All About Pocket Knives

Thanks fellas

Already posted 'er to the bay.......sometimes I wish I had the money to "collect."

Usually referred to as a JPK 'Jet Pilot's Knife'. Mine is an Ontario from 1994. That was a good find Scott.

Scott, those are some bad boys. I've got one that I some how acquired/comshawed when I was one of Uncle Sam's Misguided Children back many moons ago. Don't remember details but it at Camp Lejeune.

Love that Camillus pilot knife.
Had one like it few years ago. Biggest mistake I ever made was selling it

Picked up a Channellock electrician's knife today. It's in a blister pack and there is a little rust on the spear. The screwdriver blade is clean. The tang stamp is the 1989-closing stamp, CAMILLUS over New York over U.S.A.
Who now makes this knife for Channellock, I notice it is still offered on their web site for $14.95?
Maybe this one will end up in Mr. Glenbad's operating room

sweet snag,BRO
sorry i dunno who makes em now
i do know there is another version....... baby blue scales, CHANNELLOCK etch on main, and SAMMY SWINDELL signature on scales.

Suhweeeet score TF!!

Found these this morning.....

Scott, those would make mighty fine bushcraft knives for your missions!

TF, that old electricians knife sure is neat. Glenn could make it even neater!

Josh, I've never seen one of those. It sure would be a dandy one to add to the collection.

Camillus Congress

....all three look like "old hickory" to me, I've all 3 plus several others, and I've been using them for years!!!.....you can't beat 'em!!.............. ...................

Wade........I know....I know. Every time I score one I think of reshaping it, but then, there's more money in it so I don't.

They are ALL Old Hickory's!!

I get it Scott. Those old Hickory knives sure did have some good metal in them.

JJ, that's a good looking old Camillus congress too. How long is it?

Johnj, beautiful Camillus Congress there.

QUALITY SNAGS, SCOTT n' JOHN

JohnJ that one punches ALL my buttons. I'd love to see a couple more pictures of that sweet congress.

There was a box on the table at the flea market and in it was a bunch of Pakistani/Chinese crap, probably 30 knives or so. Rootin' through the mess look what I found!
The little Queen stockman (no tang stamp) has seen better days but it'll clean up okay for an EDC.
The Case is a 6231 1/2 with full blades. I believe this is going to be a good one . It has the '65-'69 stamp.

EDIT: A little cleaning revealed 1 dot under the CASE XX over U.S.A. so it's a 1979 with delrin handles. It's still a good one but could have been better .

Nothing wrong with those knives, Philip, especially for packers.
How's the action on that Case?

Nice finds Phillip! I bet that Case will make a right fine user. Like that long pull too. Post a pic or two after you get her cleaned up.

Thanks for the comments fellers!
Joe, that Case is a real nail breaker. It has as strong a snap as any knife I've seen. It would literally bite you if you allowed the clip to close from the 1/2 stop on your finger. It took a great edge on both blades.
Mike, the delrin is oxidized to the point when I first saw it, I thought it had paint on the handles. From what I've read there from previous post here on AAPK, seems like there's not a lot that can be done for it. I'll fluff it up a little and post another picture of both knives in a few days.

Knice scores Philip!

Oh Ho, Private 'Y'. There is something you can do about it and it's easy peasy. Scrub those handles down with a rag saturated with light weight machine oil / household oil (Just a spot on the rag will do. It doesn't need to be the whole rag.) Once you've done a good scrubba-dub on it, wipe it dry and voila.

Here's a before and after comparison. The knife belongs to Meridian Mike.

TF those are real dandies. I especially like that Case. And while bone has that something. Special that not much else can match, I'm a big fan of delrin on a using knife. I predict you're gonna like it big time.

.....jerry, I have done this before, only I used mink oil and let it stand for several hours, then wiped it down, and it really made a difference!!...... .........................
