All About Pocket Knives

Larry that 6391 is a beauty!

Old Cutler a great showing!

What a great show of knives, everyone.
It is a real pleasure to see all of these.

Here' s a little whittler with no stamps whatsoever. A great, solid knife. 3 1/4".

Very nice joe!

Joe,

Here is a knife stamped Tidioute PA, and poorly stamped in my opinion, but I have seen few Tidioute stamps.
This is one of the things in knife collecting/accumulating that frustrates me. I don't trust this knife.
It's just too shiny and new looking and I don't trust the stamp at all.
But what a knife. It's very well made and has strong springs and
the blades have smooth action and no wobble at all. It's built like a tank. 3 3/4".
It's roundish with big bolsters and a nice swell center. Nice smooth bone covers which add a lot of weight because of their roundness.
Actually the smooth bone is another reason I don't trust this knife. Who would make a knife this nice and then make a fraud out of it?
Any way, (I hope I don't get billed for a therapy session) I have set this knife aside but I believe I will sharpen it and carry it now.

Thanks for looking.

Thank you, Greg and Larry.

Larry, that Case is quite fine.

Lloyd, that is a very fine Miller Bros.

OLDE CUTLER, that is a great show of knives.

All great old whittlers Lloyd, Larry, Olde Cutler and Joe ... All are so nice but my eye keeps floating back to that Miller Bros Lloyd - that is a nice example in all ways ... she's a real beauty!!

Here are a few of mine-

H&B New Britain CONN - 2 1/2"
Thomaston Knife Co - 3"
Challenge Cut Co - 3"

Those are beauties, lee.
Nice clean old knives in great condition.

Your're right, Lloyds Miller Bros. is really special.

Nice Lee.

Thanks Roger ..

Wicked Whittlers guys. I really like those with the MOP.

Lee, awesome

Man, you guys are posting some beauties, great whittlers!

A couple I have, the Challenge has been shown but I'm not sure about the Catt, the Catt is not a split spring and is an unusual gunstock whittler, apparently not very common.

Thank you gentlemen. I pick up a whittler when I can.

Nice additions John.

Thanks Joe (somehow I missed your reply above Roger ), Larry, Twhite and John ...

John - as I said before that Challenge is SWEET ..

Great knives John. Rodger the Thomaston is something special.

Just got this IXL in the mail today. Factory edge still and great walk and talk. The MOP just shines.

More fantastic old whittlers! John that Catt gunstock whittler is indeed a true gem.

Lloyd, You've done it again, waking up a wonderful old thread. Greg, Lee, Lloyd, Larry, Joe & John a fine show of whittlers. Keith the large Remington stag is one of the holly grail of whittlers. A real beauty.
