All About Pocket Knives

Old John Watt Navy knife.

Pretty neat when one of the knives in your collection is on the cover and in the article of a knife magazine.

Easily one of my favorite knives in the collection.

That is neat John.
Cool knife too.

My latest rope knife.

Here's another English rope knife, totally unmarked, smooth bone handles.

I like smooth bones and curvy knives. Dimitri

Thanks Roger

Thanks Lyle


Anyone else have any?

Can't say exactly what this Queen City piece is. I always called it a "roper/coper". It may even be a reground hawk or half-hawk, judging by the flattened kick. My wife gave it to me for Christmas about 25 years ago. If anyone has an old Queen City catalog I'd appreciate any info on it. The bones are gorgeous. J.O'.

Back in October 2022, this pocket knife arrived in a group or lot of pocket knives that I bought. It now becomes my first example to be posted under this topic or thread. I did NOT buy the group or lot of pocket knives to obtain this particular pocket knife. But, it definitely turned out to be a keeper. It did get added to my general, "foreign born" pocket knife accumulation. It is a JAPAN, one blade, one tool (a marlin spike), one tang stamp, 4 3/8" closed (not including the bail), rigging, pattern or style of pocket knife. The main blade tang stamp says, "STAINLESS (over) STEEL (over) JAPAN" The main handle side says, "RIGGING-KNIFE" This is my first and only (so far), rigging, pattern or style of pocket knife. The bail unlocks the marlin spike. This pocket knife COULD POSSIBLY be a "VALOR" brand, rigging knife. Overall, this pocket knife is in VERY GOOD condition. It did NOT need any cleaning at all. I just wiped it off. I took some pictures and here it is.
Caption(s), if any, are on the BOTTOM of the corresponding picture(s).
