All About Pocket Knives

...col., I like everything about that one except the color of the bone!!, I guess I'm old-fashioned, but jigged bone should be brown!!............ ..................

Tommy, that one is right up your alley. She's 3½" closed and has a split back spring but doesn't have the wedge shaped brass divider.

This one might tickle your fancy too. It's 3¾" closed and does have the wedge shaped brass separator.

Thanks for the kind words gentlemen. It's nice to know that others have the same tastes.

Cuz, when I croak, it's yours. I just put it in the will.

....that one does tickle me, jerry!!!....I've got one that's similar, it's a 2007 s & m, # 043176S, stag whittler, but is has the clip primary blade!!, stag on it looks identical to yours!! it doesn't have the wedge, however........ ..............

Well I appreciate that. But I'd just as soon you stick around for a long long time. And, there's a certain 8 year old who's going to be needing your guiding hand for a few more years down here.

If it's a 2007, it's a Series 17 and it's an 043 154 Dog Leg Whittler. 4" closed with "Keystone State Timeworn Red Jigged Bone" handles.

No immediate plans but it happens to all of us eventually. Have you ever watched the movie "Second Hand Lions" with Robert Duvall and Michael Caine?

Beautiful knives, Jerry.

Thanks Joe.

2007 Case Swell Center/Balloon Whittler 6383 Molasses Bone L.E. 5 3/4 open, 3 1/2 closed. Clip, clip, pen. Smooth action, tight lock up, nice snap, no wobbles. Nice carry, light and thin, decent looker, and fine EDC. Rounded ends for pocket comfort, fits the hand perfect, 3 blades to choose from.

...jerry, I could be wrong on the 2007 date, but it is a swell-center, like yours, only without the wedge!!........... ..................

Here's a Case Prime Stag Humpack Whittler that I own. This is the nicest one that I've ever seen. There are no rub marks on the blades and they are centered perfectly.

Got to be your "old timers" kicking in again.

043 176 isn't Stag

04 = Bone
3 = three blades
1 = clip main blade
76 = 3½" swell center frame

I tell ya what pal. This is a link to all 20 years of the Keystone Series. Rummage through them and see if you can find it. One year to a page, there is a "next" button at the bottom of each page that will take you to the next year. http://www.schattandmorgan.com/schatt-- ... ies-1.html

By golly, Jim. That is a stunner.

I love that movie! So do the boys. That's my goal for retirement, to be like those brothers. I tell my oldest two they already act like those guys.

Dickens, real nice half whittler!

......col, that's one of my favorite movies!!!..did you realize one of the guys that delivered the airplane was billy joe shaver????.......... .................

..o.k., jerry, I looked at all the keysone series and it's not listed, so I guess it's a standard production-run knife. the box is marked #043176-s&m-stag, and it is stag................... ................

Aren't you happy your brain is still working. I'm just tickled pink when my thinking machine turns over another revolution without locking up.

Now, if you just had one of those new-fangled picture taking boxes, you could show us just what it looks like.

........i'll have to dig thru my scrapbook and see if I can find a pitcher of it, my argus c3 is locked up ,plus I'm out of ektachrome!!!......... ...........................

..........I feel like a dummy, jerry. just opened up the display with that knife in it, and guess what??.......primary(unlike yours) is a clip blade-etch on the mark side says "schatt & morgan, underneath "1 of 100"-pile side is etched 2007,underneath #033176-box is marked #043176-bolsters on mine are squared and unlined, yours are slanted and lined!!............the box is not marked correctly!!!.................. .........................

Ah Hah. So it's in the wrong box. It's not part of the Keystone Series, Premier Series or the File & Wire Series. I can't find it in any of the lists I have access to but it doesn't matter since it's perfectly marked with the year and all the knifes pertinent information.

..jerry, I think I bought it off the old smkw knife show, but that was back in 2007, and I can't remember much from that far back!!!........... ....................
