All About Pocket Knives

Carried this old Imperial Navy EO yesterday; made up a box by cutting pieces of cardboard to ship some knives with it, great, sharp old blades in this knife. Dropping it in my pocket again this morning - heading out to get my wife's car serviced.

Love the EO's I still have my GEC BF EO with me, I would post a pic but I'm sure everyone is sick of seeing it.

Nah Gino, one never tires of looking at a fine work of art......post it again.......I'll stare at it with envy!

These boys have had me thinkin' about the oldies for the past few days. Here's an oldie I decided to take for a walk today.



It's a Kent from the 1930's that belonged to my Grandpa.

Great looking Kent, I have a few But not that pattern and it looks to be in great shape too. Most importantly it was your grampas, that makes it that much more awesome! ::envy::

Not exactly did I 'Carry" it but an Imperial Ireland shell handle scout helped when working on the truck today. Be back at truck work tomorrow....

Hey Squatch, very cool that you have your grandpa's old knife, that is fantastic! I have that same knife, same handles, pins, bolsters, shield, blades... except mine doesn't have a tang stamp, and I always assumed it was a Colonial! What does it say below KENT on your gramp's knife?

now don't make fun LOL

No effin way I'd make fun of that! My name is NOT Obama!

After a shower from working on the truck I stuck this RR in my pocket.

I have this one with me tonight.

Nice S&M Gino! I'm headed to a family reunion up country today. I'll be carrying these two plus the SAK classic in my WP and the Gerber multi-plyers on my belt.

Today I am back to my GEC EO. Cant seem to stay away to long.

Here's one to go with yours, Ironmage. The best team I ever played for!

ironmage -- I can't think of anyone here who would make fun of that knife.

Never Forget.

This S&M Whittler is a big favorite of mine. I only carry it on Sundays around the house. It was mint when I bought it about 12 years ago but the very nice stag was dry and brittle. I knew if I dropped it it was sure to crack. Soaked it in mineral oil for a coupe of days. It came back smooth and beautiful. I believe it was made around 1980 but if any of you can give me a better time frame I'd appreciate it.

Great looking knife QS That shield looks great with those handles

Well I am gonna see if this 73 can drag me away from my EO for a while. I have this one with me today and the fact it locks is a major factor in me using it.

Wanted something ultra lite in my pocket: Case 059L known as Mini Buckhorn or some such:


(Need to get an updated pic. Maybe even the front side....)

Quick steel,

That schatt is gorgeous. Oh my!

Guys, y'all have some great knives. That lightweight case is a good looker.

Gino,

I have my first GEC blades coming this week thanks to big monk.

Tab,
you will love them I'm sure, Monk is a great guy and we have dealt with each other many times and I was very happy every single one of them. I cant wait to see them when you get em.

Hey guys, I'm posting this for TAB, he can't get to his computer to post the photo so here is his Sunday go to Meetin' kife from Texas by way of Kentucky!

He can chime in and tell you more about it, but here's what he sent me. It's a Case stainless peanut with mother of pearl scales from 2008. The best part was that it was given to him by his wife on their wedding day!!!!

A great knife with an awesome story from a first rate guy, enjoy fellers!

That is a PERTY little 'nut!

I haven't got any idea which knife is going into RFP this morning.

MAYBE Amber Case Medium Stock CV.... maybe not.

I received this little 3 1/2" Buck Creek stag whittler a few mos. back as a gift. I haven't carried it much. I did take it along on a recent camping trip and put it through the paces whittling big sticks into little ones and I must say it did it's job well. It gets and stays very sharp. After quite a bit of whittlin' the blades stayed tight and true. Overall it's a pretty solid little knife and has recived a spot in the rotation. The two back springs are tapered instead of the split design. The fit/finish and over all quality is a B+ IMO.

***EDIT*** I am fully aware of the asian influence on the Buck Creek line. I don't buy 'em but when they are gifted to ya you have to at least cut something with them and say thanks. The buyer/gifter had no idea of tha asian influence and who am I to put the kibash on good intensions

Cutty,

When are the tomatoes ready? Growing some early girls and romas here, got a little longer before they're ready. Nice looking blade.

Thanks to the colonel for posting my edc for Sunday. My iPhone won't let me post pics to aapk. Doh!

Picked some cherries, romas and jalapenos a few minutes ago. The early girls and beef steaks need another week or so. It's been so hot and dry here but theres nothin like home grown
