All About Pocket Knives

I know very little about Robeson knives, other than that the few that I own have been good quality even when worn out. Did both Queen and Camillus make knives marked as Robeson?

And yes - we love the house! I just wish I had more time to be home to enjoy it!

Welcome back.. Nice ta see ya!!

Suit case I was thinking about you the other day and wondered if you'd gave on us. Glad to see you back pal always enjoy your 2 cents worth. Got these on the way sellers photos.

Biggie 'H' what did you have to search on to find that rope knife or did you just stumble onto it?

Stumbled. No one else bid on it . There's was another one popped up with a bin for 5 bucks.try anchor or cannon rope knife.

Nice looking knives gentlemen.

Today I purchased this knife by Queen. I don't collect Queen knives per se, this one is just my third. But there was something about it that caught my eye. I've said it before, if I like a particular knife and my wallet likes it also, then I will buy it. So, I bought it. 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.

Looks like you have a great old Queen on the way!

Very nice! Can't wait to see better pics, hope it's tight and snappy.

Goodness. There's a ton of 'em on there if you search on "knife anchor". I grabbed one that looks like it has 'China' stamped on the back of the tang. For $9.98 shipped, I can give it away if I don't like it.

It's on the way. Or at least the Postal System is in possession of it.

Assuming the post office doesn't mess up and send it to the wrong PO for about the sixth time in six months, I should be getting this Benchmade Mini Griptillian Saturday.

Very nice looking knife, Jerry. Show more pics when you get it, please!

Awesome looking Benchmade, Cody. I have a couple of nephews who spend their summer lawn mowing money on Griptillians, I don't spend my disposable $$$ on new knives, but if I did....

Last night I bought this Craftsman, 3 blade, swelled center, pocket knife. It looks like and I hope it is, a 9494 pattern. The tang stamp is difficult to read. I'll give it the once over when I receive it and post MY pictures in the proper location(s). These pictures are the seller's.

Good find, Skip. I'm going with Schrade made. Look it over when you get it and see if you can find any evidence of bolster pins. I'll bet you can't which says "Swinden" which says "Schrade". Plus the jigging says Schrade/Ulster. The main blade saber ground on both sides makes it an early one. Did I say "good" find. I meant "Excellent" find.

Thank you Jerry. I can't make out what the shield says either. I can't wait to get this one.

I'm pretty sure it says "Craftsman" which, of course, would make it a 9494 which you are after.

(it could be a Schrade 863 or an Ulster 63. You'll probably never know for sure but you will know it's a Craftsman.)

I just ordered a GEC #92 Eureka Jack in Elderberry bone, from TSA knives. Hey, maybe they'll get it shipped today. I've wanted one of these since they were first released in 2013. I love everything about these from the size to the blade compliment. The only thing that could make it better would be for the handles to be burnt stag but I'm just fine and dandy with the Elderberry bone.

....jerry, that looks an awful lot like the CAMILLUS #53 you sent me????............ ....................

That is one VERY good looking piece of cutlery.

It does, doesn't it. About the only difference is size and of course the secondary blade. The 92 is 3-5/8" closed like the Camillus 72 while the 53 is only about 3".

.....the only 2 knives I've carried lately are the "53" you sent me and the old Waltham whittler!!, can't carry the Waltham very long, after a couple of days of of opening it, I have to let my fingernails grow back!!!!........... ..............................

Bottom feeding again, rope knife is gonna have to be put to the stone, dull is the only word it, the China Colonial is pretty sharp will slice newspaper anyway.

I just purchased this Imperial Scout knife. My first with this style shield. Except for some blade spotting, it appears to be in very good condition. I'll give it the once over when I receive it and post MY pictures in the appropriate location(s). These are the seller's pictures.

Sweet Imperial Skip. Another one off the list.
