All About Pocket Knives

Tf.. Deep canyon bone and yes on the mini-copperhead!!

That is a niceun for sure!! John

This Old Hickory (Ontario Knife - Queen) came in the mail this past week, finally got a chance to take a photo of it. Looks to be brand new, polished stainless steel and woodgrain Delrin handles. This is my first easy open design, been wanting one and I like the feature now that I have had a chance to play with it a little.

Four this week.

Camillus #80 - Deluxe Carpenters Whittler w/milled liners (I guess that's what makes it deluxe) and all Nickle Silver metal parts except the blades.
Camillus #70 - 1960 to 1976 Sword Brand Hiker (think mini-72,)
Jensen Tools Inc. TL-29 I got for 99 cents. Anyone have a guess who might have made it?
Camillus #72 - 1960 to 1976 that had a badly dented shield and a bent coping blade that I broke trying to straighten it (I almost had it and then I did something stupid) Anyone have a coping blade for a #72?

Jerry, your Jenson looks virtually identical to a Colonial Electricians knife I own (same shapes and cuts in the blades, the same sawcut pattern Delrin handles, location and spacing of the pins, etc.). I don't have a date of MFG on it because I bought it used. I also compared the picture of your Jenson to my Camillus 27 - too different to be the same knife.

Thanks Paul, Nice knives everyone

Colonel, I forgot to add that just from the way it's built, Imperial popped into my mind every time I looked at it but I think you're closer with Colonial. I kept expecting the handles and bolsters to be shell even though I know they're not. No one bothered to finish the back of the knife which, from what I've seen, is typical Colonial. Save a buck where ever you can.

Edit: Just compared the screwdriver blade to a Colonial and an Imperial on eBay and the Jensen is a Colonial. That big deep dip at the choil is a dead give away. So pat yourself on the back. You were right.

My ship came in yesterday afternoon! The Mother Load of Shells!

This is a collection of shell handles that Iron Hoarder has been picking up for me!
Thanks Iron Hoarder!

The majority of are Richards Sheffield. The remainder of them are all European, such as
Imperial England, Jowika Ireland, Sheffield, Germany and "Foreign" stamped.
Even got a counter card with NOS Richards gent's knives!

I'm in shell heaven!!!!

I've sure got my work cut out for me - sorting um all out!

..... Joe

Must have shipped that in a five yard container. The shipping from England would be more than the total value of the knives.

Did somebody get the tag off that ship?

Knice score bro-ham! You gotcher work cut out for ya now!!

^^^ is the sort of problem I only WISH I had!

GREAT SCORE!!

Incredible haul, Joe!

DANG Joe! He really came thru for ya! International Shellers!

Here's one that got by the folks at eBay: an H. Boker & Co's ivory budding knife. As you can see it has a few condition issues, but it's still a solid knife imho.

Nice find! great old ivory

I don't see any condition issues That knife it looks great That is the wayI wish all of mine looked "Correct" Hang on to that one a wondeful Boker... BH

Thanks, guys. I'll definitely hold on to it for quite a while. I know how lucky I was to get it.

My mail carrier was very nice to me today, she delivered these three: Camillus Jack, Camillus Equal End, and Craftsman Small Stockman.

My postman today was my Father-in-law!! He found these in his attic and thought I might want them Thanks Dad!

Both Case XX 2000 SS 1st in ivory jigged bone, 2nd black jigged bone. I'm lovin' it!!

What a great gift, congrats!

Nice haul guys!

Very nice Rocky Excuse me while i go check my attic.

I just had 10 pages of catch-up to do, looks like the mailman has been good to everyone.

Here's my recent arrivals. Up til now I didn't have any Case pruners, now I have 3. Could the one XX be green bone? It looks way different than the other XX. Also, that thick worm-grooved bone on the cleaned Tested is pretty amazing. I'll post some more pictures of them in the Case forum.







I was sweating it on the two pearls, thought maybe there might be pin cracks but they're crack free. The plain bolstered is a Cattaraugus 22163C and the flowered bolster pen is a Hibbard Spencer Bartlett & Co. OVB. I think the bolsters are aluminum and I've never seen bolsters decorated like that before.

Super Sweet..RR. ...I would call the pruner in question...Green Bone. very odd jigging & thickness...do you think it may have been re-handled?
That Catt is also very nice....you done real good.
