All About Pocket Knives

Been carrying old Jackknives the last couple of days, today this Camillus #13. Still in great physical condition despite much age - great W&T and no wobble - the most important things to me in a pocketknife. OH

Sweet carries fellows. Iman and OH that is a contrast in carries. But both cut. Like them both.

Felt like carrying some bone handled today . Grabbed my favorite little Catt. And a 2014 GEC single blade lock back.

I have never been a big Kershaw fan, but this one blade Culpepper is an excellent knife.
At 4.1" closed and a 3.2" blade it fits and feels perfect in my hand. Until something
better comes along, this is the knife that will be in my jean pocket.
Did that sound like a commercial spot for Kershaw?

Nice bones. I see you use that oil pen like I do, very handy.

Stag day

The 61ot was made from 1976-1990. Great pattern and yes they are underrated. The old bone 8613’s and 861’s (which are the predecessors of the 61ot) are really nice.



I have been carrying the 856 most of the time lately but today I am also carrying the gec 81 stockman.

'76-'90 it is then. Thanks KnifeSlinger, appreciate it. That's closer than I was to it. Any thoughts on todays load? Thanks again.

I know that several are interested in the RR work knife, ole smokey "SMKW" has them in denim micarta in stock.

Another Schrade day.

A Colonial Forest-Master.

A couple of Cases made from 1965 to 1969: a #6318 Medium Stockman & a #6227 Small Premium Jack, both with CV & bone:

You’re welcome.

Looks like a good 895 you have there. Good bones. That’s most likely a 1950’s knife.

Nice knives "altes Haus"! I like that RR & that beautiful Ol' HOK you have there!

Translation..., "altes Haus" = old House = my old Friend

Very nice looking Rodgers my friend!

This nice old Queen Barlow spoke to me this morning. Wonderful walk and talk. Tight lockup and Japanese level runup.

Nice Barlow, never seen one with the maker marks below the Rogers name on bolster. Not sure if” makers mark “ is correct wording ,but is marking the bolster ,with those two marks ,normal for that knife.
Thank you Sir, have a good one down there my friend
