All About Pocket Knives

2 out of 3 ordered arrived today. I have a 2 blade bonestag Barlow from Case on backorder. Both of these are Turquoise Curly Maple. I almost passed on this after seeing Charlie’s canoe, I thought it was too blue, but it’s not it’s just the right shade of Turquoise. Might have to go ahead and get all the other patterns they made in this material, those would all look great in their own display case.

Nabbed the two, and some new superman spectacles for those worn-out tang stamps..I didn't need a pair of glasses to see the bone handles on these two.. soon the old bone knives will be gone, get-em' while you can..~JP

They are beautiful bones JP. Like the easy opener.

Ran across this red bone Johnny Muskrat Bulldog for a decent price.

I think there is also a Parker Schrade made Johnny Muskrat knife from 1979. Who was Johnny M. ?

Roland I'm not sure but I know there was a writer for an outdoors magazine many years ago who wrote under the name Jonny M. Someone else pointed out that there is a Parker Schrade J M knife. Thanks.

I did a quick search and Johnny Muskrat seems to have been an author of trapping and outdoor "how to" books.

And I'll betcha GMTA (thanks for splainin that to me Lucy) when it comes to Jon's Camillus 33 E-Z Open Jack. That is such a good'un.


I'm on the edge of conversion. I can feel myself becoming a fan boy of this Case 6318 Stockman that Randy (r redden) sent to me. Can't seem to stop chicken eyein' and coon fingerin' it. What a beauty. Gotta show it one more time.

You know me and that Rogers bone. It's a sickness.

Congrats doglegg, that is some great looking ivory with good grain and great subtle tones of tan/off white/beige or whatever it is. Elephant color. Sweeeeeeeeeeet knife I must say and congrats for sneaking one past the lousy eeeeebay Gestapo trying to shut down ivory selling, and especially Elephant. Little tickles me as much as a good ivory smuggler who gets one past the banners. God bless the tusk that gets through the dragnet. YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS INDEED. Seeing that and hearing where you got it made my day. You don't even know how glad I am to see stuff like that.

Thanks Iman, I was surprised to see it there and really pleased to get it. Maybe we can watch and snag another or two. Thanks for the kind comments.

Not a knife per se..... but dad has got to where he’s loading me down with his “treasures” every time I’m over there. I guess since I’m the one who keeps all the old family stuff it’s a good thing. I’ve taken to calling my shop the museum! Lol

This is the latest. An old froe. I have no idea where he accumulated it, but it’s in bad need of a new handle.

Noooooo.

This is my grandads ax. My dad replaced the bit. I replaced the handle.

Get it?

Lol. I know. There’s no way I’m replacing the handle. But whoever was making shingles back in the day sure did make a lot of them.

He means once you go to replacing parts on an heirloom, before long it ain’t the heirloom you were originally given.

Mail order knives for a couple of young fellas. My grandson (the mop headed boy) in the pic and his buddy (with the hat on) meet up twice a year for a combined 8-10 days of camping and archery madness. They are 10 & 9 years old respectively and both are well mannered all around good boys. I did check with the other Grandpa to be sure it would be ok for his young fella to have a knife. I think they'll enjoy these around camp and where better to teach 'em knife safety.

Way ta go Greg,my kids had those also,tough knives

Was catching up on some new photos of this year's new arrivals. Figured I'd share the ones I haven't shown off anywhere else on AAPK...

Sunknife, perfect gift for a couple of good boys. William Tells for sure.
Tony there are some great looking handles there. Wow.

Thanks gardddogg. Yes they seem to be fairly sturdy, Imperial Ireland stamped. I put the leather lanyards on to attach to their belt loops so they won't lose 'em.

Thanks doglegg. I think at their age a knife with more gadgets attached = more entertainment for them.
