All About Pocket Knives

The Schrade Walden is a whole new way of acquiring knives for me. A first ever knife gift from the only one of ALL the nieces and nephews I have given knives to that wanted to give me one back. She knows exactly what kind of bone I like. Still can't believe a nine year old thinks like that.

Brass liners. Ten blades!!! All pinned at the same end. Several different styles of blades. I do not know the type of steel the blades are made of. Good snap on all ten. Hesitation at the halfway open/close position.IMG_4733.jpeg

I have seen one like it, at a barber shop in Fort Payne Alabama. It is made in Pakistan, and is a showpiece / conversation piece, not made to be used. The barber shop won't sell theirs to me, though.

That's a good one, Tom! I carried one of those for a long time. I don't think it left my pocket for about 5 years!

*Tom Barminski was a renowned knife maker from Loveland, Colorado, known for his custom fixed blade knives made from D2 tool steel. His knives are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike. Unfortunately, Tom Barminski passed away in 2013, but his legacy lives on through his beautifully crafted knives, which can still be found in various shops and collections.

How’s that fit your grip, I’m yet to find one the fits my hand besides the ones I’ve notched myself.

May be duplicates from knives in previous post- just went back thru photos the last couple months, since my last post of newly acquired knives.


Note #2 — first picture top right Classic 91 pattern is only new one recently gotten.

First, a 6 3/4" RC Blades Tanasi River Tear-Drop slip-joint with a D2 single spear-point blade and outstanding dyed blue covers. There is NO apparent brass on this baby, only NS and steel. Did you hear that, Mark, NO brass!WIN_20240910_16_41_26_Pro.jpgWIN_20240910_16_40_59_Pro.jpgThen there's this 5" RC Blades Awanata slip-joint with a D2 steel Wharncliffe blade and black G-10 covers accompanied by an integrated lanyard loop. Has quite a strong pull, and keep your fingers clear of the closing blade to avoid losing any, although, it does have a half-stop. Sent as a gift from Tony!WIN_20240910_16_42_18_Pro.jpgWIN_20240910_16_42_00_Pro.jpgThis final knife is the one that really caught my attention, and it's a Begg Knives brand BG037 slip-joint with a Sandvik SS blade, black G-10 covers that include an arrow head shield on both sides, SS bolsters and liners, and smooth action opening/closing with a half-stop. Tony compares this knife as on par with RR Reserve and RoseCraft Blades knives.
