All About Pocket Knives

Queen

Schrade Walden 204/Jeffinn Custom.

Started life as an electrician's knife, but was cut down to Barlow-size (actually a little smaller), given Sunset Amber bone handles, and a Federal Shield, plus nickel silver bolsters.

It's some of his early work, but it still exhibits better quality than my Schrade-made electrician knives.

Is corrosion a problem with your knives in that environment?

I'm very careful with carbon steel and even with stainless I have trouble from time to time. Have seen rust on my m390 before!

Nice ones David. What is the story behind the name "bunny knife"? I see that it's the forum knife for Bladeforums...

R&T, I always find photos with mist, fog, or ocean very appealing. Your first (top) photo is a great example. I think the MOP knife is perfectly set off by the atmospherics of the shot.

Working in the woods today.

Thank you!

Colonel26, I enjoy snubbies. I think they are more practical than many people realize. Any caliber can be useful, from .22 up the line.
May I ask which caliber you carry?

Allways nice to see a snubby Knice knives too

Here's a pic of the label on the GEC tube. Charlies pic. It tells the story.

Got it, thanks for posting.

Great looking knife. I know what you mean and agree. Something about the pattern that rocks. And of course Case cancelled it, put it in the vault or whatever. But I echo everything you said and Amen.


Got a relatively old Tidioute Eureka Jack today, and a definitely old Schrade Walden Trapper with me: Clip, Spear, coping, pen. The Schrade is just because it's pretty. The GEC because it's a favorite to use. Happy new year all and hope it's a good one.

It’s a Taurus 942 9 shot 22. It’s what I tote in the woods when working or in the glove box. There’s not really anything in our woods that might need shooting that a 22 wouldn’t take care of, generally.

Don’t let its short barrel fool you. It has adjustable sights and at 15 yards you can spin those 22 spinner targets off handed with boring regularity. And they won’t break the bank either!

After going to a gun show and seeing what they wanted for a S&W 65 like mine, I hate to pack it around on the tractor!

I thought I had already posted this new Spyderco Salt II but can't find where I did. Anyway I did carry and use this today.

I really like a sheepsfoot blade, as you have somewhat of a point without having an overly acute point that could damage something or injure human or animal accidentally when cutting around them. However, the tip's not enough, which is why I tend to gravitate towards the Lambsfoot pattern. I think the Pacific Salt is probably the best "sheepsfoot" design, thus one is probably in my near future.

Leatherman Fuse
Colonial Ranger LB-95 Trailblazer
Rigid Japan RG-24
Imperial USA Barlow (most of these have just been sharpening practice knives, but I have 5 backups, so I figure this will be my go-to pocketknife, as I already have a ton of spares)
CountyComm 4" Titanum "Widgy" pry bar (the lanyard hole also works great for tying posts to fencing using brace wire)
Latshaw Tool PocketWrench II
Knipex 125mm Cobra pliers (strongest little pliers they make)
