All About Pocket Knives

I guess I'd better dig up my old 77OT that I've been using for years and continue on. It'll do the job but not with the class of that beautiful Muskrat.

Got this one a while back from XXTestedXX ( Zach )
Tested Greenbone 6161L

Larry, very nice add to the green bone collection. I can't recall seeing another one of these in bone.

Super awesome Larry. You are cornering the market on the old Greenbone knives. ::

Tom

Larry,that is something else!

Thanks guys

I ask RalphAlsip ( Jerry ) if he would take a few pictures of my Greenbone collection. Here are some of my favorite
Thanks Jerry

Fine photos of fine knives.

I never get tired of looking at your knives Larry.

Me either.

Nice knives, Larry, and Jerry does an excellent job with the camera.

All sweet lookers, Larry, but I really like that 6380!

I have a very rough idea what kind of an investment the OP has in these absolutely primo tested era Case's ... impressive to say the least ! I've seen a few of these on eBay & can't say I've ever seen any in better shape - every one posted is in better condition than the last. What truly amazes me is that there were guys back in those days that had the wherewithal to put Case knives aside for the collector market and not use them so that they would be preserved for infinitum (thing to remember is that just putting them away isn't enough - those old blades need to be maintained so its no accident they haven't rusted over time just stored in their own boxes) - I guess they must have been much more forward thinking than I would have been I bet every one of those truly primo vintage knives has a story ... again, the fact they weren't used and haven't rusted, wasn't an accident.

NOOB question of the day for the vintage guys ... when the tested era knives were new - were they made so the working man could afford them, or were they made for the budding collector market way back then ?

They were definitely made to use.Very few are left in unused condition,That's why they are worth so much.

Pick up a few more Greenbones for the collection

Awesome knives Larry. I really like the Case Bradford 94

Tom

Larry, nice cokebottles. The flat blade is super nice! Is the shield plain / unlettered on the flat blade?

I like the Bradford 94 too. It looks familiar.

Never seen a Greenbone 64052 outside of a book ! Awesome group of knives!

Just added another Greenbone to the pile

Tested XX 63109 3 Spring Whittler with a citrus peeler Long Pull 3 5/8”

Wow Larry, you're getting out there in some rare air with that one.

That's awsome. I've never even heard of a citrus peeler. Very cool thanks for showing that Larry

Larry, the Tested Citrus peeler is really pretty and a nice addition to your Green bone collection.
