All About Pocket Knives

Thank you David.

A few minutes ago, this knife became mine for best offer. It's a CAMILLUS 100th Anniversary set. The first two pictures are of the knife, the key ring in the box and the lid. Everything looks like it's in GREAT condition. It will match up nicely with my other 100th Anniversary set, the last picture.

Both are reeeeaaal nice, Skip.
But you know that stockman is the one that catches my eye!

These should arrive within the next few days. I got a little carried away but life goes on.

Thank you Steve.

I just bought these three knives from the same vendor, for best offer. All three are part of the Imperial and Colonial, Mexico connection. They are all PASTOR ALEMAN (German Shepherd), multi-blade & tool pocket knives. It looks like all three are going to need some degree of cleaning. When they arrive, sometime early in July, I'll do what's necessary. Pictures will be taken and posted in the appropriate location(s). Here they are.

This will fit in nicely in the zoo. From what I can see, it looks like it's in very good condition. When I receive it, I'll check it out. Pictures will be taken and posted in the appropriate location(s).

A small lockback (2 3/8 closed); model 870. I just love these little lockbacks. For $10 shipped, I couldn't say no to bidding, and I did get it. I prefer the 902 as my choice small Camillus lockback (rubber handle, dual locking blades, serrated second blade), but this one's good for light stuff I do around the house--cleaning my fingernails, cutting tape, opening food packaging, opening packages (aka more knives).

I like the handles of cattle knives, and found this #75 for about $25. This is my perfect blade layout; clip, sheepsfoot, and pen. Eventually getting rehandled.

Congrats on your find Cody. I am fond of Camillus knives myself. Love the cattle knife!

Some nice 07W's there Jerry! I am "Green" with envy.

I just bought this for best offer. I couldn't resist. It's a CAMILLUS box with the steel sharpening rod. The knife, which I believe is a CAMILLUS 14, doesn't belong with this box. As far as I know, the only CAMILLUS patterns that came in this type of box are the 165, the 177 and the 179. Out of the three, only the 177 has two blades. You can NOT confuse a 177 with a 14. The others have three blades. Could a pattern 14 come in a box like this? I suppose it's possible. If yes, then I have another great box & knife combination. If no, well I still get a VERY good looking knife and a box that I now have to obtain the "proper" knife for. Hopefully, the box end panel will still have the pattern number stamped on it. I think it's for a 165. I'll just have to wait and see.

Hey Skip, you've been pretty busy in the last couple of days. Congrats on all the great prints & knives. Especially the 100 Ann. Set and this one here! They are both awesome Skip!




I got very Lucky today! I just bought my first Peanut today at a good price IMO. It's supposedly unused. The guy was asking €57 or about $64 for it. I chated back & forth with him a couple of times over eBay mails, then made him an offer this morning before work. I offered him €25 or about $28 for it, told him it would be in good hands if he sold it to me, but I didn't think he would take it. I checked eBay when I got home from work and he has accepted my offer.

treefarmer said it appears to him that it could be a 2001. If he is right, then I've finally picked up the "Missing Link" for my "Case Family" set I've been working on and that would be wonderful! Unfortunatly, I just have this one single picture from the seller for now.

Thanks for looking!

Congrats Tom! Knice one!!

Thank you Tom. That's a pretty good looking Case you have. I mean you will have.

A Barlow made by Barlow!?

That's a cool one TB! I like knives with scissors on em for some reason. Nice Score!

Thanks for the kind comments Smitty & Skip! I'll post more pictures as soon as I have it.

Tony, I think that's the first Barlow I've ever seen with scissors. Of course I don't get out much.

Very nice TTB. Can't wait to see more photos when you get it in hand. It looks excellent.

Well, I couldn't resist this one for $12. Appears to be a No. 16 Equal End Jack with the '60 to '76 tang stamp. The seller said it had snap, so I will see when it arrives, and I do a little cleaning. The pics are from the seller.

That's NICE pb!!!!
