Very cool! I was gifted a RR Loomfixer with red and white Christmas handles a couple of years back. I like the green!

Sweet additions! Especially like the green & white with the red shield. Great color combo!

Colonel26, does this qualify as a loomfixer? Boker celebrated stag.

Jimbo

Actually my Boker says improved cutlery not celebrated. Even though I’m celebrating that I found this knife! Ha!

Jimbo

Got a Ka-Bar also that could fix a loom I’m sure!

I’m not sure, but I’ll send you my address and you can send it to me and I’ll give it a good look over.

I don’t think I see a secondary pen blade, is that just the pic or is the knife a single blade? Kabar did make a Loomfixer, but they also made a single sheepsfoot blade knife too.

A Loomfixer has that swayback handle shape, 4”, a main sheepsfoot, and a secondary pen.

But like the Boker, send it here and I’ll look it over for verification!

Nice knives guys.

I’d say Yes on the Boker being a LoomFixer as long as it is close to the correct dimensions.

The single blade KA-BAR with the shackle is what I’d call a rope knife.

The kabar does only have the one blade. That Boker is short also! 3 1/4” Damn, I’m loom fixerless! This small Boker could only fix a child’s loom I guess. Ha!
I’ll have to dig a little deeper to find a sure enough loomfixer now. This has become a quest colonel.

Jimbo

Thanks eveled for the info. I had never heard of a knife called a loomfixer before the colonel. I’m learning alot in my old age for sure! I’ll hold on to these 2 colonel since they don’t qualify anyway. They would look real inferior to those great full size loomfixers of yours! You have a great collection!

Hey Scott, I’m loomfixerless too!

Jimbo

That Boker being a little smaller than a LoomFixer I think would be a New England Whaler.

Beautiful stag on it. Its a great knife.

Here's my only one that I know qualifies to be a loomfixer, an XX 6217: Treefarmer

Brother, it just ain’t right leading a feller into covetousness.

Ain’t a thing wrong with that Boker or Kabar either one!

I agree colonel, I love ‘em for what they are. I actually have another almost loomfixer. It’s just a bit small at 3 1/2” but a great knife. It’s etched lambsfoot on the main blade. I’m gonna fool around and get addicted to this loomfixer knife if I ain’t careful.

Jimbo

Great case loomfixer there tree farmer. Case has some really nice bone handles.

Very nice I would be very proud of them.

Scott, that CASE is real nice! I don’t have a XX era,, but I did stumble up on a XX USA bone handled one a few years back. I like em.

Got this KA-BAR Loom Fixer last week. Won cheap. It's been heavily used but still has plenty of use left in it. I like it.

That’s awesome! I’ve looked in and off for a long while fkr a Kabar version. I’ll look for a while, nothing. Then I get distracted by something else, and they show up. Lol.

That one will make a great user.

Man you guys have some killer loomfixers! I’m just downright jealous! Those case loomfixers are sweet!

i looked for a long time and gave up. One popped up a few years back that was really nice and went for a tidy sum. Haven't seen another till this one showed up. I was the only one who bid on it so got it cheap.
