All About Pocket Knives

today

Here is a pic of that China Buck 382 I have (and is in pocket right now)

PLEASE show the insde of the watch please

Been carrying this Japanese Sears Craftsman Trapper today; stainless steel, same length as the Case Mini-Trapper, but heavy like the standard length trapper - good weight/length combination in my opinion. Spent four hours doing yard work, hot and humid, so a SS knife in my pocket makes sense. today.

Charlie I love your photo set up, great looking peanut!

Glad you like it ironman. Its even more impressive in the hand. I love it! QS

Great looking knives guys! Since I have been sorting through my collection as I sell a bunch I came across what is most likely my all time favorite knife, the Buck 110
I have a few dozen of these ranging from the 60's to last year (my kids get me one every year for either fathers day, my b-day or Christmas). I have real MOP handled ones, nickel silver bolster and liner ones, engraved bolstered ones, finger grooved ones, etc... The only problem is that its just to darn big and heavy for a EDC, I even have expensive handmade sheaths for some but its just too darn heavy for a EDC and I am a big guy even. I love them none the less and it just might be a part of my collection that I do hang on to.
I am still carrying my GEC EO. It just cant be beat for what I need in a EDC, IN MY MIND anyway
Sorry for the rambling but I guess I am just getting bummed out having to sell a good portion of my knives.

Gino, there's many things we hate to lose or let go of but we can be thankful for what time we had them, if you know what I mean.

The old Colonial Jack will go to church today.

This little Case is getting Sunday Go To Meetin' vest pocket duty this week.

This Camillus is in my pocket!

Among other knives, this knockabout Utica Barlow has been with me for the past 10 hours. (Work nights.) QS

Very clever QS I like it!

I feel like my Grandpa today. I need a calming influence as I must go fight with the office about bounced pay checks....

So I put Grandpa's Schrade Old Timer 80T in my pocket. Clip is about 1/4' short and Spey don't EVEN resemble a Spey. Walk and talk on the clip is lazy, but the Sheep and Spey snap with authority!

I'll try to come back and put a picture up. If I do it before 8-10 hours pass that AIN'T good!

Best of luck Dave, hope all goes well.

I've been exercising some of my oldies too. Today I'm packin' this one....

Today I'm going with a Schrade in my empty left pocket to show off and a Case or two,one back and one front right to use.

OOOOOOOOOO.........I like that old Case canoe! How many dots?

Ya might be on the right track Charlie??? This is a rare knife, Case XX U.S.A. 62131 Circa Jan.1st,1966 No dots on this one ! According to Steve's and other books, this may have been a pilot run from1964-1965. Bought it early this year from a lady near me who was selling off her husband's Case collection,(valued over $45,000.00)he passed away in 2010 from a long illness. I still buy from her today. Rocky

I'm not much on Schrades, Squirrel but I'm liken' that one. That's a great looking knife.

Just got this new Bear&Son in the mail today and it is fast becoming a favorite EDC knife.

Phillip, that Bear is a fine looking Barlow. You remind me that I need to own a Bear product - best start looking around - got to support our USA makers.

Nice B&S barlow Phillip

I have several B&S/MGC, trappers and stockman patterns in bone and stag. I need to get a barlow. I am in the process of getting one of each in the genuine india stag line, when the price is right. Not sure if they are investment knives but i don't really care, i like 'em and edc an early 4" stockman.

They have a new 4 1/2" big stogie whittler that looks sweeeet. Just waiting to get a deal on one.

This is one of my favorite trappers. Bear MGC.

Story on the bounced checks was the Boss was away for two weeks and things got out of hand.

Still no picture of Grandpa's 80T worth spit. But I will get one taken eventually....

Hope the boss is back and so is your money, Dave. Things like that can create serious problems for the workin' man in the economy we have right now!

Meanwhile, since we've been talking about Bear MGC..........here's a pic of my "Sunday go to meeting" Bear.....pearl handled peanut:
