All About Pocket Knives

Nice finds everyone!

Just picked up this A. Wright & Son, Sheffield.

Beautiful wood on that, Tom!

I agree, and it looks to have seen little use. Well done, Tom!

Nice looking knife Tom, It looks like it would be a easy carry. What is the closed length?

Thanks guys! Appreciate it!

Comes from a collector Dan, should be mint.

That's gorgeous Tom! The right color, the right blade, the right knife!

Thanks gentlemen! Been trying to buy less knives but better knives. Now that I've been around here for a few years I've figured out what I like a lot & also what I don't like as much. Biggest problem over here is finding knives you reallllllly like that are not overpriced. Usually, if I reallllllly want a knife, everybody else wants it too and I can't hang with the big boys as far as spending goes. I got this one for €57 shipped. That's not at all cheap for me. In fact, 9-x out of 10, I won't spend more than €50 for a knife cause that's just my personal limit. I knew I wouldn't get this one for under €50 shipped so I went over my normal limit & bid €60 & got lucky IMO. Don't know what this one might be worth in the states but I feel like I did OK on it. Not cheap IMO, but fair. I guess. I think, on a good day for sellers, this one could have went for €70-80+ over here. Of course, this one will go in my showcase but I'll know it's there and I will enjoy looking at it from time to time. And who knows, maybe someone will put a nice Case Tadpole with bone handles up for trade some day & I can get it with a pretty knife like this one.(Or a couple of them.) Never say never right? It could happen.

Add: I just never read the trade threads so with my luck, I'll miss seeing it till it's already over & done.

Anyways, thanks for looking & commenting, everyone enjoys posative feed back.

Just curious, Tom. What is the average cost to ship a knife from the U.S. to you?

I think the last small package I recieved cost the shipper $24. But a lot of stuff often goes to my mom's house in MD, then she sends it to me whenever she feels like sending us a package. This could take up to 6-months but it does eventually get here.

Dang! Seems a lot for a small package. Sure runs up the cost of a knife, doesn’t it!

another find for my collection will soon be on the way (I have been searching for this one too!)

Thanks Phil! (Philco)


S.W. Cut, Limited Edition American Eagle Series Stockman circa 1976

The John Adams “death to oppressors” knife from the series of five honoring various Presidents

Oh and this little switchblade kit should be on the way soon…

Should be fun to assemble this little keychain-size switchblade

Includes instructions, thank goodness (hope they are in English)

Those are simple to assemble Jim, whether there's instructions or not.

For most of you, maybe… I’m bound to make it more difficult than it should be

Cool!!! That makes us knife--brothers. I don't think I ever got around to posting pictures of mine but they wouldn't differ much from the sellers pictures anyways. It's a nice one though.

Tom,
When you get a chance post some pictures of your knife. I am anxious to recieve mine.

Great knife Nev!
I've been watching those in that AAPK store too, but haven't pulled the trigger yet.
And how bout' the teriffic price, when I first saw it I thought it should be double that.
Can't wait to see your pictures when it arrives!

Beautiful knife and color Theo! I'm a big fan of coke-bottle/swell-center frames, although I prefer them with just 1 spear-point blade, but still, there's no denying how good yours looks!

VERY purdy, Theo!!
