All About Pocket Knives

Really cool color in the bones on that '79 Barlow.

Thanks for the kind words on the barlow fellas! Here's another little beauty I just got in today, it's a 9 dot 23087 stockman with smooth black handles, unused and mint!

Ooowee Mike thats clean looking

That smooth black is sweet Mike.

Thanks guys, it is hard to get a good pic that shows it off properly, it is so smooth.

Variety is the spice of life, love that smooth black -087, Mike.

Very unusual tang stamping on that one. Tested XX long tail C with lightning S combo. I guess since it's a SFO for NKCA they must have specified it as such.

Scored this 1940 - 1965 Stag Fixed Blade earlier this week....

Nice find Scott. Looks mint?

That is SCHWEEEETTTT John

Yep Scott, that one is a beauty, nice find!

Here are a couple of modern Case knives I just acquired and am quite happy with.
1996 Pocket worn deep red bone canoe...and a 2016 persimmon orange bone tiny toothpick
outstanding fit and finish on both, great walk and talk, and both are quite snappy. I wasn't planning on liking the tiny toothpick as much a I do, but the bone is surprisingly nice and has alot of character to it, and it packs alot of blade for a 3" knife.
Thumbs up on both of these modern Case knives.

Nice Mike really like the canoe

That pocket worn red bone is one of my favorites, get looking knives guys!

Nice knives Mike. If you decide to carry that toothpick, with those bright orange handles you're not likely to loose it!

These two arrived this week; the eight dot 11031SH fulfills a checkmark on my Case list, it's in NOS condition. The 6318 is a 1976, has Delrin handles and stainless steel blades. It was bought to EDC, if not for the poorly ground master blade it would be perfect - of course I got it cheap and there is plenty enough blade for EDC purposes. OH

OH, That whaler is PURTEEE and the 6318 is just right for pocket totin.

Great pick ups OH! Coincidentally an 8 dot whaler is on my list to find as well! Congrats on finding yours, looks to be in outstanding condition too. Those 6318's sure ride nice in the pocket, that one will make a nice carry.

Thanks for the compliments and comments gents!

Just to be clear, that knife isn't a Whaler (or at least it isn't the knife Case branded as a Whaler). Here is a shot of my three 1970's era Case knives with wood scales and Sheepfoot main blades; a 6217 Loom Fixer, a 1199SH R Whaler, and the newest one, the 11031SH barehead, single blade jackknife. The blade lengths and frames are different sizes on each of them. Sheepfoot blades are 3-1/8" on the Whaler, 2-15/16" on the Loom Fixer, and 2-11/16th on the jackknife. OH

Would you like to get rid of that Loomfixer?

No, no, no......!

Good Lord, Barry. Were you tryin' to give the man a heart attack?

That's almost the same reaction I got when I bought my last house and asked the seller to leave his brand new John Deere lawn tractor. Hell, I didn't know he had just bought the blamed thing.

OH.. That Loom Fixer sure is a niceun!!!! John

Very nice knives, Old Hunter.

I bought this really cool little 3" swell center from Steve (knifeaholic). Lovin it.
