All About Pocket Knives

What a great looking display of mini trappers. The mini trapper is the only type of trapper that I would, and do, carry. I find the two long blades of a traditional trapper to be impractical for what I use a knife for. Plus they just look good.

Mahalo, Mark I agree on all counts

Time to wake up this thread with some eye candy. My Eureka jack collection. Wish I hadn’t sold two Tony Bose collaboration Eureka’s a few years back, but water under the bridge. Got the snakewood in today. Lined up all the 2025’s and 2019’s for a couple of shots.

Beautiful Great pattern...nice assortment of handles

Mark, I totally hear you about regretting selling certain knives. I feel the same way.....a lot. I have even re-purchased some knives but I finally had to make a personal rule not to buy any knives that I once owned but sold

Thanks Q, It is a great pattern. Honestly I didn’t know anything about the Eureka jack pattern until 2019. Didn’t full appreciate them until I got a few. GEC has made this with some beautiful handles over time. The TB Case Eureka’s are all pretty sweet too. Maybe someday I will acquire a collection with one in it to keep, maybe someday.

Very nice, those are beautiful, great variety too

Thanks Garddogg and Gus.

Here is another sub collection I have. I love gunstock jacks, surprisingly I only have 5. Funny how some of my favorites are in the low single digits, like sowbelly stockmans and whittlers. Not sure why that is? Here are the 5 I have. Wendell Carson camel bone, GEC Buffalo Jack with some of the finest stag I have seen on one of these, two Marbles and one Canal Street made RIgid gunstock jack.

Case stag canoes and baby butterbeans.

Got the G-96 family together again for a family portrait.

Basically the same knife in blue camel bone with hamon and mammoth tooth with copper infused damascus

Real nice Gunstocks, Mark!
Awesome Stag collection, Charlie!
Good looking set of G-96s, knife7knut!
Great pair there, chickenman! Nice Damascus!

Wow Charlie, what a nice collection of canoes, anyone would be proud to own that.
Knifeknut, those are impressive G96s.
Chickenman, those are gorgeous. I have a thing for Damascus infused with copper and other alloys. That one is a special knife.

Recently added a couple Queen made Swing Guards (aka Cheetahs) to that sub-collection and got a group shot with a few others.
