All About Pocket Knives

Here is a 3 1/2" 2 blade EO Jack marked "Dunlap/USA". Dunlap was Sears mid range line of knives. Looking at this one, the pins are not spun so likely 1920's rather than 1930's.

Sweet knives again KJ and everyone! Also, You guys also amaze me with your knowledge of old knives! My father and my uncle taught me a lot (We probably know 10x more than the average Joe)but never realized how little I really know till I joined a AAPK!

That fake stag, for some reason, reminds me A LOT of that used by Colonial in the 1970s and 1980s.

I bought a Spyderco Ladybug in purple today at my local knife store. Had meant to only buy something sub-$20; as my list was mostly to get a Gadsden Flag Victorinox or something entry-level from Cold Steel. As you can see by the price tag, I blew my budget by nearly double. I have the Salt Ladybug hawkbill, but quite frankly, it's not really good for everything. Heavy cutting and pull cuts, sure, light stuff like sharpening a pencil--uh, sorry, nope. Once I get a pivot screw replaced in that one, I think these two will make an awesome pair that together, weighs less than one typical knife.

I really like the blade shape. It allows ultimate control of the tip. I think this one may have unseated my Buck Nano Bantam as my favorite "tiny" lockback.

Here is another old knife with the same handle material: 3 3/8" two blade serpentine jack, marked "Sword Brand" on front tang and 4-line Camillus stamp on rear tang. Note these pins are also not spun = older knife. And "Sword Brand" back then was top of the line Camillus; i.e. people thought this new fangled fake stag or fake bone was just The Best. We think the opposite now.

"Probably" made for Sears by either Schrade or Camillus. It really doesn't matter to me which company made it. I didn't do anything to it. I took some pictures and here they are.

Looks good Skip! I like the handles.

Good night friends.

Thank you Tom.

Sure is.

Great score Trace.

Looks awesome Trace!

Got the February knife give away today a 23 year old Remington Moose w/ Rosewood handles, gorgeous. Thank you anonymous donor.
Also, finally scored the other Moki Kronos knife I didn’t have. Moki made two sizes on this knife and I have the larger one and saw this one come up on Ebay the other day. I was the only bidder so I got it at the starting price, which was a bargain. I love showing the “run-up” on these Moki’s, it looks like a fixed blade when open it’s so tight, see the last photo.

Congrats on the Remington, Mark.
That Moki is gorgeous!

Whoa Mark, east meets west. Both great knives. Congrats.

Nice pick ups everyone! I just received this in the mail today..coincidentally enough from doglegg ! Absolutely beautiful knife! thanks Floyd!!

Glad it is yours. Thanks.
