All About Pocket Knives

One heck of a picture!!! Some "to die for" on that $20!!!!

GREAT STOOF!!!
Here's an older Camillus EO jack with delrin scales.


Neat old Crucible that our ESTEEMED Charlie Noyes donated to my cause. THANKS AGAIN Charlie!!
It has a broken pen blade, but it still has CLASS!


Neat old ROBESON jack


Another interesting little ROBESON jack, look at the two shields. Charlie thinks it might be a post WWII knife made with the scales that were used during the war.


A cute little IROQUOIS


How about a 1950 Vincent Black Shadow. ain't a knife, but it is SHARP.


Sword Brand Scout with shrinking scales.




Crucible scout.


STAINLESS Challenge scout.


AND an overhauled Robeson Carpenter's Choice.

Now Wullie, Them first two and that yellow scout have SPEARS!

That EO we talked about in the other thread is a pretender.

Oh BTW, that Black Shadow is SHARP!

Here is one of my favorite pre 60 that I own. A PAL Blade Co. I love this bone.

That Pal is FINE in so many ways!!!

Thanks David, PAL's are not highly collectible but they have a good history and their natural handles are some of the prettiest around in my opinion. Got my eye on another one (Bone Cattleman) here in Amarillo at an antique store, but the owner obviously thinks those scales are gold and not jigged cow bone! lol! It's been there for a year, however, and I work on him about once a month! If I get it , I'll post it as well. Smoke

Hey 'Smoke,

You ever make it down to Claude? Old Chester, has some neat stuff. He likes old watches most, but I bet he's got some blades there too. I ain't seen him or talked to him in about 10 years now. I guess he's still in bidness. His place is the old store right across from the courthouse on the main drag through town with the indian sittin in a rockin chair out front. His collection of stuff for sale is eclectic at best.

He's good folks.

Jim Sargent included a section on PAL, with many photos, values, etc., in an edition of his
American Premium Guide to Knives & Razors.

I forget which edition, or if he ran it more than once. I have the book, as I have all his editions except the latest. I'll check it out if you like.

If you like PAL knives, it'd be a good book to own.

Charlie Noyes

Hey Wullie, I go through Claude from time to time but I never have stopped to browse or shop. Next time i'm through, I will check and see if he is still open and what all he's got.

Charlie, I've got Sargent's 6th edition but that is the only one I have. I don't remember a section on PAL but I haven't looked at it in a spell. I will have to get it out and see. Thanks, Kelley

The section on PAL is in the 3rd and 4th Editions of Sargent's American Premium Guide To Knives & Razors. I don't know if it is in the 5th edition or not as I don't have that one.

That Boker or Simmons Jack are very very much like what I wish GEC would make again!

Nobody that I know of makes anything that cool these days.

Thought I'd add a few more to the mix:

A pair of American Knife Co Plymouth CT knives;one has a folding brass ruler with a patent date of April 1868 on it.

American Shear & Knife Co.

Fletcher Hardware Detroit MI;don't know who made it.

Frederich Hartkopf multiblade.

George Woodhead 2 blade pen;only the second Woodhead folder I've ever seen(I also have a pruner by him).

A well worn Holley.

Those are at the Steamship Arabia Museum in Kansas City, a place I highly recommend anyone anywhere near there visit. It is worth the trip... an amazing story and the family that runs it are accommodating beyond belief if you want to examine something closely

I wish I'd known about that place during the hundreds of trips I made through and and near KC back when I was trucking.

MAYBE someday.

That Ulster ^^^ is a fine knife!

I'm drawn to the older knives myself. Here are a couple in my collection: the knife on the left is an early horsemans. The tang stamp is illegible but the blades have a very strong snap still. The knife on the right was given to me from my father. He had taken it from a German soldier who had surrendered to him. The maker of that knife is, J.A.Schmidt, Solingen. Both are solid, well made knives.

Bull,
Awesome family history on the knife on the right!

What a great way to spend new years eve;looking at these great old knives. Thanks very much for shring.Chuckv
