All About Pocket Knives

Copper and Clad Exclusive Buck 055.

The "Exclusive" features are the nickel silver bolsters instead of the standard brass, a drop point blade instead of the standard clip blade, and Indigo Blue slabs instead of the standard Walnut slabs.

I was hoping for a little bit darker shade of blue but aside from the blunt tip, I'm satisfied. Not sure what happened with my pics but it looks a little bit better in person.

That is a very good looking knife.

Looks awesome Rick!

Is the tip damaged from the factory?

Yes. It was like this right out of the box. The knife in the stock photo on the website is the same way. I checked and I got a different knife than the one in the stock photo so maybe they are all like that.

It's nothing terrible but it should have a sharper point.

Nice Rick. I wish Buck made more like this, I might go back to collecting them. That knife looks best when they do them like this. That’s really sweet.

Thanks Mark and thank you to the other members for the kind words as well.

Not knives, qty 20 - Small ¼"x¼" Neodymium Disc rare earth Magnets. They're as handy as a pocket on a shirt.

Cool Jerry! I've always wanted to put one of those in the tip of a walking stick so I could secretly look for pieces of Meteoroids while out walking or hiking. Only problem is, I would feel wierd using a walking stick.

But you could sew them into the liners of clothes & handbags or other things before your next flight. Just to keep things interesting. lol

What will you use them for?

Well, you can see the handle of my fly swatter hanging off the side of the file cabinet. One of those magnets is the source of that levitation magic. The Library schedule shown in the picture is another use. I use one to hang my shoehorn/GEC tube opener from the railing of my desk and my refrigerator is a magnet, magnet. Their use is only limited by your imagination.

This is a 3 blade Trapper-Hunter Bulldog made by GEC in 2009. Ending their run of excellent knives Bulldog turned over final production to Great Eastern and Queen. More photos and info will be posted in the Bulldog thread. The handle is molasses bone with crowsfoot jigging.

That is a beautiful knife. I don't have a 3 blade trapper in my collection, guess I had better be on the lookout for one.

JUST got this in the mail earlier.
I've seen these go in worse shape for a LOT more than what I gave for this one.
I've always liked scout/campers, had a Kamp King when I was a kid, but just never really got into them.
I prefer a nice SAK.
If it were anything but a Schrade-made I would have passed...
But, for $9.99 + $5 shipping\tax I COULDN'T STOP MYSELF

Great snap all around.
no scratches on can opener, screwdriver not bent, awl in great shape, saw looks unused, blade appears full just scuffed up.
I hate it when someone uses sandpaper on a blade.
And someone didn't like the shackle.
If it was used it wasn't used much...

Honestly, I really didn't want it but, heck, for $15 I could't pass it up.

Today's arrival. I'm still wishy washy on this one but it has a Wharncliffe blade and that's getting to be more important all the time.

I like it. That's a keeper Jerry!

BatJak, what is the closed length of that Craftsman and does it have a pattern number?
Treefarmer

It's a Craftsman 9555 and right at 3.75" long and 3/4 inch thick

QS, sweet Bulldog
Batjak, very clean Craftsman.
Jerry, you know you have never seen an 07 that you didn't like or at least want. That one is cool.

Fished this KeenKutter out of the bay the other day. More pic's under 72 clones.

A bone Camillus 69 has been at the top of my must have list for a while and thanks to our very own tongueriver I have been able to check it off.

Thank you Calvin for the jewel in my Camillus collection.

Long line tang stamp so according to my research sometime between 1960 - 1964, although we all know Camillus can be inconsistent.
Milled liners and fancy backspring spacer, good snap on all three blades and no wobble. And ait only took a few passes on a ceramic hone to get all the blades near shaving sharp.

Without further ado...

Very nice catch doglegg! Like that interesting shield!

Nice one.

Nice knives everyone!

Today's trip to the post office produced these two knives. Another "Deer Head" for the zoo and another Camillus 72. Each received a gentle cleaning. These pictures are mine.

Thanks TPK, I had missed out on a previous one so was glad to get this one.
Skip, you are doing good with those pick ups.
Trace, Calvin hocked you up with a sweet one there.

Tracy, you need to get down and kiss the hem of Cal's robe. He turned loose of a really good one there for ya.
