All About Pocket Knives

That is a great knife Joe! The scales are the same type as mine. I love the blades on that half congress. These old knives have lots of character, that's where my focus is going to be.

"I just found out they wuz makin' the stuff,up yo' way____________so's I had to have me a few"

They make some nice knives in that part of Pennsylvania don't they Monk? Nice to see you're carrying that knife. It's a shame to not use some of those beauties!

They sure do make em' pretty ______Mike-----I was looking at getting,what they call an"" EDC (factory blemish knife)"" but there was only a few dollars difference,in them and the non-serialized ,so I just got the one with no numbers -------and you are very right-on, about carrying a nice knife-----until I found this forum site,I only carried a bargain special,and only one of those,_________till,I wore the blades down now,after reading some of the guys post,and seeing all the different knives ,they carry_________I've got 4 laying on my desk,and carry a different one,each day and three of them are stags -----I had never carried a stag,until,this year________WOW !!!!!!! Have A Great Day """Mr. VikingDog"""

I agree compleatly Monk.

This forum has changed the way I look at knives in a big way. It's like the lights came on.

Here's a nice little Camillus (3 9/16") that came in a few days ago. Scruffy blades. I like the little clip and the matchstrike on the main. Can someone tell me the purpose of the copeing blade? Is this a carpenter style?

Picked this up last night at our group's weekly get together. It's a gift from my ex-sister-in-law and her boyfriend. When she was over here the other night, she told me they had a couple of knifes for me. I was trying to work out how I was going to be appreciative when they turned out to be some cheap Chinese piece of crap. I had worried needlessly. I'm quite pleased with both. I like all kinds of advertising stuff and the little Irish Imperial advertising knife is a sharp little bugger. The Camillus is one big hunk of steel in the hand. All very nice. No need to lie about appreciating them.

Very nice jerry. I love the Camillius lok back wildlife series. I believe I have all of the different animal camios in that series but I am not 100% sure. They are a handful of knife for sure and it was a fun project to collect. It's great to see you got the box! Did you get the belt sheath as well? Congrats, and you're right you don't have to fake a thank you. Smoke

Thanks, Smoke. No, I didn't get the sheath.

I've been wanting a large Stockman for a while and just picked this one up from knifeswapper. Great looking stag and at 4-1/4", its a handful of Stockman.

Camillus does list this knife as a "Carpenter's Whittler". Coping Blade: These are narrow blades that have a sharp point. The edge is flat like a sheepsfoot, but the back angles sharply from the spine. They are ideal for cutting patterns on a flat surface. Also, their thin size makes them handy when cutting in tight spaces. Click here for illustration

This came in the mail today, it is a Clauss hobo knife made by case, same as a Case 6452 pattern. It is in great shape with strong snap and flawless handles.

The Camillus #72 is a great little knife! I've had one for more than twenty years. The model is called both Whittler and Carpenter, or Carpenter's Whittler, I believe. Popular knife for whittling and carving. The coping blade is made for detail work and cutting straight lines.

Edit: Didn't see you, TJ
Taking good care of that great looking rehandled one?

Jerry,

Greg,
Great looking Schlieper Stockman!

Had that little feller in my pocket for about the last two weeks. It's really a great knife and Orvet did a great job on it.
