All About Pocket Knives

If done properly, yellow is a great handle color. Iman, that one was done right!

An old Kabar made for Sears

Thanks doglegg, tvic, toomany. So right, yellow is great color and I love the subtle hue and the way light glows around the edges as it comes through. All thanks to Jeffin's Second Life Knives. Improving the knife world one set of scales at a time.

There's yellow and then there's yeller, there's different shades here but all have a yellow hue in hand although some were not supposed to.

Winner
Congrats!!

Sorry so many pictures Dad had many yellows.
Please let me know if any don’t qualify. I am not the collector my dad was. Not sure if cracked ice qualify and a couple others. Folder #1 has three possibly 4 and Folder #2 has two that I can see. Sorry for the clutter of other knives. Those are the pictures I have available. They definitely look yellow too me.

Another estate sale find from last year. A Buck 332. I went on the first day of the sale and went home empty handed. Everything was too expensive. I went back on the last day a couple hours before they closed and this was still there for $13.

One more

Yesterday afternoon, this pocket knife arrived in a group or lot of pocket knives that I purchased. I did NOT purchase the group or lot of pocket knives to obtain this particular pocket knife. However, it did get added to my general, pocket knife accumulation. It is a The Ideal, two blades, two tang stamps, two springs, 3 1/4" closed, "dimpled" pins or rivets, tipped bolsters, pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says, "The Ideal (written) (over) U.S.A." The secondary blade front tang stamp says, "U.S.A." The main blade does NOT have a half stop. The main blade does have a GOOD opening snap. The main blade does have a GOOD closing snap. The secondary blade does have a CRISP half stop. The secondary blade does have a GOOD opening snap. The secondary blade does have a GOOD closing snap. This pocket knife is in FAIR condition. This pocket knife did NOT need any cleaning at all. I just wiped it off. I took some pictures and here it is.
Caption(s), if any, are on the BOTTOM of the corresponding picture(s).

Always nice to get a little extra surprise when you buy a group of knives. Congrats on that one, Skip!
