All About Pocket Knives

Beautiful set David. I've been admiring this series for awhile, and I'm thinking the toothpick at the bottom looks very much like the A.G. Russell Texas Ranger series "Clasp" knife. Really attractive color too!

I heard on the news that inflation is officially over ( )
So, to celebrate, I splurged on this K'roo Wharncliffe Swayback with Pepper Tree Root Burl handle (since I no longer have to worry about the cost of gas & groceries! )

Well I'll be darn Q since all that stuff is over I guess I had better tell Cheryl so I can get back to knife hunting like I want to.
BTW nice knife, you have some of the best looking knives I see posted on AAPK....

Beautiful knife Q

wow Q, that's a nice one!

I've been away from home so I'll post up my latest findings together here...

Picked up a beautiful Western Bolder Colorado bone handle knife in great condition, also an old swell center stamped Ulster over Knife USA ...72 clone?
A neat Indian Chief- pewter handled Bowie, maker unknown but marked 88 FM , it's more decorative than anything but it struck me as a unique piece, picture taken with my latest copy of Texas Highways...
And lastly a used copy of the 2nd edition Goins book of markings from our brother Reverand...thank you again my friend

I'll believe that when I see it. No luck so far.

Nice pick-ups, y'all!

Thanks David, Floyd & Gone2Three for the kind words; it's always more fun to share with an appreciative audience of like-minded knifers.

This Browning Wharncliffe Swaybelly is pretty much on the other end of the price spectrum as the K'roo and is made in China (gasp! ), but still a pretty decent little knife for the money. It's a SMKW exclusive called the "Steambank" and has a long pull on either side of the blade for right- or left-hand opening, a feature not commonly seen on very many knives. Handle is brown resin-laminated canvas. Closed length = 3½"

I saw that one the other day when I was poking around on their website. I thought about it
and then went on for the RR I was looking for. Good one ~Q~

New old stock, razor sharp, late 30’s mid 40’s Ka-bar hunter. Love my Ka-bar folders.

Great looking Ka-Bar Whitneyrifle.
Great looking Browning Q. And the Kroo, wow is that a beauty. Congrats both of ya.

Wadsworth and Sons, Germany. Liked the bones and the solid little frame and will go fine as a secondary. First Wadsworth and am impressed.

Nice looking finds everyone!

Nice pick up!! Great look about it

In my mail today was a gift from Steamboat Willie! Thanks buddy! 1971 Case XX P172L SSP "BOSS" lockback clasp knife with SS blade, NS and brass hardware, and beautiful Pakkawood covers, 9 3/4" oal. It's specially cool since I didn't have a clasp knife represented in my collection and now I do!

Not my normal cup of tea, but it fits you to a “T”! Nice pick up!

Thanks a bunch Whitney! It's not actually my style either, but it was a gift from a fellow member so I definitely have a place for it in my collection. I love my stilettos but this is a BIG knife so I have no complaints!

I forgot I put this one on my Birthday Wish List when I bought the other one. Now I have two and this one is much better than the one I bought for myself.

Great looking classic knife!

Good looking handles on that, Jerry!

I like your knife Jerry. Barn board is one of the few jigging patterns I enjoy on a using knife.

Looks a lot better than the one I bought.

Good on you Willie!
