All About Pocket Knives

Here is a nice little Cat that has pearl covered backsprings and a neet etch.

I posted the Excelsior in that thread but figured I would show it here too. I love the etch on this one!!!

BEAUTIFUL.....absolutely beautiful.

Here are 2 more. The one with the fancy pearl, opal pearl, is a Robeson. It does not look like it was used and if it has it was not much, it is nice and tight all around.

The multi blade is a rare one. WH Sample which is an old New York company out of Albany NY circa 1871-1939. The tortoise toothpick and the little salt spoon was still with the knife when it came in the mail. It is 2 1/4" closed and a nice find for me. I only have one more form this maker, an ebony handled jack.

Excellent looking Pearls Mike

Very knice. The multi-tool lobster is fantstic Mike. This is a simple pen knife circa late 1800s early 1900s. s-k

S-K: Is that an earlier incarnation of Dawes&Ball? BTW I like the spelling of KNICE.

Robeson 4-blade Pearl, engraved masonic symbol on backside.

Hardly used, has worked liners on both sides.

Boy...thats a nice one. ....looks to be in nice shape too.

Thanks Johnnie!

This one sure did not get used very much, just a few age spots, perfect pearl handles.

Here is something a bit different:a J.A.Henckels manicure set complete with single blade knife and tools made of carved pearl in a display case.

Wow....you don't come across a set like that very often.

It's not pink, but Bret did buy me this black mother of pearl.
