All About Pocket Knives

Thanks for the comments Ray & dogleg.

im sorry but the coin is a cheep chinese copy. Its just in the pic because its my starsign.

Love USPS on days like today. A little Bulldog mini trapper in my favorite handle material. Thank you ebay. More pic's in the Bulldog thread.

I just found this Moore Maker trapper today at Unclaimed Baggage in Scottsboro AL. That means it was lost along with somebody's luggage a year or so ago, and they should have been reimbursed by the airline's insurance.
There is a crack in the bone on the mark side, and it has someone's initials engraved in the handle.
I wanted to post it here before I rehandle the knife, on the off-chance that it belonged to someone on this forum.
If this knife was yours, if it was important to you, and if you can tell me all 3 of the initials, I am willing to sell it to you at cost, if you want it.

I got this Toothpick recently.

What is the handle material FRJ?

It's a grey and white swirlly celluloid.

This GEC 97 in jigged cherry wood handle came today. Another wooden handled knife. Finding some really nice wooden handles lately.

Thank you.

Recently got this wonderful Bulldog Wharncliffe whittler dress in the prettiest Ivory from our own Mr. Gary Kennedy. Thanks again Gary, I can't stop looking and handling this one.

Folding knife of the pilot of the USSR Air Force

The knife was designed in 1983 to supply the pilots of the air force as an element of flight equipment. Since the product was inaccessible to the average consumer, it was very popular both among the military and among civilians. Serial production of the knife stopped in 1991.
Part of the survival kit НАЗ-8 (НАЗ - wearable emergency reserve).
A very rare knife I've long been looking for.

Is the notch near the end of the saw blade original or did a previous owner modify it?

So it's original, but I'm not sure about the function.

A very cool knife Eustace and even better when it is one you have been looking for. Congrats and thanks for sharing it with us.

Very cool knife Eustace, love that history too. Thanks for showing. Keep 'em coming.
Doglegg, way to get one through past those who would ban and prohibit. Scoooooooooooore!

That rosewood Heritage looks good big bore, I've got the set from that run and really enjoy them all. I also like the other 2 in your pic.

Thanks Iman. It's fun to look over the listings looking for a hint or from the pictures. You are encouraging.

Very nice Doglegg!

Thanks Woodwalker.

Eustace, could the notch be used to open cans ? .
And is the tab near the the bail a blade lock? Which blade does it lock?

Congrats on the fine acquisition ....
