I guess the seller is a newbie.

Next one that's still grinding it's way north...
A Case XX Bill Lewis Custom Ox Bone Toothpick. All the fancy file work, shes a beauty. Just the wait...

That's some nice filework.

Yes it sure does look good, doesn't it...
On to even more...
I just went and looked at tracking for them knives...
Winchester Charcoal Copper Cheetah and Hen & Rooster Bowie are at my post office...
Only problem its -35 Cel. Out side right now. No way vehicle will start. Have to wait till tomorrow...
Just one day left for these bad boys to fall into my little grubby hands...

Where was i...ok, picked up these 2 vintage 1st generation Fight' N Rooster Frank Buster Metal Gents pen knives. I love little gents knives and Fight' N Rooster knives.

Here's the other one,

Nice lookin' Fight'n Roosters!

Weak Will here with another character flaw acquisition.

Seller's photo of course.

Jerry, I'm afraid that most of us are sitting on stools in the knife acquisition bar, swearing this one will be our last. "Just one more then I'm going home". But I like the bone and bolsters. Knice pick up.

Floyd, that Wharncliffe blade caught my eye and the bone kept me coming back for another look but it was the bolsters that put the "twitch" in my finger when it was over the buy button.

Couldn't have said it better myself, jerryd...that's exactly how it happened for me: wharncliffe, bone, bolsters, purchase...in that order.

Not a character flaw (weak will) so much as discriminating taste--for which I salute you.

I've got mine in hand and have absolutely no regrets. I think you'll probably feel the same way.

Thank you Doc B!
You are real knotty jd... Now you have reminded me of the canoe in the series...bad boy..
Yes doglegg, now i want that trapper...
Thank you QTCut! Hmm, Hmm, i shall think to have my tea, with 2 crumpets and jam. Thee have, told all, well...
hahahahaha!

Ahh, my good friend ~Q~. Once again you come to my rescue. Thank you my friend.

Well, it had been since last year that I got me any more pocket knives. SO.....
At lunch, I sat down and found me a couple I just had to have.

I found a couple of Uticas.....

This here Cattle Knife.....
AND right along side of it I saw this Stockman I needed.
It has a leather punch on it too..... (Which I thought was pretty cool)
Yep, they are a bit worse for the wear but I think I might be able to clean 'em up and get then to a presentable state.

This arrived in the mail today. Northwoods Harrison Bay with black micarta scales.
This is my first Northwoods knife, and I’m very impressed.
Also, a big thank you to gunman724 in the AAPK store.

Couldn't resist this snakewood muskrat from AAPK's own Kennedy Knives...

I got this guy coming to me.

Ebony wood Case 6318. Couldn't pass it up.

If Shepherd Hills ships tomorrow, I should have this Mini-Trapper before the end of the week.

Won this Case 11031 SHCC last night. Sellars pic.

Nice!!!! I would love to have a Case Loom Fixer to go with the Ka-Bar.

Well sugar. Looks like it's not a Loom Fixer after all.

"*Another knife with this 31 pattern number is a 3 3/4″ jack knife that most refer to as a whaler or navy knife. They have a single sheepfoot blade, and usually have the letters SH following the pattern number. They all have walnut handles and were produced without rear bolsters. Case began manufacturing this knife sometime prior to 1940, and discontinued it in the 70′s."

I hope you find one to go with your Ka-Bar Jerry. It would be nice to find a good Case Loom Fixer some day. Till then this one will do for now.

The 06 sickness still has a hold of me. Had to get the set.
