All About Pocket Knives

Roland you have very good ones as well! My collection is small but getting there.

That's a fantastic knife Paul! Great example

That 8133 with obliques is just awesome - congrats on that find! Also I don't think I've seen an 890 before but this one here has EVERYTHING going for it.

Thanks Eric and Jason.

Jason the 890's stopped forever in the early 60's, they didn't make it to swinden as far as I know. I prefer them to the 3 5/16" square bolster stockman frame. Of course there were a few cut variants as well.

I know, I don't need them but I just can't resist the jr cattle knives and the bidding didn't get high. Neither are collection pieces (thankfully I have that covered) but they sure are great for carrying. Tight snappy blades all around and the bone is still solid on both of them. The 856 is a pretty good one aside from the patches but that gives me an excuse to use it some. I won't feel bad about taking the ulster plumbing with me.

I just snagged this Cut Co Lobster, 2⅞", with complete tools and no cracks or chips in the pearl.
The mark side has some nice figure in the MOP.

That's a great one Jeff.

Knice find Jeff ... those lobsters are one of my favorites... especially from the old makers...

Thanks Paul and Ken. It's my first lobster, but I couldn't resist it. I do have lots of pearl, though, it's a weakness.

I have an odd ball Jack Knife Shop, I think it was made by SCHRADE but has a different type Handles and no shield. What do you think?

I wish I could help you, Jacknifeben, but I can't. Two good looking jack knives there.

Here's an old survivor. 3 5/8" closed.

I just picked up this SW NY 295K peanut off the bay. Very clean and snappy, makes me happy!

As it should Jeff.

That's a beauty, Jeff. Butter and Molasses on a knife is like a li'l black dress on a woman. Well... probably not, but that's sure a pretty little knife!

Thanks, gents!

I got me a new potato sticker.

GREAT knife Paul!

I had a feeling that one was going your way, Paul. Glad to see that it made it home safely!

That's a real beauty, Paul.

Thanks guys.

I am always a little uneasy about knives in this condition coming through the mail and getting damaged or lost but this one thankfully made it safe and sound.

Well this ole thang popped up as a BIN for a good price and I snagged it. I'm pretty happy with the great bones that it has.

Love those old bare head bones. Sweet!

Added this Geo Schrade wire handle folder (very bottom in 1st picture) to my other Geo Schrade wire handle folders.
I will now go after a Geo Schrade wire handle hawkbill knife.
