All About Pocket Knives

It is a gorgeous knife. As you, and everyone else would know, you cannot tell just by photo's. The feel in the hand, and the look to the naked eye is how we all judge a knife, and this knife ticks all those boxes. It is now the best in my collection, but i may be biased, because i really love wood scales. Thanks to yourself and everyone for all your kind remarks.

A couple of these "should" be here tomorrow, Monday. The rest arrive within a few days to a week.
ALL are the seller's pictures. I will re-post in the proper forums/threads after I receive them and
"clean" them. Four Camillus, an Imperial Scouting, another Geo Schrade wire handle, a Colonial, a
Klein & Son, Chicago and a Schrade. The Imperial, Colonial and the Klein knives were one lot.

N Y NW those even make a mail box look good. Looking forward to your getting them.

I like those little Klein EOs. I do believe they, along with the regular Kutmaster ones are the only American made EOs still being made. I have 3 of them myself; one with linerlock, two without (I prefer the latter; the lockup isn't good with the linerlock). Around here, they're rather inexpensive, given the coal mines bought a ton of them. I like them as just something to throw in the pocket for light household stuff, but they are quite a capable pattern and will do heavy work. Been thinking about taking a couple of them and making something akin to the GEC Beer Scout.

This will be my first knife of this pattern. I was going after the Imperial Scout Knife and the other two were bonuses. I will give each one it's own pocket carry time.

I should be receiving these two sometime next week. A Harley Davidson 1999 HD21 and a Kutmaster, two Camillus 72 variations.

What's the closed length on the Kutmaster? ......and pattern number?

Per the SELLER'S description, 3 9/16" closed and no pattern #.
I will verify this when I receive the knife.
Also says unused, never sharpened.

A couple more that should arrive next week.
The bottom one is pretty interesting.
You'll find out why when I get it.

Two more arriving next week. A Schrade and a Kent. They were one lot.
Just wanted the Schrade, the Kent was a bonus.
Seller's pictures.

Got this Rough Rider Swing Guard delievered today. It matches the Rough Rider Trapper I got a few weeks ago, both in the "Outdoorsman Series." It's an attractive knife, but not one I will carry a lot.

Another Camillus 72 will soon be joining the family.
A Craftsman USA 9494 (Camillus 72 variation) tang stamp punch will soon be in my possession.
Pictures are the seller's.

I bought this Geo Schrade wire jack a few minutes ago. "Should" receive it between ? and ?
I can't figure out what is going on with the blade guard/spacer. It looks like it's reversed, with
the red on the inside, not the outside. Will figure it out when I get it. I will clean it and re-post
the pictures here: viewtopic.php?f=35&t=3137&start=105#p748729
These pictures are the seller's.

This Schrade 863 (Camillus 72 variation) should be in the mail, on it's way to me, on Monday.

To bad the master blade has been tipped and reshaped. Should make a good user.

It'll definitely see some pocket time.

A guy on another forum had a few items for sale, and I noticed in a "Free With Purchase" pile, he had a laminated steel KJ Eriksson Mora Scout Knife (with leather sheath!) and two electrician's knives. Negotiated a price of $15 shipped for the Mora and the Imperial (Klein had already been sold).

I am very curious as to how the laminated steel will perform--anyone here have any experiences with it?

I just obtained this a few moments ago. A fairly nice looking, wire handled
hawkbill pruner. I will clean it up and re-post in it's proper place (when I receive it).

With football season starting... I had to pick this little guy up. Go Bills!

Cody that has been their selling point for years. And they have a quality reputation. I've had one since I was a kid and they are durable an do hold an edge.

My latest addition to the Camillus 72 family of "variations."
This McGrew Arkansas Hillbilly Classic. Picture is the seller's.
When I get it, you know where I'll post it.

You are making splendid progress on this collection and quickly. Congratulations.

I don't remember, do you have the McGrew National Wood Carvers Assoc 40th Anniv 1993 edition?

I think, but do not know for sure, that there are a couple of other variations floating around out there.

Believe me, I can spot these variations a mile away. Well, at least a computer screen away.

Yeah. I get it. I'll just keep my mouth shut now.
