All About Pocket Knives

I have a Mini-Trapper like that. They are a slick motor scooter.

It looks like it's in VERY good condition and won't need any cleaning at all. When it arrives, it'll get the once over. I'll take some pictures and post them in the appropriate location(s).

Nice score Skip!

The handles on that stockman look interesting.

Skip you did well. Those craftsman are intriguing. Several different tang stamps I think.

Rough Ryders certainly a well made knife.

EDC, Very good looking knives.

Great knives guys! Here’s another Sabre Japan,trapper I just picked up for a song.. I’ll take better pictures when I have it in hand

Thank you Floyd. There are different Craftsman tang stamps and I do have all of them.

Nice looking knife Ryan.

Thanks Skip! I’ve decided to concentrate on collecting Sabre brand for know. They satisfy my addiction for a fraction of the cost!! They are well built knives(USA, Japan,) in my opinion.. The bone scales on a few I’ve acquired recently are really nice.thanks for looking!

I'm a fan of the Japan made Sabres.

I saw that one too, nice knife! I’m curious to see if they do more, but I don’t know if this is a current ongoing series or just the two.

Talk about disappointment; got my NOS/NIB Winchester 3964 in yesterday’s mail, opened it up and first thing that hits my eye is a nice pin crack in the bone handle on the mark side. The knife went right back in the package and I drove it to the nearby USPO to get it moving back to the seller. I have to give it to eBay, their return item system works nicely; printed a prepaid shipping label, put it on the original package and my refund is in process. The real aggravator to me is that I passed on another Winchester Medium Stockman that was $25 dollars cheaper in the classifieds at Blade Forums because this one had already been ordered the day before - now the other one is gone too! I continue to have issues with eBay purchases when buying a pocketknife from NON-Knife dealers - why that is a very rare occurrence for me anymore and will be more rare after this purchase. Oh well. The silver lining, I took that $85 and applied it to a new Shimano fishing reel yesterday afternoon (that I could put my hands on), going to try it out in a few minutes. OH

Nice Sabre Ryan!

Great reel OH!

I just picked up my first Hartkopf Solingen. Don't know the length of it but it does look like it has Ebony handles. If so, then these are another first for me. Maybe one of you can say if it appears to be Ebony? It's used but it seems to be in pretty good condition & the price was right.

I'm going to EDC this one so I'm considering having "TOM" engraved in the "shield" that's on the side. What do you guys think of me doing that? Maybe one of my kids would like that after I'm gone. Cool idea? Or a Mistake?

There were no pictures of the whole knife on one picture. Here are the best pictures the seller posted. More pictures in a week or so when it shows up. Thanks for looking!

Nice one Tom.
As far as having it engraved, I doubt very seriously you bought it as an investment.
If done by someone who knows what they're doing, it'll look fine.
Personally, I think it would be cool to have a knife handed down with my Dad's or Grandfather's name on it, knowing they carried it.

Exactly what I wanted to hear! LOL! Thanks Steve!

You heard it there first, now you're going to hear it here second. Engrave away. Make it your own.

I bought this knife a few moments ago for best offer. According to jxr1197 (Jason), it's an Imperial Mexico. If so, it qualifies for two of my areas of collecting, IMPERIAL MEXICOs and a "Deer Head" for the zoo. It might actually be an "Elk Head" or a "Moose Head." When I receive it, I'll give it a looking over and clean if necessary. Pictures will be taken and posted in the appropriate location(s).

***** A special thanks to Jason for bringing this knife to my attention. *****

TPK: You received a Motion and a Second, I vote "Aye"!!

Skip, nice addition to the zoo!

Found a new Leek for under $40. I really like the size; but the one I have came (unbeknownst to me) with a broken blade that had been sharpened with a belt sander. It was supposed to be used, like new. It will be, after Kershaw is done with it. I couldn't wait until the current epedemic blows over to send it to OR, and besides that one is Blackwash.

Thank you Sir's! The good part about it is, I always try to treat my kids fair so..., I guess I'll need two more engraved knives so they can each have one right? Gotta be fair!

Maybe I'll be Lucky enough to have some grandchildren one day. Of course they would need one also, when the time comes along. Gotta be fair!

They probably won't all inherit a fortune but I could swing a nice EDC for all of em! Hope they like knives!

Nice Leek Cody! I like it! I just joined the "Kershaw Fun Club" a few days ago when I got my "Chive". Very cool knives! Got my eyes open for a used Leek now!

Definitely engrave it Tom.. One of your kids will carry it someday!

Good snag, Chris. I like that.

Gorgeous indeed.
