All About Pocket Knives

My batch of beauties showed up on time today in fantastic condition. Sent from a terrific AAPK'er. I can't find the words ~Q~ so a hearty THANK YOU will have to do.

Those are gorgeous Jerry. Really nice.

I couldn't pass 'em up Mark. I got a whiff of their sirens song and I was a gonner.

Had a Queen Texas toothpick, couple Camillus, Ulster, Kutmaster, others and 4 of these pictured below, 110 dollar winning bid. They seem to be real from what I know, at least I hope....

Awesome looking knives. Terrific price ! I never find deals like that. Is there a particular website that hosts these auctions ? I haven’t been buying knives lately due to the economy but I couldn’t pass up a deal that good !!

Glad you're happy with them, jerryd. Now you have two new 07s to play with each week for an entire month!

BTW--Fun Fact: those four 2004 6207s with the diamond shields (not the white one) are from a limited series Case did only that one year with that specific type of semi-translucent-ish bone, IIRC. I used to know the name of the series...I want to say "Tradewinds" but for some reason that doesn't sound quite right. Maybe a more knowledgeable Case collector, or CCC member will know or be able to find out, if you're at all interested. I don't know how many were produced, but I can tell you I've seen precious few come up for sale on eBay (and you know I'm constantly scouting the 07 listings).

Wow! Congrats Jerry, those are some Sweeeeeeet looking Trappers!
I especially like the yellow John Deere & the red one right beside it. Awesome additions!

Nice score Jerry, I was wondering if there would be others checking out his stuff like us. Great additions for sure. Congrats.

Got in this Al Mar Denali today. Love the cocobolo handles on this one, plus it was hand engraved by the late Bob Valade, what an artist he was. More information on the Al Mar thread.

What a looker, that is some insane wood grain, not to mention color. The slanted bolster with embellishment rocks. Killer knife, congrats.

An incredible score, Theo!
Perhaps a couple of blade replacements and you'll have a great group of users.
I'm in love with the BIG EZO at the bottom!

I agree with you Marco, but then I might just leave them be,just for the history in them. The big eze daddy the bone has alittle bit missing. I might try myself to repair it, but these badboys I might see if any of the talented guys here can help me out on the repair. I don't feel qualified enough with this old of knives.

Sounds like a great plan, Theo. You'd hate to ruin any of those masterpieces due to lack of knowledge or skills, believe me, I know!
BTW, my apologies for addressing you as "Tim" a couple of times in my reply posts, my "senior moments" are butting their way in lately!

A really beautiful display of knives, Jerry.
Their color scheme is teriffic.
Good on ~Q~ for the bomb!

I'm assuming you're referring to an auction hosted by our very own ~Q~, Iman, would you please post directions to it if I'm correct and it's online? Thx!

I'm struggling with the correct term to describe your new Al Mar, Mark, so I'll just go with "Sensational, spectacular, superb, stunning, sweet"!
It's the model I thought it was when I'd asked you over in "Comfort Knives".
Nice catch, buddy, I'm drooling!

Thanks buddy, I got lucky on this auction, I guess nobody that liked knives was bidding on this auction, cause they would have gone a lot higher.

You did get lucky. A terrific find and at a great price. I hope to get lucky too, but I don’t have good luck as a rule. Maybe I will. I just keep trying.

Thank you Ivoryman and Mark. I’m proud to add this one to my collection.

Picked this 37 1/2 up in Tulsa

Gorgeous. That's some group you have been posting. Outstanding. Congrats on picking up a gold mine of vintage beauty.

WOW! That old Greenbone sure is something special. Great photos, too.

That is a Beautiful old Tested knife. I wish all of the AAPK guys that goes to Tulsa could meet up for a few minutes. Probably everyone goes by Rogers tables.

Harold

Thanks everyone! I’ll be in Tulsa this November

Arrived today

A most unique plastic handle! I really like this inexpensive thumb hole patriotic lockback 3.5” (closed) made-in-USA knife
