All About Pocket Knives

These two today.

Yellow Rose 66 jack the last couple of days for me

That Barlow is a stunner, I-Man. I take it the bones aren't original. Did that start out life as a Barlow?

AAPK 35 Churchill and a Case 62005R Barlow. I've got a few of the 05s with the stepped bolsters but I like the lines of the smooth bolsters on the 005s a little more. This is one of my favorite knives for chicken fingerin'.

What is today? Tuesday.. There's been a whittler in my pocket for a few days. This little 08 pattern fits a pocket so well..

Great carries everyone I'm still carrying the Whitby Bunny knife on tonight's shift

WOW, just when I think its reach the top notch of the knife tote'n world, you fellers just dig a little deeper in yore pockets and come up with sumpin better, just wow. Got to cut the grass so I'll be tote'n some hard working knives today.

Thanks TR, that was at my request. I also had Johnny do hidden pins, which is not easy.

A Puma and a Boker today

Montanaman, I would be interested in your opinion of the Puma particularly as to its balance. I've never held one of the large Pumas but they always appeared to me as though not so well balanced. Probably an optical illusion. Obviously one must hold one to judge.

BH has that old rope knife been rehandled? That is some fine looking wood on it.

Montanaman that is a great looking Puma. It fits your environment. The Boker has some great looking scales on it. Today must be German day.

It is well balanced, it has a thin grind and the balance point is right at the guard. A nice knife with thick Sambar stag, there is also a slight taper to the tang, which is impressive for 1967. I carry many bowies and they are my preferred carry.

Thanks Doglegg

A smooth red bone Boker Stockman
And this

VIPER today
Wicked snap for a recent knife
Love this one

Ivoryman, Mr Bingham from Cleveland is a sharp looking fellow.

Sleeveboard and Schatt on a cloudy, busy Wednesday.

No dog it had a company logo on and I didn't care for it so I sanded it off and put some Formbys on it. Brought the grain out pretty good.

Calf Roper

Good HOKs there, big-H. Schrade & Camillus?

Schrade 163 and high carbon steel, 5 blades.

I think that's a yes on the Camillus. I believe that's one of the stamps they used and I recognize that aged faux-stag composition (and shield).

Love those K-Ting Rope 163s. Your treatment has some impressive results, though! I think one of mine was once an advertising knife but the advertising just plain wore off.

Did that blade start out with the Wonda-Edge serration or was it always plain edge? I haven't gotten my hands on a factory plain edge as of yet.

Some really good looking knives being carried by all.
I carried the barlow and canoe combo below for a couple days this week.

Tony I don't know, I got it off the bay, if I remember right the seller worked for the company whose logo was on it and used the knife in his job. The logo was mostly wore off this one, gold coloring of some sort.

Rope knife is cool Bighomer, great one.
DM11 great pattern I'm learning.
Sunknife, love the Russell sawcut bone color, that's sweet. And that Appaloosa bone on the other is pretty cool too.
