All About Pocket Knives

I know that voice well, Theo, it's with me all the time!

Patch or no patch, that is a very sweet knife Theo.

VERY cool knife, Theo
Always best to heed that little voice because if you don't and the knife gets away, that little voice has a way of turning into a never-ending cacophony that will continue to echo inside your skull for the rest of your natural knife-collecting life. (Don't bother asking me how I know this, The Monkey can confirm )

I particularly am attracted to the Pena model, but since I still need both of my arms and legs, the odds against my obtaining one seem slim to none.
That won't stop me from looking though!

Still like the Lanny’s Clip best.

Gorgeous group. Beautiful pieces, congrats.

Really like that one. Beautiful bones, great style, the era, the steel. Nothing not to like. Congrats on that score.

Thanks alot, I appreciate it. It does have that old industrial era look..

You found yourself a good one, Theo!

Here is a neat little cigar knife. May possibly be up for trade a,so. A gold filled Dunn Brothers cigar knife.

Snagged the little red western at the show Saturday. Only 2 knife sellers showed but good stuff. Some cheap china things and a couple of knife makers. but I was happy.
The Moki trout just arrived from japan today. 4 days from time of order to my door! Another coming tomorrow from our own Sharp n Shiny guy.

That Moki is one sharp blade!! Got the blood dripping for proof.

Nice Rob. Especially the Moki. I like their bird and trout knives too. I have 4 now. Always looking for handle materials on those that I don’t have. That Western is pretty nice too.

Picked up these...Napanoch...Honk Falls and Wilbert Cutlery

very nice, liking that top knife.
Mark, note the differnt blade grinds, and the blade is heftier in yours, er, mine. I do a photo side be side.

Thanks Dan, that is what I was thinking when I bought it.

Nice Rob, I can really see the difference now. I like the one I sold you better too. Like that swedge on the top of the blade, plus I just love cocobolo and the pearl and abalone accents really set that off.

Those are some really nice elephant toes Jamie. Very nice. I have a soft spot for those knives. Never carried one since most have thumbnail breaking pulls.

This shot show special arrived today… a 2015 beauty (slimline trapper- single blade)

Note the * USA * on the bolster

Thank you and yes the springs on them are the same springs used on the back of F-350s

You got that right Jamie.

Very nice Jim, what nice red bone handles.

Beautiful toes buddy!
I didn't realize that the strong pulls on these knives is standard, I thought my RR Hippo-Toe was the only one that breaks nails when trying to open, but now it seems the design is notorious for that feature.
Absolutely gorgeous stag/bone on your copies Jamie!

Thanks friend, I assure you that these three are very hard on the nails, but man are they beautiful….

That's a fair trade-off to me, Jamie, beauty for ease of opening!

The only elephant toe I’ve ever handled that didn’t break your thumbnail is the A.G. Russell version. My first RR elephant toe was one of the hardest to open knives I’ve ever handled. I sold it a long time ago for that very reason. I don’t collect many of these. The older ones are the best, but I know the springs are just going to kill me if I indulge.

Beautiful red on that Slimline, Jim!
