All About Pocket Knives

Those are awesome, J'O., thanks for posting.

My pleasure. J.O'.

Found another one hiding among some Catts. 3-1/4", "MOTS", extra long thumbnail nick on the pen blade. Nice and tight. J.O'.

I just picked up this Challenge tool kit. What I really like is how they used a "Challenge Cutl. Co. Bridgeport Conn." tang stamp on the accompanying tools. I think the case is made out of pig skin, much like those old pocket knife purses.

That is a great looking tool kit with a very intact pouch from one of the country's best cutlers, in my opinion.
You got a beauty there Redrider.

Beautiful pair! They are both awesome, but that barehead is awesomer, imo.

Thanks, appreciate it. I loved it when I saw it and it has kept growing on me. Thanks again.

Missed mentioning how incredible that one is. Wowwweeeeee that is fine shape and color and full blades. What a knife. Congrats on scoring another champ.


Thanks much Millers Bro, appreciate the thumbs up too.

This pocket knife arrived very recently in a large group of pocket knives that I bought. I did NOT buy the group to obtain this particular pocket knife. However, I was quite pleased that it was in the group. It is a CHALLENGE, two blades, two tang stamps, 3" closed, pocket knife. Both blades have tang stamps. They both read "CHALLENGE - CUT. CO. - BRIDGEPORT - CONN." It is in EXCELLENT condition and it did NOT require any cleaning at all. I took some pictures and here it is.

Nice knife you have there.
Is that a little dog leg jack?

Thank you, Joe.
It does look like it is a dog leg pattern.

Good looking knife New Windsor. What are the scales? They almost look like some good wood grain. Beauty.

Thank you, Ivoryman.
I don't know what material the handles or scales are.
But, I do know that they are not made of any kind of wood.
I think that they may be celluloid, but I'm not sure.
Oh, my name is Skip.

Skip, you scored big time with that group of knives.

Thank you, Floyd.
So far, I'm VERY happy with the group.

Added a nice Challenge 3 7/8" Congress, all blades have nice deep tang stamps, does not look to have had much use.

Nice score JohnR, another beautiful piece of knife history and example of fabulous bone color. Congrats.

Another real beauty John
