All About Pocket Knives

Great pickups this week folks .
Willy

Sweet knife David. And Yes Ray is a great guy to deal with. Great knife, great source.

This Imperial "Longhorn Steer" pocket knife arrived yesterday. I gave it a minimal cleaning, took some pictures and here it is.

Fished this little 72 rehandle out of the bay. Pretty handles but no snap on the blades. Will probably go in my whittling knife box. This one also from the bay. It is worn out, abused and broken and I am thrilled with it. I made an offer and was able to get it. A swell center split spring pre 72 whittler. Not nice like Tommy's or Jerry's but perfect for me. More pics in the 72 thread.

Good pick ups Floyd. Very cool whittler.


I received another big schrade slenderino today. I have really grown to like schrade's 4'' slender stockman frame. Earlier last year I had no examples at all and now I have three bone 861's, three delrin 861's and three 61ot's. This 61ot only cost me $11.41 so I think it was a good buy. Tight and snappy and blades are all there.

Thanks WillyC and Paul. Paul I always enjoy your slenderos, especially the bone ones.

This Boker U.S.A., single blade, hawkbill pruner, wire jack pocket knife, arrived yesterday. I cleaned what I could and here it is.

Sorry folks, I've become picture taking lazy. I have recieved several knives over the last couple of weeks that I haven't shown off yet so here they are.

The first one, I don't care much for. It's ok I guess, just not my thing.
The small black one is a Mikov swell center. It's a nice little knife.
The small one under it has no stamp but it would be a nice little EDC if it were rehandled.
And the last two are from Sanrenmu because I didn't have any knives with a clip on em. Nice knives at a fair price.
And, I just remembered, I have another one from England somewhere.

Took some pictures of my Englander.
The Stamp says: RODGERS (over) CUTLERS TO (over) HIS MAJESTY
The blade that looks broken has no edge on it. Must have been a tool of some kind. Maybe a scraper or spatula of some sort. Don't know if it was ever broken off or not. There is also a lid lifter for opening cans on one end. It could stand some cleaning but it has a good healthy snap.

I like the colors of the two Sanrenmu clip knives.
Good size for edc belt knives.

Thanks Dan! They are made in these two sizes and a few more colors & they aren't that expensive either.
My first impression is very possative.

My brand new Case XX 61749L SS Copperlock from the December give away came today!

Rough Rider multi-blade Mini-Trapper showed up today. Holy cats. Try to get all the blades open for pictures on this bad boy. You take your life in your hands. It's not fun.

I should have worn gloves because you gotta give Rough Rider one thing, they are sharp. I was trying to be vewy vewy careful but as my mother used to say, "There's many a slip twixt the cup and the lip".

Today this tiny 2-1/4" MOP lobster arrived at its new northern home. Schrade Cut Co "S8606 Shac" (as pictured in 1936 Supplement to Catalog E). Blade colour is pretty accurate. Pearl colours look brighter under the super-bright scanner than in person but I think I can fix that quite easily. It will be cleaned and polished 'cause that's how I like 'em.

JerryD...... you gotta love that 5 blade Rough Rider. I have four of his big brothers. Watch out they become adictive. You can' t stop collecting them once you get one.

Today's trek to the post office produced this pocket knife. Another Camillus 72 (72Y), Yello-Jaket, 3 blade, swelled center, "whittler." It received an inspection and it needed no cleaning or anything done to it at all. Here are the pictures.
