All About Pocket Knives

Got home today from a great weekend in Pigon Forge....we had a very nice and clean cabin. When I get home need to get mail, inside I have a package from Mr. Fimamore, I open a model 97/96 no matter the model number I name this one "dont mess with unless sober knife" because I think I could lose a LIMB with it...
Along side of a 5OT I was lucky enough to get from him a few months back.. The STAY SOBER knife as you can see has his etching on it, a nice touch. Thanks Jeff I more than admire your skill and I guess a lot of patience goes into your work...

Also in the mailbox from Mr Sanders store I was able to purchase 2 Parkers that both have Pearl handles and IM a sucker for a Parker sucker for a canoe and sucker for pearl handles too...Im very glad to have gotten these two also

Nice wood and MOP Jaime. I like the wood pile shots too.


New Huusk just arrived. Liked the looks of the knife a while ago, but only knabbed it last week because it was 70% off. Definitely worth the 19 smackers. But I don't know if I would have said that about full price. Cuts well, slices, peels, and so far so good with all I've used it for. The finger hole isn't really where it works for me, but the handle is comfortable and fits the hand well, so I guess I really don't need the hole. If there is a flaw maybe the blade stock is a bit thicker than I would choose myself, because I like a little thinner blade on the kitchen knives. But, so far it has done everything I have needed.

Very nice I-man, looks like it would be a good tool to have

Very nice Jamie! It sounds like you had a good time this weekend and that was the whole point! The pieces you picked-up are all stunning, but like you I'm a sucker for MOP on Parker knives, and although I've been watching the models in Matt's store I've yet to pull the trigger, so I'm glad they went to you who truly appreciates their beauty! Welcome back, glad you're here!

Beautiful skinner Iman! It looks so tough it's almost out of place in a simple veggie bowl! The price was sure right!

Thanks Mark, I got lost in SMKW and ended up downstairs with all the rocks dinosaurs bones and marbles…I almost convinced myself to buy a Megladon sharks tooth….anyway I made it out after a older lady showed me where to go…LOL

That's hilarious! I'd have been tempted by a Megladon tooth myself! I'm glad you're back on safe territory! Look at what the mail brought me!

When I first posted the knife in the top 2 pictures awhile back some of you guys were quite impressed with it, and the same guys are aware of my plan to buy as many pairs, meaning manual and automatic as possible, so check out what I found!

Very nice and I can tell by your tone you are super pumped…they look awesome Mark…

Just in today from TripleF (Scott) a Finish Puukko reindeer horn handle and sheath with scrimmed work, and a Humphreys pen with what I believe is ivory scales.and he added one of his spoon/forks.____Dave

Not a mail call but in person buy. I was like a kid in a candy store.
Benchmade Auto Fact and a Microtech Troodon Mini. Saw a couple of Protech semi-customs that I really liked but not the 4 figure price.

Thanks Jamie! I decided awhile back to attempt to buy the manual and the automatic models of knives that I already own or that are new to me, so it's very satisfying when a set gets completed. I didn't realize that the auto version is 2 1/4" longer when open and the lanyard hole doesn't have a brass tube, but the bigger size will always be alright by me and I'll never use the lanyard anyway, so no harm no foul!

Great pick-ups, everyone!

Marco, you’re really going to have to show us a picture of your knife case someday!

Crossed another one off my list today!

The camera does not do justice to that bone.

Ahh, I would LOVE to be able to do that Willie since I've been searching for a glass-topped case with stacked drawers to store/display my knives in, but so far haven't found any that will ship to Canada, or, even in Canada I could buy. I'm currently displaying them in 7 of those red/black faux leather cardboard displays with elastic bands that sit on a large 3 tiered glass shelved table, my bigger knives hanging on the wall, and a half shelf with 6 plexiglass stands holding 5 knives each, as well as a few REALLY biggies propped up against the wall. I have no complaint how my knive appear the way they are, but the accumulation of dust is making me crazy! A new display for my knives is on a long "Things to do" list so I'm sure things will come together at the right time, and THEN I'll post some pictures for you Willie!

Always good to cross one off the want list, especially when it looks that good. Congratulations!

A knife display has been on my priority list for a while. I'd like to have a revolving one like my local Tractor Supply has, but I don't know how feasible that would be.

Those are awesome, Boji, especially the Benchmade.



Sweet find, SBW.

Just received a box from TripleF. I purchased the Schrade 4x4 and the Wenger Backpacker II, and he bombed me with the Ridge Runner hobo. Many thanks to TripleF for another great purchase!

picked up this mess

I'm not big into fixed blades, but I'd help you clean up that "mess."

in all seriousness, that looks like a pretty nice haul!

These 2 puppies arrived today and I couldn't be happier. I spent about an hour cleaning them up and that's all (none of Herb's custom mods). The Case '54 looks like "appaloosa" bone to me, but I don't seen an "A" in the pattern stamp. Anyone know when Case started adding the "A" to the pattern stamp for appaloosa? Oh, and the '54 came from an actual, real auction (Zottlemoyer in Fogelsville PA). I bid on 8 different auctions that day (on-line), and got beat by people who were there in person on all of them except this one. Sorry for the dark pics, I just lost most of the sunlight for today.
