All About Pocket Knives

Caleb that's a beauty. I don't think I could carry something that nice for fear of scratching it or dropping it or losing it.

Ditto , Phil.

Wow maybe I should put it back.
Naaa, I'll stick with it.

It's just sat in the box for a few years now, because it has special meaning to me it has no price value to me. I carry it and remember the ones the blessed me with it, if I get rid of it, it will be to a little kid who's proud that he has a knife his granddad carried. I'm hopin' to get a few stories with it first though.

Good idea,Caleb!!

Time for me to be a man and come clean. When not in the office
I carry and use this knife daily. Look past the superglue and orange peel reminants. I picked it up at a gun show over a year ago, played with the assisted opening til the spring broke. But it holds a heck of an edge, even after using it as a phillips screwdriver. Oh well, it suits my outdoor needs. 4" blade, 440 stainless, probably lead paint.

I carry and use every knife I have from time to time but this is the one I carry most of all.
It's the only folder I ever made. I made 3 or 4 fixed blades and sold them.
I quickly got bored of making them and found repairing and restoring vintage and antique knives is where I wanted to be. I find it more challenging.

Sandvik 12c27 stainless steel matte finish lock back.
Ram horn scales with the bark removed.
Stainless steel pins.
Inlayed with a gold cross that had belonged to my Mother.
Sort of a barlow with a drop point blade.
I made this knife years ago and use it most of the time.
It has only been sharpened once when I made it and it is still razor sharp.

Wow!!!.....That is SWEET!!

Yeah Jamie, that knife is awesome with your mothers cross in the handle is soooo cool! I dig it!
Thanks for sharin it!

That's a peach of a knife, Jamie. Well done.

Carrying these two today.



I can't explain it, but there's something about old equal end multiblades that really appeals to me.

No explaination needed my friend, proofs in the picture,

Kamagong, great lookin knives! Nice choice!

Just posted this over in the Case section, but the two dot 35 1/2 on the right is seeing carry along with my GEC Scout and Mink Skinner (and my red bone Case 6347).

The 35 1/2 on the left is new and unsharpened, as is the 31 1/2 on the bottom, which I just got today. Both of these are one dot knives. Got them all fairly recently.

The big jack on the bottom is about mint--after I took the picture I hit the bolsters with some Flitz and then Ren waxed the whole knife and now it shines like a new penny! I really should have done this before I took the picture!

It's tempting to keep the 31 1/2 and the 35 1/2 one dotters as a new pair from the same year, but I LOVE that big jack--I think it's gonna go in the rotation!

I like all three!!

x2 love em, another pattern i like

Nice group Cooter. That bottom jack is sweet!

Thanks Gino. I wish I had done the Flitz and Ren wax before the photo. It looks brand new! I'm about 99% sure I'm gonna carry it though--I'm pretty sure it's Delrin and won't be super collectable.

I don't know if you've ever messed with one of the Case big jacks, but the springs on that 31 1/2 are downright scary! Keep your fingers outta that rascal!

Cooter, I have the same one in apaloosa and it is strong I know what you mean. its a great EDC knife you will love it. Nice to be able to edc a quality folder.

I can forgive a Clip Point when it's beefy and has a belly!

Them Jacks are SWEET!!!!!!!!!!
