All About Pocket Knives

Klein 1550-24 hawkbill by George Ibberson. Among the lighter-weight hawkbills I own. I didn't even have a job where it was expressly required, and threw it in my pocket as I got out of bed. It is lightweight and very comfortable. Handle and lock release are oversized, for use with gloves. And it is one of the knvies I have that works very well, even with heavy insulated or leather rancher type gloves.

York Cutlery, Solingen Easy Opener. These were made in the 1960s, and sort of hit-or-miss in quality. The main blade on this one was chipped the whole length and had two big dings. I got one of the dings out, just leaving the huge one in the tip. It was in such bad shape--it took almost ten minutes with diamonds even to get a mostly straight edge. I also had to file down the kick, since the blades were already proud, and after that extensive sharpening work, stuck up even more. I figure this will give me a low-value beater that has real bone.

Thank you garddogg. Not all of their Amber Carved Stag Bone was created equal but they got this one right.

Some mighty fine cutlery you fellers are carrying today .

Still packing the soggy yeller combo (so lazy, can't even take a new pic... NOT!).

Case - Yellow Delrin.

For today Western branded Camillus 716 and a Remington stockman I picked up from one of the AAPK stores awhile back. I don't carry the Remington often, it is just shy of 100 years old and came to me as sharp as a surgeons scalpel, all I ever do to it is light stropping.

Old Imperial with cell wraps on the jigged metal handles, 100 year old Lenox and a rawhide Queen hunter.

Case - Yellow Delrin.

That red "Case" written on that yellow derlin is an attractively striking contrast of colors.

Modified Case Kickstart Trapperlock is getting a lot of pocket time, and building a nice patina as well.

Good stuff fellers .

Decided to add ole smoothy too todays rotation.

Thank you, looks a lot better in the hand than in the photo.

The S&M #5 looks an awful lot like Queen's #20. They are both 5" long.
Here is that S&M #5 with a Queen #20 below it. At the bottom is a Queen #112 1/2 which is 4 1/4" long. Whatever "other" is, I don't have one of those but I wish I did.

Looks like a 20, and those bone Queens are two more great toothpicks. I think I have the same 119½ as yours. Thanks for taking the cue to share more of the ladies.

Outstanding lambsfoot, sir. Are those handles horn?

In what has turned into a week of my favorite Case bone styles (in no particular rational order), today I'm carrying smooth antique bone (ANTIQ on the boxes).
