All About Pocket Knives

These will probably take of anything that comes my way.

Quick Steel, VERY nice knife!
geocash, VERY nice knives!
bighomer, VERY nice knives!

bighomer, the lion on your scrimshaw looks very well done.

Today, joining the Benchmade and SOG pocket tenants, is this Camillus 165.

Lately I've been alternating between my Rough Rider Trapper and the Marble's Swing Guard. For some reason though I'm really starting to like the old and new Swing Guard knives.

Both are VERY good looking knives! Really like the handles on the Marbles!

Same stuff, different day.

It looks ok I guess (kidding).

Same as ivoryman. Same knife different day... should probably start rotating. But it is one of my favorite EDCs!

BFORCE, E/Os are alway a favorite of mine and yours is very good looking.

Nice shot BFORSE, tell me what the icon or symbol on the shield is? Sweet ebony EZ and patina coming along.

That empty shield was just begging for an initial. Unfortunately I never engraved anything before nor had a tool to do so. So I took a very small file, researched the cutting angles of an engraving tool and made my own tool out of that file. I then found an old font style from the late 1800’s and sketched it on the shield with a very sharp pencil. Short story long if you zoom in you might see that it is a stylized “F”.

I thought it was an F, a rather fancy one. I think you found a classy way to personalize your knife and did a great job with it.

Thanks geocash, this one will be an heirloom.

Quick Steel, is that a Camillus?

Yes it is, a Camillus E/O.

Longpull or nailnick?

I think I've come down with a case of EO fever. I know I've been exposed recently.

Nailnick.
