All About Pocket Knives

Here is a friction folder in Mammoth from Gary DeBrock in Montana.

P. S.
Still working on the pictures.

Man, you folks got some fine knives.

This is the only ivory one I can find. It is kind of a oddball, so I thought somebody might like to see it. I have not figured this uploading thing out here yet or I would include some better photos.

This is a Globe Cutlery Company pocket knife with inlayed ivory scales. I was told it is called a "Interframe" design, patented some time around 1925. I have never did any research on it yet to confirm that. It is all nickel silver except for the blades/punch and springs. Tang stamp on master is GLOBE CUT. Co. over NEW YORK. Back of master has PATENTED and Punch is stamped PAT.APR over 25-05.

Notice the wire stripper on the master right about the tang.

For its age, it has been well loved.

el lobo, i like your D'holder UNFOLDER knife! my officemate saw it & he said he likes your casing too!




***God speed!***

Here is my favorite slab of ivory (it goes to an elephant toenail)... Colin Paterson did this. I told him to scrimshaw anything he wanted on it as long as it was a picture of an elephant. This is what I got back

Bryan,

That is some great work...very, very, nice.
