All About Pocket Knives

Carried this trio for 2 days now.

The blue jigged bone reminds me of my first cubscout knife (which I'm still hoping turns up in my parents house). Today I even got some time to get the feel of it. Not sure if I prefer the pen blade to the spey yet but loving it. Thanks Steve!

That's a nice one! Congrats!

Slinger, I really dig that bullnose! Man, that’s top notch.
I think I might have to look for one of those!

I’m rolling with the 25 and Mudbug.

I have never seen that last Sword Brand before. Need to look at the refrence sites and old Camillus catalogs better. I'm guessing what, late '80s-early '90s due to it being so similar to a Bucklite?

Toting this one lately.

Looks like "Gumfuddy" handles, (Case's version of handle material used during WWII). I have a Russlock with the same material, seems indestructable; nice knife, I think I probably need one.

Thanks. I’ve always liked the 64047 but retired a nice one that I had lightly carried when they started appreciating so much in value. I saw this one a while back, put in a bid and got it. Yes, those handles are Rough Black aka Gum Fuddy. It’s far from perfect but I’ve wanted one to carry and this fits the bill. As you can see it had some pitting but no blade loss. It makes a good EDC. If it had been in better shape I probably wouldn’t have it, and sure wouldn’t be packing it.

Case brought the Gum Fuddy handles back a few years ago after it had been retired for many years - your Russlock would be one of those newer ones. And you’re right it’s pretty rugged stuff.

Thanks, I think the swedging on the blade are what attracted me to it initially.

It's hard to beat the #49 for a perfect knife in my book. Just my opinion which is kinda' like noses, everybody has one.

I agree the 49 is hard to beat. It's becoming a favorite.

Possum Skinner and Mudbug today.

Nice Steve!

I've got a pocket FULL right now. Practicing learning some wood carving, so I'm *whittling* my choices down.
Left to right: SAK, Buck 55, Old Timer carver, Mastercarver whittler 2, Boker Congress.
Oddly, I find myself using the Old Timer the least, the Congress and Mastercarver the most.
