All About Pocket Knives

Some more fine knives being toted by yawl, Good to see finery getting used. These will have to get the job done for me the next couple of weeks.

Came to work with nothing but the Barlow. About mid-morning a highly-anticipated shipment arrived. From the package to the pocket went the 82. Might not leave for a while, either...

Boker barlow for me also Tsar and a big old Boker stockman

Nice couple there Rotten, got Camillus covered too.
Happened to have the GEC smooth bone covered. Have a good one all.

Thanks, & you certainly do have the GECs covered. Very well.

Well, I'd be getting it out every ten or fifteen minutes just to look at it.

Trace, how do you like your 716?

I'm carrying this Holley today.

I love it. My collection is primarily stockman and I picked up the 716 kind of on a whim and couldn't be happier. It is a large hand filling knife but is very comfortable to use. The lockup is absolutely rock solid and the walk is by far the smoothest of any knife I own or have ever handled. Also the blades which are substantial are not overly thick which will make sharpening when necessary a straightforward job. Luckily mine was LNIB and as such still had the factory edge which with just a little light stropping was shaving sharp. I have read somewhere that this was a difficult knife for Camillus to get into production and then when they did it was challenging to get right. As far as I'm concerned they hit a grand slam.

Although I think they are somewhat overpriced on the auction site I will pick up another one when I can, maybe even one of the stag ones.

That's a nice 493, garddogg. USA or Solingen? That stockman has some of the nicest mother-of-toilet-seat I've seen, too.

Yep, it came out a few times to stare at and grope. It's my first canvas micarta knife. Interesting tactile feel to it. The blade combination really makes this knife, though. Plus now I can keep my copperhead bone version nice and clean.

Thanks Ivoryman.

I sure like that red bone Case jack Charlie.What is the pattern on the one peeking outta the sheath? I'm barely able to make out the shield stamp which I think is K-bar.
Some good carry's by everyone pictured on this page today, don't see a single one I wouldn't be thrilled to own myself.

I packed these 2 today. The ironwood 66 I sought out after being inspired by pics. of David's (Mr DM11) same model. And my osage moose pattern I just had to have because of my fondness for osage.

Good eye Greg! It's a Ka-bar mod. 1003 jumbo jack.

Carving some faces on Walrus teeth and threw the knife in.

Love the teeth Iman, you do great things with those teeth.

Those are both very cool and a little spooky. Walrus teeth must be a lot harder than a block of wood. I take it you go through a good deal of Dremel bits?

That belt must be made of some strong leather with all that stuff weighing down your pants. Is the stag Case a 5375? It's a beaut.

Thanks Tony, acutally Walrus have ivory teeth so it's not enamel and more like a hard wood like Maple in hardness. I use wood bits, files, tools. Not bad to work with at all.

Another Case & a Winchester that I believe was made by Queen

It is one of my favorites

I have the ever present 82 dixie and along for the ride is a schrade cut 2563 3/4". The cut would have been an extremely nice knife when new. Though well used and probably in its 80's or 90's it's still solid as a rock, a testament to its high quality.

Beautiful Schrade KnifeSlinger. Tidioute ain't bad either.
This is the avadado tool.

Possum & Smoke Jumper

Thanks Iman. You've got a fine looking one as well.

Lots of canvas micarta 82s today.
