All About Pocket Knives

I've got this one on the way from CK.NET

The large smooth bolsters always provide a spiffy look, dressy.

Finally.

Went a little crazy...

The Queen is the 19EO in bird's eye maple with the one-armed man secondary blade. Seems scarce enough that the only pic I could easily find was the weird fudged one on the TPK site. One of my favorite Queens in both pattern and handle material.

This one I already had but it's making the return trip back from Dr. Lansky's laboratory after undergoing...The Procedure.

Tony looks like the surgery was a success.

The surgery is always successful when Dr. Lansky is behind the mask.

You know, I might just get that done to my Case Caliber Muskrat eventually. Never saw the point for two identical blades, and neither do I use it hat much because of it. The Moose is much better, given you've got either a spear or long spey blade, depending on who made it.

Two cheap workhorse knives. Just over $10 with shipping for both. The seller luckily combined shipping. eBay wouldn't let me do it though the "Request Total from Seller option), but the seller sent me a total when I messaged them. I knew two lightweight knives didn't cost $8 to ship from Indiana!

A Schrade USA CH-7 Cliphanger "Viper". Just under $5. Missing the lanyard, but I found something else to put in its place (see below). I have a CH-3, but find it a bit small for heavy work use. There are lanyards or more accurately "Cliphangers" for Cliphangers to be found, but only those for the CH-3 and CH-4 models; and those are much smaller.
An Imperial Ireland National Rifle Association promo lightweight Barlow (appears to be the AP22 model). I bid on it because it was listed as being a Colonial, but I didn't look too good at the picture. Those were actually later knives, made in 2005; and were modeled after the Imperial since it was no longer available. Still, I know I didn't waste two bucks. These are great knives at a steal. I quite like my TM-2 Screwdriver (Electrician). Really lightweight, and it cost a pittance as well. Not really heavy duty like a standard TL-29, however.

Some metal pocket clips with a Cliphanger quick release; to replace the missing lanyard (which so far, I can't find). $6 for all six--another seller wanted that for one. According to an old Schrade magazine ad, I think it was in our research page, these were sold as optional accessories to the Cliphangers. Now to find the clip-on (using the same quick-release mechanism) flashlight, whistle/compass, and sharpener mentioned in that same ad (having never seen one, my money is on them never having been produced). The extras I plan to probably give to those needing them, and to fit on the next CH-7 I buy (which for sure will have a lanyard!) to give it a double-secure mechanism (lanyard clipped to belt loop, clip on right front pocket).

I got it!

I paid through the nose for it but i got it!

Finally... 43 Orange Camel Bone is inbound. 43 is a great pattern.

Tony, J1890 some knice bones there.

Starting to trickle in... Mine's on the way!

Man you did go crazy Tsar. That’s a lot of knives. Nice picks all.
I don’t usually collect Schrade but this one came up on Ebay the other night. Ever since I saw another one of these sell about a year ago I have had it on my radar. 340T in red bone.

Love it in bone! All my Old Timers are the usual material; 3 34OTs (the user, my great-granddad's, and the NIB one in that same box I was given in 2006 when my collection started), a 12OT, a 106OT, and a 3OT are in Delrin, and it's getting a bit boring.

Cody, That’s one reason I don’t collect Schrades as a rule. All 3 Shrades I have in my collection are bone handles, blue rope jigged, smooth green and now smooth red bone. These bone ones don’t go cheap either. That’s what got my attention. The auction I watched last year was from some attorney and he offered 2 of these in red bone, went for close to 300 for both. So when I saw this one the other night I put in 3 different high bids and won it by .12 cents. Excited to get it.
I agree delrin doesn’t excite me in the least. Plus I have seen it crack and shrink over time. Not often but enough that I am not a fan.
Thanks

Sellers photo. Been kinda wanting one of these and finely got one.

Nice lookin' one Big H!

I really like that pattern. Seems very practical, seeing as on a Stockman, I don't use the spey too often; except for fruit.

That older Imperial is in GREAT condition ! It is at least a 50 yr old knife.

Nice score bighomer.

You fellers are making me feel all fuzzy, now I'm really excited and glad I got it. Thx.

Very cool Homer - I never knew Imperial offered a Black Beauty style pocketknife, only knew about the Western Fixed Blade Black Beauty - which you now need! OH

Well now OH I don't go out of my way for a fixed blade, but if one came along at the right price, well.

Cool Imperial Big H. the scales are cool too, what material is that? Nice blade combo, like that one, good score.
Congrats Bomba, yeah that 14 autumn gold is a looker. My fav of your haul. Hope you didn't put yourself in the doghouse on that one. Nice.
J1890 that is some fine bone. Love the camel bone. In any color too. Good ones all.
