All About Pocket Knives

One more from my favorite models. The world-famous manufacturer Petko Denev, town of Gabrovo, from the 60s of the 20th century.

I like those classic, traditional workhorses. Pretty blonde wood too. Thats an era I like too, great years for knife making.

This one came today.

I'm curious what the "controversy" is about this knife? It may look whimsical but it appears to be fully functional and ideally suited to its supposed intended purpose: a weenie roast barbecue picnic. I like it.

Is it an automatic or is the button only a blade lock?

It’s actually a Boker Kalashnikov. It’s the Trump of knives. Love it or hate it. Apparently there is no middle ground.

That's a beautiful knife, Eustace, and I have a solution for where to put it, you can send it to me! lol!
Some really nice knives you have in that pouch, thanks for showing them!

I like those Remington bullet knives! You got a good looking one there, Dan!

Just received my newest Etsy purchase, two nice Camco advertising knives.

I picked up this Buck 305 (72' - 86' )...

The bad news is that if you buy a new case.... all spaces except for ONE spot will be empty .... and therefore, will NEED to be filled

I picked up a few Doc Hagen Knives! Anyone know what they are made of or value?

Welcome to the forum Colagirl. You can do a Google search for "Doc Hagan Knives" and find several websites with them. Attached below is a link to the Arizona Custom Knives and Nordicknives websites with many examples of Doc Hagan knives (7 pages on ACK). You can click on each knife for more information on that knife. It looks like a lot of his single blade knives on these sites are "Bare Head" (A pocketknife without bolsters on the cap end) and don't look too much like your knives.

I know nothing about these other than from this limited research and these don't look like what I'm seeing on those sites, but hopefully your knives are legit.

That's a great little knife, G-351, and it's a style I watch for regularly, a canoe body with a single spear-point blade, perfect for my taste!
I've bought a few knives from Etsy, they occasionally list some cool knives, nice catch!

It is a surprisingly good little knife when compared to most of the current souvenir knives available. But I'm learning that souvenir/advertising knives from the 50s and 60s have the potential of being quality built knives. Stay sellers, for the most part, seem to be very proud of some questionable knives, but there are decent deals to be found if you look long enough.

Case Medium Stockman and Case Peanut just arrived! Both in Amber Bone. Post pics later.

This beautiful knife is you all over, ~Q~, and it sure looks good on you!

Outside waiting for the eclipse decided to take a few pictures of my favorite things while the sun is still shining..Fresh Arkansas strawberries and bone handled knifes .

Wonderful strawberries and even better bones.
