All About Pocket Knives

Nice MrB! You are gonna have to build a west wing on to your ranch just to house them Muskrats before long.

Thanks for the comments on my trapper, much appreciated.

Dave, muskrats are one of my favorite patterns, you always seem to find the good ones. Great pattern to stockpile!!!

Tom

Nice knives being found and posted!

Steve, your copperhead is nice! I like the looks of the copperhead bolster and how they feel in the pocket. I fidget with a knife when it's in my pocket and don't like feeling the sharp edge of the closed blade tang. The copperhead bolster does a nice job of covering the edge and making it smooth. I don't carry a copperhead like yours, but do carry a copperlock frequently.

Tom, very nice Tested Trapper!

MrBlister, nice additions to your den of muskrats.

Thanks Jerry. I like them for the same reason and they are sized right there in the sweet spot for me. I don't understand why the makers don't/didn't hit the sharp edges with a wheel to break them. Added cost I suppose but was there maybe another reason?

Great looking knives, Steve, OD and Mr. B!

Just picked up this green bone XX trapper.....the others are hanging around for comparison!!

hakd, all 3 knives are nice - especially the green bone trapper!

Tang stamp is a little different. Thanks for looking.

Steve, I like the Case Bros. series too - nice knife. This one came yesterday, one of my favorite Case patterns, the 18 Medium Stockman - from 1980. OH

OH,

Larry

Thanks OH. Nice pick up with the stockman, a great pattern.

Deleted;thanx anyway

Dogg, I personally was liking the Case knife pickup. Saw it today and was working so I didn't get a chance to look at my books. Not sure it'll be in the books that I have though.I really thought the blade was cool and thought it too would make a great skinning knife.
Hope you repost it so maybe you get answers to your questions.
I picked up a thinner blade, not sure what to call it, CASE XX paring knife from Scott a while back. Blade is about 6 inches long. No model number that I can see. That is my go-to all-purpose knife in the kitchen for sure. Excellent steel and hold a great edge.
The blade on the knife you posted it was really cool. If the price tag is what you paid for it I'll take that all day long. I only have the experience with this particular one but if the one I have is any indication of the quality of Case kitchen and butcher knives, I will fill the kitchen drawer for sure.
Here is mine...
Nice pickups everyone.

Jerry, I've got a question. How long is the knife in the photo? Almost could be a small filet knife ? I've got in the habit lookin' through the piles of "kitchen type" knives at the junk stores, you never know what you'll find.

Phillip, she has a 6 inch blade and finger grooves. You may be on to something. Fish or veggie, cuts the heck out of anything in its path.

Thanks dogg. Will try to locate thread and take look when I can. Life is extra chaotic at the moment.
Regards, Jerry

Have you "beverage" drinkers seen these? I ordered one in Kirinite today, hopefully before it went on back order.
