All About Pocket Knives

Ivoryman, that autumn gold knife looks like it is very functional as well as being aesthetically superb!

For Friday I paired an old friend, my 10-dot Case Barlow I call my "Number One," with my newest friend, a fresh out of the tube GEC #29.

Possum and a Barlow

Thanks Steve Warden, Doglegg, and BFORSE, definitely useful functional 66 stockman. And yup, carved the hammerhead. Good eye, most people think it's a Pacific Islander fish hook.

Little chief, big congress, and bigger fish knife, ole winterbottom bone handle has been repaired, don't keep her from filleting a ripe matter.

Thanks for the kind words on the ole Barlow, she's sweet, one of those deals where nobody wanted her I reckon. Seller had a minimum bid of $ 9.99, and I had missed on couple of knives that no one bid on so I put in a 10 buck bid and went to bed never figuring I'd win it.
Didn't get back to the bay for a couple of days and lo and behold I got her.

Awesome Queens again Big H!
And beautiful carries guys All those GEC's and Case are making me drool...

A Moore Maker today.

Those scales glow Quick Steel. Nice looking knife all around. Would that be Queen made?

Thank you Iman, glad you recognize the quality. Who made it? That is always a tough question with Moore Maker because they used (use?) quite a few companies. Because of the exceptionally fine hafting and the time frame I am going to guess it was made by Queen. There is just a chance that it may have been made by Canal Street Cutlery.

I know they have used Bear & Sons on their low priced knives; Utica; Camillus, CSC, Queen. I think there were even a very few made by Boker.

Thanks, I couldn't tell but now you mention Canal Street I could see that too. I have had a couple of theirs and they were very well done. Might have been Boker even? Thanks, interesting. I like trying to figure out who makes knives for who. Reminds me of Cripple Creek and Northwoods really being a GEC or a Queen.

The only thing that didn't make the day a total loss was being able to tote those two sweet lookin' knives!

Thanks Steve

That knife in a beauty I-Man, great stag and nice design.

Hope everyone is having a pleasant Sunday. Today I'll be carrying this S&M rosewood jack and a RR bone copperhead.

Sunknife, that very pretty rosewood just gave me an idea.
I’d love to have a rosewood knife with wires crossing it to make it look like a miniature fretboard. Throw in the MOP dots too.
I bet our guitar, banjo and uke players would snap that up!
Hmmm, I wonder if it’s out there?

Heading to the park shortly.....

MY EDCs today!!

I like what yer thinkin'!!

I love that idea Ann!
Maybe I should talk to GEC, Bear & Sons, or Camillus to see if they could come up with a few different patterns... I have been thinking for quite awhile about fire-in' up my own cutlery company...

Not a practical EDC for me but a nice Sunday knife.

Thanks for the compliment and the wish. Right back at you. Great looking pair you have there.

Going with Serpentine style from GEC and Case for the SGTMs kind of thing. My two favorite trad knife companies. 2014 #66 in Ebony, and '40-64 #087 Case in green bone.

Thats quite a pair I-man.I carried ol'Rays Buck this weekend.All I needed

I will be VERY impressed if you can get Camillus to take a SFO.

Needed something small and sturdy today. Last year's AAPK #14 fit the bill perfectly.

I meant Colonial Knife Company...

Couple Cases and a Randall.

I got 8 extra uses...out of this...from the stuff clinging to the walls. It's hard, solid facts...such as this...that you can use, to let your spouses know...that knives are not really costing us as much as you think

Shore hope they don't see much labour.
