All About Pocket Knives

From left to right, Wostenholm, Woodhead, Dickinson, Celebrated Cutlery, Burdekin, last two can't make out right now.

The last one has a knob in the guard, don't know if that is original or not but it looks like it could be used to hold it in the sheath

Ok they look nice to me just mail them out asap lol

Thanks Ken!

Feels like a Western .... no markings.... Any ideas out there from the experts?

G-dog, I have nothing to offer other than to say it sure looks like a Western to me. I wonder if Western ever made unmarked knives for the government.

Thanks Q.s. ... that is what I was thinking...

I liked the the last Puma so well, I decided to try another. G10 handle on this one.

Dont really collect Bowies but wasnt gonna pass up this Queen.

en, I can't really make out the tang marks. Here is a photo of mine.

Robpa, I like the very clean lines of your knife.

Thanks Ken, in the Western section of this site (AAPK) there are pictures of a handguard stamped Bowie as well. I just can't figure out how the stamping is not there IF it is a true western ... other than being used for a Gov't contract for the "spooks"

Or, it may have been a "lunch box" knife.
But then I guess it would have been stamped before it was hardened and finish ground and sharpened.

As I recall, Johnny Cash was able to make a knife ... or something like that, buy smuggling parts out in his lunch box .... one piece at a time...

Here's a pretty rugged Puma, I like the way they secure the stag handles

Nice! I've become a Puma fan lately.
Looks like that one may have been made in Germany.

I have a few, Ooops that first one is not mine.
The Winchester has a 9" blade and is 14" overall.

David, I would forget about trying to haul off that big old Bowie knife ... ... after closer analysis of the picture with my sophisticated computer equipment, I noticed the makers mark stamped on the tang.... at a higher resolution it turns out that knife might not be worth the trouble strapping it to the top of your car....
