All About Pocket Knives

If your camera has an SD card, remove it and plug it in to your laptop.

Just got this Northfield GEC 25 from KnifeSlinger#81. Antique Amber Jigged Bone made in 2015.
Absolutely love this knife. I've had plenty of 25's over the years but sold them off to buy other knives.
This one is a keeper.
Thanks Paul.

This 07 has (I'm guessing pressed) black jigged laminate handles. Super walk and talk with rather abrupt edges to the as ground blades and the laminate handles.

Jerry those handles may be g10.

And here it is boys and girls...a beautiful Dan Graves custom damascus ball bearing pattern with a mammoth tusk end for a handle...i have to thank ole KJ Roland Proctor for this knife...i saw this beauty and the cork went straight to the bottom...yall know what i mean....

Micarta is a brand name.

Laminate is one of their products.

G10 is a grade of laminate.

I should not have used FRN because it means Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon and I have no idea what materials went into making up the laminate used for those handles. There, I fixed both posts.

The mailman dropped this on my porch just a bit over an hour ago. The new release GEC #56 dogleg jack. A couple first for me, first in this pattern and first micarta handled knife. Also might add that my 1st impressions of this knife are quite favorable, should see a lot of pocket time I'm thinking.

Nice pattern. I like the spear blade.
I remember having a 56 when GEC was making them in 2011.
Here's the link to their pattern page....

Thanks for the link Brunno. The clip blade versions look pretty good too, so has GEC not made this pattern since 2011?

Excellent mail call for me today!

I am now a Camillus collector. I went from 0 to 2 in one mail call! A #21 peanut and a #87 stockman. The #87 is the one I asked about in another thread and I wasn't sure if I wanted to buy it. I'm really glad I did! It is in excellent condition and the tang is stamped much better than the seller's pictures indicated. The long line Camillus is clearly there.

The little Imperial with the bail & cap lifter is very interesting. Around the pin of the bail it says "Anson 1/10 Silver Filled". Google tells me that Anson is a maker of sterling silver Men's jewelry based in Prov, RI (which explains the association with Imperial Knife). They started making Men's cuff links, tie tacks, money clips, etc in 1948. Anson, Inc was purchased by C&J Jewelry in 1993. It appears that Anson & Imperial cooperated on many products, including a variety of different knives and money clips w/knife blades. It's not worth very much, but I think it is pretty neat!

" It's not worth very much, but I think it is pretty neat!"

I think so too.

Yes. Not since 2011.

Official name from CASE.. Coarse Black G-10.. John

Great looking knives fellas
This little guy got here today straight from one of our AAPK stores

A little old boy scout appeared at my door today and needed a place to stay, so I let him in. I think his last name is Camillus.

That's a beauty, Gino!

Used this 6375 CV in Amber To get to this 6318 in Honey Brown A gift from XX Case XX. Thanks Mike!
I am truly blessed to receive this.

Just got this Queen #10 Jack. What's different about it is it's a barehead. It is not capped. This is the first time I've seen this.
Cross posted in the Queen forum.

Thanks Glenn

Thanks Shearer, I have a 72 and they are the same. I have carried the 72 some and it is a good pocket fit.

The 1047 is just the Scout version of the 72, they just don't stamp the pattern number on the back of the main blade in the 1047's and of course they have a Scout shield on the mark side handle (which should go without saying).
