All About Pocket Knives

A couple that I just got in......one Queen steel that I purchased from Tom (olderdogs1)on eBay. Thank you Tom. Also have a 1920-40 Case 640045 Greenbone. Both knives are really nice. I am very happy to be the owner of these two beauties. I hope you guys like them. I will try to get some better pictures and post in the Queen forum and Case forum respectively. My pictures do not do these knives justice.

I really enjoy seeing all these HOKs being given a new home!
Today I received one that has made me "fall in love" all over again. It is one of TripleF's finds, a Case 6249. This is my 1st Copperhead, it is a 1 dot('79). Sadly, someone had used it for a hammer and there were some pretty nasty places in the both front and rear bolsters. I've about got them smoothed out and tomorrow I'll see if I can get an edge on this ol' gal. The clip blade will do most everything I would need and the large pen plade will probably just sit in the well and be sharp. The handles are "real" pocket worn and the mark side is a lighter color than the pile side. It just feels good in the hand! Thanks again, Scott!

One knife a month? Never happen!

Let's see. Today is the 12th. 9 knives in 12 days. Hey, that's below average for this place.

I just received my credit card statement and noticed that I bought 30 knives during the last billing cycle...so that's an average of one knife per day! And yet, I still feel as though I exercised extreme restraint and self-control considering the number of knives I saw that I wanted but didn't buy. There comes a point when you have to be realistic and accept the fact that you can't buy 'em all.

Dan, don't you know God will kill you for lying the same as he will for stealing?

Good point Jerry.
I have now changed my mind.

My GEC 782217 American Jack Tidioute Smooth White Bone came in today's mail. What a sweetheart. I'm very pleased with this choice..

That's a beauty Jerryd!

...........jerry, that one reminds me of a CAMILLUS #23!!!!.............. .....................

That's a nice knife Jerry. I could probably get used to carrying one of those.

Looks good there jerry!! John

Thanks fellers. It will never get carried but it sure is a dandy.

Beautiful knife Jerry, great choice.

Nice lookin knife Jerry

What they said Jerry, Very nice!

I have promised myself that I will NOT buy another knife until all the ones currently being shipped have arrived. In theory, that should be about a week...

Hate to bore you with another white bone American, but I can't quit drooling and carrying this one. Ever since it got here. Everything I like in a knife and better looking than usual.

Guys,
Here are some shots of knives I picked up at the show this weekend.
!st photo and starting from the top there is a Case Saddlehorn (2009), Remington Model 1100 big trapper, Ka-Bar Cotton Sampler, Buck 100 Year Knife, Winchester Toothpick, Gonzo Tactical, NRA Outdoors Knives and a Bulldog Wharncliffe Muskrat.
In the 2nd photo are 3 Buck knives; a 119, a 102 and a 117.
Anyone know anything about the NRA knife? It is also marked Steigerwalt Design in addition to NRA Outdoors Knives?

Ray

Ray that is a very nice and diverse collection of pick-ups.

Also had a Buck Kalinga for a while but it was grabbed up.
It was a busy weekend with more sellers than buyers.

Ray

Project Knife. Imperial Clam Shell Camp Knife ... pretty good condition & soon it will have genuine bolsters and covers Derek

Derek, I am looking forward to seeing how that turns out. Eight degrees below zero Fahrenheit here this morning- I am sure you are about the same

I can't wait to see that either
