All About Pocket Knives

2flowers, good looking Camillus. I like the mix of blades you rarely see together. Good yellow too.

Very purty TFL!!!

These just arrived...

That's a small Imperial 1946 - 1956 fish knife.

Nice score Scott.....

Mike

Lots of nice knives I see here. Looks like it might be a fun hobby. I just got one in the mailbox that really blows my skirt up. It is mirror bright absolutely "mint." (I hate that word).The tang-stamp suggests pre-1945 Solingen, but for all I know it was made last year. The fit and finish are superb. Horn handles. flat nickel silver bolsters, shield and pins, but the liners are brass. I would have expected some half stops for an old knife, but not. Here's the kicker: not 3 1/8" or 3 3/8", but a full 3 3/4". I have been looking for a utility knife with larger scissors for a long time. I am loving this knife.

Cal, the Boker tang stamp chart says that stamp was used until 1944.
That sure is a doozy.

Thank you, Jerry. Sometime in the 1970s I was walking down the alley in downtown Miles City, Montana on my way to the back door to a tavern, when lo and behold, here sits a 1930s Duesenberg (a plainer model) with the keys in the ignition. I reckon some old cowboy/owner was in the bar at the time, but I did not inquire.

Miles City eh? My son did his senior year of high school in Forsyth back in 91-92.

That's much better, Jerry. Thank you!

You're very welcome Rick. Get yourself a copy of PhotoScape and you too can do that. PM your email address to me and I'll send it to you.

Really like those Jerry, especially the trapper!!!

Thanks Bill. I rather like it myself.

Edit: I'm glad I got the Toothpick. It's just cuter than a bug's ear and for $25 shipped, it was quite a deal.

Knice haul sir.....I too like the trapper!!

Thanks Scott. That bone is rather attractive.

My first Moore Maker came in the mail today. Sweet knife! Very well made with some very attractive bone. A gift from Mike (XX Case XX). Thank you, Mike!

Wow Rick, that Moore Maker is niiiice! I like that slender main blade, and that bone is real nice. That Mike is one thoughtful fella!

Got this gem in the mail today.....
