Am toting this old short line #12 today .

A great looking #12!!! I just got out my trusty little # 41 to put a little oil on it and I think I will take it out tomorrow for a spin....

This little Case doesn't usually work the night shift.
Of course, the Buck steps in for the heavy lifting ....

Great looking knives everyone! I always enjoy seeing them all!

Inexpensive maybe, totally cool definitely! I like the unusual clip blade and engraving on this one Garry, not to mention the nice bright yellow!

[Quick Steel]

I see the yellow tint. Unfortunately the handle is white, but as I look at it maybe it is on the edge of yellow. Lighting and lenses can create a distorted impression especially if the photographer (moi) is clueless.

[Madmarco]

Perhaps it's just how it looks on my screen, which is banana yellow. Yellow/white, who cares, it's a good lookn' user!

Boker #7474 Stockman with carbon & bone

Nice Stockman geo!

Nice Stockman geo!

Thank you, David. For some reason I believe it was made between 1965 & 1975. Maybe the seller told me that. It’s been a struggle lately to see if it or a Case #6392 gets in my pocket. That’s the kind of struggle I can live with.

Your 92 that I have seen is hard to beat but that Boker is a mighty fine piece of cutlery. You got a few pockets, no sense in struggling, carry both of them dandies!!

Here is my little Buck 505 which I bought around 1970 and, as you can see, I have used it it extensively over the years. It still locks up solid and has snap when closing it. The second knife is a Buck USA linerlock which I bought last week. I an anxious to see if it performs as well as the 505.... although I won't live long enough to give it 50 years of use .

You can't go wrong with a Buck! I have had several different models for years and got lot's of hard use out them. Great knives! Thanks for the post.

Looking at some of the Camillus knives being posted got me looking through my old knife boxes and pulling out some of them and getting a few back in my pockets, on my belt and back to work! Today I have a 72, a 14 and a 41. The 41 fits nicely in the "5th Pocket".

Nice! I have the 75, which appears to be on the same frame as the 41. It too, despite being a Cattle Knife, is a very fifth-pocket friendly knife.

Thanks woodwalker. They are both relatively new to me & I usually lay one down when I pick up the other. But, sometimes I end up with both, & several more in my jeans. My wife gets a chuckle when I pull out four or five knives.

Ain't it rewarding to carry a knife for fifty years? That says a lot about a knife. I've only got two pocketknives I've held onto for that long. I wish I had kept a few more. I'm trying to make up for it now. No way I'll make it another fifty years but my godson might get a nice little pile to start him down that road...

Thanks! Hmmm... Camillus 3 Blade Stockman #75 Knife... I am going to look and see if I have one in the "shoe-box stash" I put a lot of knives away after moving and never unpacked them . I am hoping I find a #75 somewhere . I cut up a lot of boxes, carpet, awnings at work and wear out the fine edge on my larger EDC pocket knife so having a "back-up''' or two or three, is great when I need a sharp edge on short notice.

Thanx Papabones Reverand how do you like that trigger??What kind of improvement over the original?DM the 310 is one of my favorite watch pocket knives.Queen today.

I bought the Ruger new with the factory upgraded trigger. I have never fired one with the older plastic trigger, but I imagine that this one is an improvement. You will never win a marksmanship award with an LCP, but it is very handy in a dangerous situation. Much better than the large-caliber weapon that you leave in the truck!
I occasionally have to work on outdoor ATM's, and have not needed it. But I would much rather have it and never need it, as to need it and not have it.

AG Russell Featherlite Onehand (clip point, AUS-8), a 100 year old pocket tool, and Knipex 140mm Combination Pliers. Didn't need much, as I had my toolbox to remove an old satellite dish and disassemble an old yard swing which the arms had rotted off.

Also, a Kershaw A-100.

Normally, I do NOT carry the old pocket tool. For the 4-5 months I've had it, it has been in a display case. However, I misplaced the coat a modern take on this tool was in, and had to get this one out. It is thinner (but just as strong, and easier carried in a pocket), a better wrench (due to sharper teeth on the alligator wrench, and being longer as well as open-ended), and is a better pry tool as well. Has more features. The wrenches don't go up to a larger size as the newer tool (PocketWrench II), but I get more leverage with the design. The company being advertised went out of business in 1923, so I presume this to be pre-WWI. Used this guy a lot taking down the old swing and satellite dish. Being so thin, and narrower than my adjustable wrenches, it fit where the 3/8 Blackhawk ratchet and 6" Crescent USA adjustable would not. Hard to believe that most of the one-piece pocket tools on the market today are gimmicky junk not worth plopping down the as much as $50-100 people are asking, and this century-old relic is laid out the best I have ever seen. I just don't carry it because I can't find another. Apparently, though, at one point, they were common advertising items with several company names being found. But, those company names are usually the only markings.

I am going to mess around with some CAD software on my PC, and see if I can't update this one into the modern-day, and have Shapeways 3D print a modern version. My plans are to slightly enlarge it to the point the Prestolite Key can be replaced with a 1/4 driver, but that's about the only change I see. The larger opening in the middle I do believe is a butterfly wrench.

Thanks Marco, the old Voos is rock solid, smooth action, sweet snap, good looking bones. Check them out and if you can find one think you'll like it.
