All About Pocket Knives

You guys are packing some SWEET looking traditionals this week!


For me today is my (nearly) ever present Buck 110 and my GEC #86. The 86 is quickly becoming a favorite, so I’ve decided I need a second one so I can have one for show and one for go!

I have been known to do the same!

Two older than I am. A Camillus Cattle Knife c. 1930s to mid 1940s, & a #33 Easy Open Jack c. 1946 to 1950, both with carbon & bone:

Beautiful Knives Gentlemen!

I-Man those are both sweet looking knives!

I made an untypical midweek switch today.

I love this Stockman. It's stamped only with Stainless Steel. It has a long pull, swedge, half stops and beautiful bones IMO!
Of course I love my Purina stockman also!
And the Coast Jack knife is a pretty cool one too!
And the SAK is always with me.
Two "Pockets-Fulla-Joy"!

Thanks for looking friends!

Super selection!

Yes, indeed. It looks quite a lot like an Old Timer with black covers and a different name on the shield. Did Schrade manufacture it under contract?

Some good looking blades everyone is pocketing today. I'm just beating around today, so carrying a Sitvien clip flipper in black, and a Denim Blue Lord & Field Micarta single blade.

The Jack is really sweet. Looks like it has been both extensively used and well cared for.

A custom hand forged fixed blade and a rigger's knife.

That fixed blade looks like it could get the job done.

Thanks Smitty, I drew out the design and had it made by a smith I know and bought it without handles and I just put a para-cord wrap on the handle as it is one of my "hard-use" knives and no need to be "purtty"

Thanks Dan! Good question. I have see Cost knives stamped with Taiwan, Ireland and a couple of other places I can't remember. So your guess is as good as any.

Wait! Why don't I just look at the stamp? (Senior Moment)

Here ya go. Ireland Didn't Imperial belong to Schrade? They produced in Ireland for a while. Might very well be an Imperial/Schrade production.

COAST PORT. USA ( for Portland )is stamped on the front of the main blade & IRELAND on the back of it.
