All About Pocket Knives

Evening of no salmon with a Colonial fish knife

gdogg, that’s a new one for me. What material are the handles made from? Most of those old fish knives didn’t have very attractive handles.
Salmon fishing would also be new to me. I guess I’ve just led a sheltered life catching these Florida bass. Be sure to share a picture next time when you catch a salmon.

Queen #63 Railsplitter with D2 & bone & 1983 Case #62109X Mini Copperhead with CV & bone.

A nice looking pairing there geo. That rail splitter is especially appealing to me.

Appreciate that, Greg. It's a real struggle to keep up. Ya'll are making it hard & I like it!

My very first "modern" knife, heavily influenced by what I've seen on AAPK, of course: Kershaw Leek #1660SWBLK. Tip lock, thumbstud, Speedsafe opening, all new to me. I've never even had a liner lock before. I've had a real sheltered life.

You'll enjoy that Leek Geo TF here's a little Salmon action and my son's Bass..

Thanks QS, I have a container of scrap leather at the shop for various uses, making myself a few knife slips has been enjoyable.

This ebony S&M jack with steel liners and pins just seemed right for a lazy Sunday carry.
On a side note the beaded pouches in the pic are NOT used for knife carry or storage, that might get me in hot water with the boss. I found those at a trading post years ago and gifted them to my wife.

Morning dove hunt...
Benchmade Triage, SAK, Huglu shotgun

Been carrying these two all weekend, they perform most tasks I need on the daily.

Doh don’t know why my pics always show up sideways

Not sure why, either...but if you click on it...it enlarges and isn't sideways.

So that is what y'all are catching way up yonder in the northeast part of the world? Salmon and bass, just looking your son's fish, must be a small mouth bass. The markings are not like the southern bass and of course the mouth is looks smaller. That's appears to big a pretty good sized fish.
Do y'all filet the salmon and fry it or is there another way to eat a fresh fish?
Thanks, gdogg!

Pair of Queens in "Sheffield jig" MOP today. Great W&T on both. Can't beat the price at traditionalpocketknives.

Tony, That is the first time I have encountered the term Sheffield jig. Years ago I saw it referred to as French cut MOP. In any event, it is a very nice acquisition.

Tony, usually not a MOP fan but those two sure look great.

Added a 63047 to the pockets today

My pockets are pretty boring with the same 3 every day.

Great knives everyone. Queen today.

A Buck for smaller tasks. A Ruger for larger tasks.

Thanks Floyd. The owner of the store where I purchased the bead work said they were made in the 60's for the tourist trade. He had a couple boxes of them and I wish I had bought more as he was closing the store for good at that time.

Today I carried 2 jacks, a Texas & a Harness.
