All About Pocket Knives

In 1994 he walked into my office and said here is your @#$%^& folder. I will post a photo here when I get home today. Since he passed on. I have been able to get a few more of his rigid blades and cherish them, as there will be no more.

I came across this article (I don't show the full article) Gun Digest Knives, 1973, on Warenski.

Ok, mine is a Bulldog Stockman, BKC#49, 1st Bulldog produced. Has the Winchester tang stamp and Pit Bulls Terrier etch, bone handles. This knife is in the books but I have never seen one and am not even sure that one exists. I have fished unsuccessfully for years to no avail.

Ive never seen that one either. I have had the smaller version BKC50A. Thats the only one Ive seen with the winchester stamp.

I just thought I need to add one more to my Holy Grail list. How about an original Michael Price bowie knife. Might as well wish big.

Im still new to this so not got a grail of such yet, but since the early 80's ive always wanted a lile #1 rambo knife, and i love randals, pocket knife wise i would love a case 4 blade congress in bone, a buckmaster is on my list as well and a stag handled 110 but im sure i will have a real grail soon

the m-1 SPRINGFIELD

he had the holy grail for 25 years, n never knew it!

that is sweet mate, i would love a 18 attack survival, or a 15 airman

just a quick comment, that Stag handled CASE. I know where one is at an antique store. He is asking like $2000 or so for it. But the store has a 20% of sale on regular occassions. I have considered it many times, but never pulled the trigger. If that is something someone is interested in, I can let you know privately where it can be bought.

I'm not a collector, just an accumulator, so I don't really have a Holy Grail Knife. I'd had a yen for a Puma White Hunter since the late '50s and finally got one a few years ago so that was one itch scratched. One of the guys in our hooch in VN had a Randall Mod. 1-7 which gave me the wannas. I could never afford one so I did the next best thing and bought a used Blackjack 1-7. There are several folders out there that would cross my doorstep if money were no object.

saaaaay, Jerry..... Both of those are nice
You've got a good idea there. That blackjack might just be close enough to scratch my Randall knife itch too.

Well, you better hurry Blue. The Model 1-7 whether it be one of the new Classics or an Effingham knife will set you back right at $200 and up. It doesn't seem like it's been that long since they could be had for just over $100. My how time flies. They're a darned good knife. In my opinion, (Dare I say it?) as good as a Randall.

I already had a Randall Mod. 8-4 Trout and Bird that I picked up in '78 or '79, so the Randall itch was already scratched for me.

hhmmmm.. one of these 3..,Beaver Falls cutlery pocket knife..ANY!
Catt Toenail or any Kinfolks pocket knife.

Maybe not a "Holy Grail" knife, but certainly one of my favorites is this pearl screw on handles by Miller Bros. It has beautiful pearl and does not appear to be used. I bought it about thirty years ago from Joe Lauderdale (Widow Creek Knives).

bear and son made damascus razor in mammoth ivory......smkw had it briefly but i cant find one now.

To many to list....

How about a mint set of NKCA knives? I bet there are some of you here who have them.

not a holy grail, but I haven't seen another one.....

case factory set

Very nice

I Guess this would be mine...

Wow....that has a awesome blade profile...

I need to have it appraised.

kblesuperman......just by looking.....I would say....A LOT!! ........and I don't even recognize the manufacturer!!

This is mine.

Jonnie its platts made case from what I have been told

Wow......it looks it.....I just didn't want to say anything because I wasn't for sure.
Thats one BEAUTIFUL knife!!
