All About Pocket Knives

This 5-blade Case peanut:

WOW...SWEET lil peanut!!!!!
was that a yard sale find today?????

Nah it was from an online auction.

I hope that counts?

I know it's not a knife but folks use letter openers like knives and I couldn't turn this one down today when I saw it at an estate sale....

Neat find Scott.

Can you tell for sure what the handle material is ?

I believe it reads PEWTER Phil.

NICE SNAGS FELLERS

SWOOPED N SCOOPED ON THIS OLD SCHRADE WALDEN ..................

WAS IN A LIL 2ND HAND STORE IN EXETER,CA .....A SMALL TOWN EAST OF US,GUY HAD SOME COOL STUFF....AND 20% OFF


SCHRADE 186 HAWKBILL PRUNER ......
( anybody know actual name schrade called it????also ,is the wood cocoabolo??ebony??age??? )


>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>untouched as found<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Beautiful old knife, JB. Pruning .... horticulture knife?? I'm going with Rosewood on the handle.
Hasn't been used much, maybe sharpened a little.

The Schrade Catalog listed it as "Large Pruning Knife" and the handle as Cocobolo.
Later in the 1978 catalog they were listed as "Pruner" and no specific handle material listed though it appears to be wood in the drawing.

With a cross use as a linoleum knife.

THANK YOU GUYS VERY MUCH , FOR YOUR TIME AND HELP!

Garage sale finds. Because they were there

AWESOME SNAGS,BRO!!

LOVEIN' THAT PETE ROSE

Hmmm..didn't know there was a Case 5 Blade peanut..cool!

Here's a Imperial Scout I came across at the Flea market.
Can't see it in the pics but still has the Etching,it's light but there.

Nice one Catt Man. There are a couple of variations of that knife. One has a large caplifter blade the other has a much smaller one. I have one with the large caplifter in my EDC (now and then) box. The steel in those old Imperials is excellent.

Thanks Phil,it is a very well made Imperial,it's almost a shame they made the cheaper shell Knives.
But they sold a lot of them!
I'll have to look as I may some some other ones.

Hit the snow storm flea market today and gut a Camillus riggers knife and what I thought was s lb-5 but afta cleaning her I had a Schrade SCM5 FOR L.L.Bean.

Hi Garddogg, before I started collecting Schrade knives; I was a Motor Mechanic.
I still have a strong interest in Cars; can you send me some information on that new Ford?
Ford has been selling the Falcon in Australia, since 1960 and thay are stopping manufacturing next year.
Ford will import their cars from the USA, like the Mustang. Ken

I'm glad to hear that Ford is exporting to you guys what kind of info U looking for???this is the first time since the 80's that I got a new Ford,and reason being they are the only one of the Big three that didn't need to be bailed out by the goverment of the U$. they are still making the Falcon????

Cat; I hope your not looking for work not much industry left in this state and taxes are UNREAL My brother lived in Belfast before getting work in N.Dakota.

Actually no,I'm on disability,but I know what you mean,sure aren't many good Jobs to be had.
I did live in Rockland a couple years ago for a time.
My Son in law is a Lobsterman out of Lincolnville.
Taxes suck here in PA as well.

North Dakota is a big change from Maine eh?

So I stop at a garage sale and ask......."any old knives?"
Guy replies yes.....in this tub. I watch as he pulls the strings of Christmas lights from the tub and there are these 2 at the bottom...

Nice..that Forgecraft looks a lot like an Old Hickory.
