All About Pocket Knives

Beautiful knife, Wade.

Tony, that's a real clean looking post-1976 long line. (1976 was the last year they pinned the handles on.) Feels good to get one in factory condition and from the sellers picture, it looks like that one is.

I'm a little tea pot, short and stout. Looks just your style Cuz.

This ones pretty nice I got it from Ray (paladin), he's a top notch guy.

Tony, that 72 is real nice.

Paul that schrade is some kinda pretty.

Due to arrive today 'Out for Delivery' I was lucky enough to win the bid on this very cool old SF knife. Since I now live in this old city -
I was attracted to this old knife. Looking forward to seeing how it really is.

Sellers pics and description:

ANTIQUE JS HOLLER & CO SAN FRANCISCO POCKET KNIFE - 3 3/8" closed. Used, sharpened condition. Vintage 1867 to 1906. Nice horn handles with no cracks or chips. Shows signs of normal pocket wear. Has unusual serpentine shield. All blades stamped J.S. HOLLER & CO A BLAICH SAN FRANCISCO on front and RAZOR STEEL GERMANY with Arrow inside an Oval logo on back. Blades have good snap with no side to side play. This knife has been lightly cleaned by a previous owner. An unusual whittler well over 100 years old.

That right there is the catch of the day. What a beauty.

That's a real nice old knife. Very interesting.

My big ol Congress is at the house waiting for me! In other news, my mother-in-law is coming up tonight to spend he weekend with us. Oh well, at least I'll have something to occupy me and keep me out of the way!

I got the winning bid on this schrade muskrat from our very own Scott. I've never had a muskrat of any kind, looking forward to trying it out and I'm always glad when I can support the members of this forum.

I saw this on Knives-plus and thought it looked pretty cool. 4 5/8 closed. She's on the way

Greg I like that big trapper


Scored the winning bid on this peachseed S-W 895. It looks like original unadulterated finish, unused and unsharpened. Beautiful dark red peachseed.

That Panama Trapper looks pretty good Greg and they are a beast!

Have you seen those before Steve? that's the first time I've noticed that pattern.

I have 2 of them, an ebony handled one from the a SHOT show and a sawcut.

Ohhhh! That ebony is a ringer dinger. I guess I am going to have to start paying more attention to this new stuff.

A couple big fellers on the way...

Tracking says this one is in Rockford, so should be delivered today. This one only had to travel 100 miles (came from over by Joliet) but it's been wandering all over Northern Illinois for the past three days. Tracking says it left Oak Creek Wisconsin (the USPS feeder distribution center for Rockford) @ 4:23 AM this morning. Sooooo, shoulda, woulda, coulda, maybe it will get delivered today with the other one.

In transit......

Beautiful Winterbottom bone, Bruno? Is that a #14? I have one of that approximate age, but not in Winterbottom.

It's a slim trapper. 4 1/8". Pattern #24. I hope it's as good as it looks when I receive it.

BTW....just saw that you ordered a few GEC's. Post some pics when you receive them.

Here's a couple I got tonight. They are in the mail! Case tested era 84062K and Case XX 61048

Greg, that tested knife is nice. But that 48 pattern is beautiful! Wow.

Thanks Wade it's listed as rogers bone.

Those are definitely worthy of standing at the mailbox for 3 day waiting. Very nice Greg
