All About Pocket Knives

knife7knut wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2024 12:45 am A buncha scout/utility knives and one very special Kamp King: my grandfather's that nearly amputated one of my fingers when I was 8 years old. I'm older now but am still wary of opening it.

Since I don't know for sure, I'm assuming the gator-snapping Kamp King is the single knife in the 1st picture, but it looks innocent enough to me! lol!
I'm familiar with the kind of knife you're talking about, I've had them nearly severe a finger that I barely got out of the way in time, it's all part of the fun we experience when one indulges in this fascinating hobby of knife collecting! lol!
Another great showing, Rey, thank you!

A group of flotsam I've accumulated that's soon to become eBay jetsam. These are emblematic of my collecting style: I tend to make impulse purchases based on an immediate emotional response when I see a knife that appeals to me for some reason. But later, if the initial enchantment wears off after I've had it for awhile or I discover I already have a particular model and mistakenly purchased a duplicate (which, I'm ashamed to admit, happens with alarming and embarrassing frequency ), I sell it. Also, my collecting focus periodically shifts and unlike Ray, I simply don't have sufficient real estate for the warehouses that would be required to store the entire accumulation.



Most of these knives are brand new, a couple are used and a few are Lansky1 mods. All are being sold soon, so if anyone sees anything they would like to add to their own pile, shoot me a PM.

I realize it's likely a PITA, ~Q~, but could we please see them with the blades deployed? Thx!

Drawer 4

It just dawned on me, Rey, you might want to give some thought into collecting storage containers! lol!
More of your fabulous knives for us to enjoy, thank you!

Not to worry, buddy, I reexamined your picture and saw what I wanted to see, thanks anyway though!

Bunch of great collections being shown here!

You have some awesome Barlows I-Man! I never paid much attention to this pattern until seeing all your beauties. Now you're turning me into a Barlow fan.

Thanks bud, that's how it goes. I said the same about '12, or '13. By '14, or '15 it became a new hunt. Still looking. Watch out, this place creates addiction.

More sweet knives today, Rey, thanks for entertaining us with them!

Drawer 7: letter openers & letter opener knives.

Unbelievable, Rey, you don't only accumulate knives, you accumulate just about anything pointy!
Will you be showing us your accumulation of roofing nails in the future? lol!
All kidding aside, your focus is to be applauded!

Although my accumulations do not include roofing nails per se, if you look closely at the 3rd item from the right in the last picture,it is a large nail compliments of the HP Nail Co. Here are some closeups.

Drawer 8: tool kits & picnic sets big & small.

That's just about the coolest thing I've ever seen, Rey!
You usually only see old files and railroad spikes that have been converted to knives, but to see that big ole' nail is somethin' else!
Once you pointed out where it was I could see it clearly, especially after I zoomed in on it!
Thanks for the pictures!
