All About Pocket Knives

ever watch "HOW IT'S MADE" ?

the blades are run through an automated grind an polish machine...
one blade at a time is grabbed and sent flying through a series or rollers...one atop the other...like an hand operated washing machine.

JohnnieR -- I consider them 'shells' because the bolsters are hollow and attached with tabs.


gringo -- I've never seen that. That explains a lot. Thanks.

Here is my trade day find from over in Lichfield, KY. I took this Erick pick while I was still there. It's a Hen and Rooster Solingen, Germany 4 in sow belly Stockman with green jigged bone scales. It's a 25th anniversary made for smkw, and has smkw name stamped in the secondary blade.

It's got great snap and half stops, it's really sharp, and all together pretty!

Hmmm...never thought of it that way. ...every time I think of Shells...I think of handles.

Colonel26....nice H&R sowbelly.

Yeah, the one I posted the pic of has handles held on by tabs too. It sort of looks like saw cut delrin but is WAY too shiny!

Got this one in from Scott yesterday.. ....Thanks Bro!!

Nice one, Johnnie.

Thank ya Dave.

Nice knives Johnnie and Colonel

Tim

Bought a couple from the Schatt & Morgan Keystone Series off Clarence Risner on Sunday and they showed up yesterday. Good service.

S&M 043 176 Series X~2000 Swell Center Whittler - Woodland Root Beer Jigged Bone

S&M 042 429 Series XVIII~2008 English Jack - Worm Grooved Jigged Bone

Jerry..I love the handles on that whittler

The mailman just dropped off a nice Robert Klaas sleeveboard,

And a fish wacker

Tim

And an auto-magic fish whacker at that. Tim, I think that nob is more of a counter weight for the scale than it is a whacker. Maybe it serves both purposes. What do I know, I've never held one in my hands.

Cool knives. Good pickup.

Very nice knives everyone

Tim I think u would do better with a baseball bat to wack fish(or thats ho mobsters dun it) than useing that knife so send it to ky All kidding aside Tim very nice knives

Excellent knives, Tim! My collection of fishing knives won't be complete until I get me one of those whackers!

WB

I think i'll pack the sleeveboard for awhile

Holy smokes Cutty, that Furtaker is right up my alley, two of my favorite blade shapes, and wood handles! What's the closed length on that one? Looks like a great carry knife.
