All About Pocket Knives

I purchased this knife a few hours ago. Not my first wire-jack hawkbill pruner, but my first wire-jack hawkbill pruner with a Boker tang stamp. I'll post MY pictures when I get it. The pictures below are the seller's.

Soon to be on its way to me.
There are some things I just do not need to type into the search bar.

I think that's the first Wire Jack I have seen with a Boker USA stamp as well. I have seen quite a few Hunting and Fishing knives with them.

Here is one (NOT mine) that was posted this past Wednesday.

I just bought this wire-jack hawkbill pruner a few minutes ago. It's probably a Geo Schrade, hopefully a Boker. I don't know for sure. I'll clean it up when I receive it and post MY pictures in the appropriate location(s). These pictures are the seller's.

I bought this one about an hour ago. A Stanley SL6, 3 blade, swelled center, whittler, pocket knife. When I receive it, if it needs a gentle cleaning, it will get one. I will post MY pictures in the appropriate place(s). This picture is the seller's.

Skip, you must spend your entire day sitting in front of the computer, scrolling through eBay listings.

Jerry, I'm single and I'm retired. I do anything I want, whenever I want and wherever I want. But to answer your question, NO, not the "entire" day.

Sounds like we're fraternal twins. I have a lady friend but we're not married and don't live together. We've been "together" for going on 30 years but this arrangement works best for us. I too do what I want, when I want and how I want. I should have stayed active after I retired but I didn't and now it's come back to bite me in the posterior. Oh well. Life goes on. I too spend quite a bit of time on the computer but "not all the time".

WELL..... It's not a 72 clone.... (sorry to disappoint.....LOL)
But, I found myself another Master Mechanic I didn't have. This one is the 8MM. (not 8 millimeter....LOL)
It's in the mail....

That's a really good un' Mike . Long pull and round key shield set in off in my book .
I can here Ernie Fords voice singing in me head. I really like that song too!
Good stuff.

I purchased these 5 knives this morning. From top to bottom, an Imperial "steer head", an Imperial "deer head", an Imperial fixed blade, with sheath, "elk head", a Colonial fixed blade "elk head" and a "short-line" Camillus 72. When I receive them, if they need it, they will get a cleaning and I will post MY pictures in the appropriate location(s). The menagerie and my Camillus collection continues to grow. These pictures are the seller's.

Skip, another great find. I am still married and love it. I do what ever she wants me to do, when ever she wants me to do it and how ever she wants me to. She is like my executive secretary.

There you go, Floyd! That's the other side of the coin.

Floyd, I added another knife to my previous post. I have nothing against marriage, I tried it and got taken for a VERY expensive ride. I'm truly glad you're happy.

Thanks Skip at not being offended at my feeble attempt at humor. I marvel that any woman would voluntarily choose to spend her life with me. God has blessed me with a very wonderful wife.
And the knife you added is a worthy addition. I can't make out the tang stamp. Is it a short line? I carry a short line like that. And again that Stanley looks new. You keep coming up with things for me to keep an eye out for. Thanks.

I was able to magnify/enlarge one of the seller's pictures (not posted) of the Camillus 72 and I'm 99.99% sure that it's a "short-line." NONE of the seller's pictures were very clear. I posted the two "best" ones. The seller thought the "72" tang stamp was the year. I DID NOT correct him. Oh Floyd, never worry about "offending" me, it's nearly impossible.

I bought these two knives yesterday. Another Imperial "deer head" and another BOKER U.S.A. wire-jack, hawkbill pruner. When I receive them, they will get the once over and I will post MY pictures in the appropriate location(s). These pictures are the seller's.

I purchased this knife earlier this evening. Another Imperial "steer head" pocket knife. When I receive it, I'll give it the once over and post MY pictures in the appropriate location(s). These pictures are the seller's.

Scheduled for Tuesday delivery is this Case Brooks & Dunn 07 Mini-Trapper. Particularly liked the Long Horn figure on the handle. Seller's picture of course.

Very nice looking knife Jerry.

Thanks Skip. Let's hope it comes out to look as good as the picture.

I bought this about an hour ago. The pictures are the seller's. Funny thing, the rest of the pictures only showed the same two blades open. I could clearly see the closed third blade. I'm pretty sure this is a Remington R14. I'll find out soon enough. I don't believe it will need any cleaning. I'll post MY pictures in the appropriate location(s).

Jerry, that one will feel at home at your place. I have an affinity for longhorns. Great pick up.
Skip, I bet you are right on that one. Does that make all 3 for you? Great little set.

I'd say so.
