All About Pocket Knives

Owd Wullie,

That's in great condition!

Here is a little fob knife that took another expert to identify. It's made by Gustav Felix. Might be low on the collectibility range, but it was quality made.

Interesting pull on that little spey shaped blade. Neat knife.

This is one of Bret's favorite MOP's. I know my camera skills need work...lol It is Rodgers, Cutlers to His Majesty.

Can you tell I like MOP's yet?

Another CATTARAUGUS with pink pearl handles and a broken spring in the scissors.

Great knives everyone. Here are two more mop multi-tools; one from Sheffield and one from Solingen.

I hadn't ever seen a rose MOP until this thread, now there are two pictured! I am going to have to tell Bret888 to leave the saltwater pearls in the jewelry store & be on the lookout for one of these.

Smiling-knife,

Those are outstanding!

I think that is a reflection from the camera

The blades are pink too

True, my wife loves 'em.

Knifegirl, there is NOTHING wrong with your camera skills.

KnifeGirl; Those are great.
You are approaching the calibre of one of the best pearl displays I've ever seen, Century of Pearls, which I saw at a show in Waterville, CT in 1997.

I do believe the creator/owner of that display is a sometime contributor to AAPK.

JackKnifeBen identified the knife above as "pink pearl". Is that not the case?

Charlie Noyes

i still say the handles are PINK PEARL

Much better pictures now

Yes, they certainly are pink.


Has anyone else noticed they are not pinned to the liners?

Very nice s-k

Thanks for the kind words, Charlie! I have actually many more pearl knives, but those are some of the best ones I have. I have lots more, but quite a few of them have cracks, etc. I will try to post pictures of them later.

Here is one more older lobster. No maker's mark ... just Sheffield England circa early 1900s s-k

That backside handle on the pink pearl knife looks like the drag-queen's lips logo from Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Here are a couple from the Relic pile.............

COOL! What's that name of the vertical relic in the second picture that looks like a double gunstock? I might have the name of that shape wrong?

Here's some relics of my own...

That would be a George Wostenholm IXL.

Check LVG- 4 page 243 for a similar one, mine has 2 blades, the one in the book has 4.

For lack of a better term, yes a double gunstock pattern

A few more...

Now....that's SWEET! I say it needs taken OUT of the relics bin!! LOL

The Champagne knife on the same page as the Wostenholm is what maker?

Here is a Wostenholm that first captured Bret's Sheffield heart... Alas, the main blade has been replaced. It is stamped "K.C. SEELBACH, CZECHOSLOVAKIA" It has worked liners, four blades, scissors, a corkscrew, tweezers, a pick & a nail file. The blade replacement appears to have been done a while ago. I can't imagine taking this knife apart to repair. Its so complex and the pearl was not cracked at all. The fixer had to be an expert, IMO... I haven't been able to find out any information on Seelbach. Anyone have any info?

That one is a William Elliot & Co. Germany

I already did, it`s the only one of these I have ever owned, parts or otherwise

How did you put the names of the knives in your pictures

I am not that computer literate

Very cool Geo W.
that ha scharacter for sure.
thanks for sharin it.

I have a Robeson four blade pearl handled double-ended gunstock around here somewhere. It's not in relic condition, but it was well used.

Them are great and interesting knives you guys and gals are showing off.
