All About Pocket Knives

Thanks knifegnome. I have tried Fulton History and previously only got to the old postcard page. This did allow me to search historical newspapers, but, I could not figure out how to clip an article out of them in a readable fashion. I just now tried again and get to a link to Fulton History through the New York public library, it is a lot better than the postcard page, but no goldfish swimming across the page. I will keep trying.

I often have trouble getting to the website, try this, type in fultonhistory.com and then search, scroll down and wikipedia should be there,click on wikipedia and should bring up information on fultonhistory, scroll down a little and you should see fultonhistory.com highlighted in blue, click on that and it should bring you to the goldfish.Not sure why it takes so much work to get to the website. Good luck.

Yep, that worked. Thanks knifegnome!

Found this one using Fulton History. From the Newburgh Daily News, dated July 22, 1922.

I have one I’ve been trying to figure out for a while now. I can’t get anywhere with it. Maybe someone here can figure it out.

I found a vague reference to a Randall dive knife mentioned in a newspaper article. Florida Today Dec 7,1975. I’d love to read this article.

This is an article about Randall knives from Florida Today, dated Dec 7, 1975. Not sure if this is what you were looking for or if you already have this? Clicking on the article will make it big enough to read.

Here are the second two pages of the article.

Here you go eveled.
I do a lot of research online pertaining to my family history through Ancestry.com, Fold3.com (Military) and Newspapers.com.
I was able to pull up your request. The article is posted below.

Dan, you got two pages that I missed. I also used newspapers.com to find this.

Great site isn't it.
I can spend hours reading through these papers even after I find out what i'm looking for.
I'm sure you know what I mean.

Sorry about the "gaps" in the print. It's the way it was copied on the site.

Thanks Old Folder and danno50! I really appreciate the efforts. It’s a great article.

The picture I saw with the referenced article was of a Randall dive knife found by a treasure hunter. I guess the picture and the article were missed matched? Imagine finding a Randall on the beach?

I do know what you mean, Dan, it is a a great site.
Skip, the article on the Walden Safety Device was very interesting. Needed a little guessing, but the general idea comes through.
Eveled, I tried searching further to try find the article with the photo of the dive knife, but not luck.

Thanks Dan. I really appreciate the follow up. Just a wild goose chase I guess. Thank you again.
