All About Pocket Knives

Thanks Homer, yes, and salad veggies a plenty, looking almost as good as that sweet middle one, can't read the stamp, love the 'ol long pull spear. Nice bones too.
J1890 you're too kind. It's all a matter of personal taste though. I feel the same as you. There seem to be endless posts around here from many members that blow me away with beauty and lust and make me want stuff I never knew I even wanted before, and keep draining funds from more important things, and looking for pocket knives when I already have a pile. it's all relative and I'm relatively addicted.

That's a sweet ole Imperial I-man good steel.

Great imperial.

Now that’s what I’m talking about . Big H, that’s sweet!!!
I’m working on getting one right now.

Y'all are bringing a new level of quality. Montanaman's got me gunshy about even showing off my piddling production knives. I don't know if I have much that can play on the same field as those gems!

Always dig that Imperial cattle knife and the beautiful pocket-worn Rogers bone every time it rides with you, biggie-H! I'll have to see if I have something worthy of all this fine cutlery everybody is totin'.

This first pic comes with an anecdote. The weekend before last, I toted the big Colonial and the yeller 72 as I have a number of times in the past. Everyone knows the virtues of the 72 and the Colonial is one of the best-cutting large knives I own, full stop. With two hits on a ceramic hone per side, this bad boy sliced and diced an entire lemon pepper chicken with ease. Anyway, I didn't get a photo when I had the knives and I put 'em up at the end of the day without thinking about it again.

Fast forward to this past weekend and I figured why not tote the faithful and underappreciated Colonial again? I was in the mood to carry a yeller knife with it again and wouldn't you know it but thanks to the grace of Paul (a.k.a. Knifeslinger#81 here on AAPK) I had just received in its factory box this NOS 712YNS full Congress. I was amazed at how slender and pocketable this knife is considering it's a 4-blade medium Congress but it's made right & tight. Thanks once again, Paul, you did my Camillus hoard a great service, my friend. Oh, and guess what we had for dinner Sunday...
Back to the smooth orange trapper and its amazing patina today. I might be hooked. Case slenderino w/ punch in the watch pocket.

That orange bone ranks pretty high on the looker scale, patina coming nicely, beautiful. Don't sell your knives short Bomba, some great stuff there.

wow, some beauties on this page.
I’m finding it hard to put down these two. Although that will probably change with the cattle knife that is coming.

Still the Whitby Bunny knife

Tote'n these today.

Nice ones fellas!
Been carrying this Case 6375 last few days, using it today to help with some planting. Cutting through a weed barrier to get some orange day Lillies in the ground.
This is from the American Workman series and was originally blue delrin....had Glenn put on some Lapsis Blue bone from Culpeppers and pin the shield for me, now she is even better.

Nice one Mike. I have a 6375 today as well.

GEC 15, 44

EZ 85 Bullet End

Much appreciated, I-Man!

The only 18s I like more than the ones with the punches are the ones with the pen blades. That's a good-looking yeller slenderino, OH!

Today was an 8OT day for me.

Thanks for the compliment Tony - and it's hard to go wrong with a Schrade USA! OH

Lots of great knives being shown fellas.
I pocketed this combo yesterday and again today.

Don't tote fixed blades very often , but did today.along with a whittler.

I found this in an antique store today. Didn't buy it but just wanted to share some pictures. I did see a Case trapper I might go back and buy. But this knife had so much on it and it looked old. Ultimate camp knife.

I can see why, would drool every time I regularly took them out just to look at. Excellent bones. All I did with my carry was cut a couple zip ties and this nectarine today. Added a little color to the patina. During and after photos.
