All About Pocket Knives

Very nice Ike, I know Lyle has some farmers jacks with the Schell's etch, hopefully he will chime in.

Thank you, Roger. Thank you, John.

Nice pair of Challenge knives Ike ... Not easy to find Farmer's Jacks and especially those made in CT despite the abundance of cutleries here in yesteryear...

Thank you, Lee.

3 1/4"

Somewhere around a hundred year old Challenge barehead spear/pen. Also a 1940s Pal Stockman.

Picked up this little metal handled pen a couple weeks ago.Blades were patina'd almost black. Also here is a pic of my easy open I've had for awhile.

Wonderful EZO. Just beautiful. Congrats.

You guys blew my socks off, those are some sweet knives! Great etch on that one, Ike.

A combination of luck, and having extra cash of which my wife has no knowledge!
I am past normal retirement age and still working. I have been in a serious buy/accumulate mode for a couple of years, and plan to continue for a couple more. I have been lucky to become aquainted with 3 or 4 sources handling quality knives. At some point, I will say no more and kick back and just enjoy what I have.
Thank you for your comments

You sure have been posting some beauties Ike, congratulations!

That may be, but I'm still eating your dust!

John has been sitting the bar pretty high.

Thanks guys, just added this unusual 3 5/8" Challenge gunstock, well worn but still very usable, managed to cut myself with the pen blade. Nicely pocket worn, looks to have been someone's favorite.

Nice knife!
