All About Pocket Knives

I picked up quite a few knives at an estate sale a couple weeks ago, and these two have turned out to be two of my favorites.

They are both marked 087PE. The yellow one is from 1040-64 I think, and the brown delrin one is from 1978. Both had quite a bit of tarnish, but they cleaned up okay and sharpened nicely.

These were the two cheapest knives I bought ($4.50 and $8.00) but I really like them. The size is nice for pocket carry, and they are both put together really well.

Here are three more little ones from the same estate sale.
A 6269 congress, a 92042 imitation pearl, and a 6233 small pen knife.
They were a bit easier to clean up. Not as much tarnish on these.

Here’s what my lovely wife got me, this Case/Bose cattle knife. I probably wouldn’t have picked abalone covers but now that I have it, I’m glad she chose it. The knife is a stunner, nearly perfect cosmetically, with great walk-and-talk. Abalone is a lot like pearl - difficult to take a picture representative of its real beauty.

It’s a Barlow and it’s got red Barnboard jigged bone, what other reasons do you need? It will go well with the purple Barnboard jigged bone Barlow I bought a couple of months ago.

This is a standard Texas Jack and it is just the right size. The seller had a "Make Offer" option so I did and bought this New Years Eve.

Been dying to post some pictures of my newest Case auction pick-ups. Got a Case 6383 from 1978, a 6380 from 1985, an XX pearl pen knife, a HAWG (as Mr. Blister would say) of a display knife from 1990 and a Case Bradford, PA 6294 Big Cigar jack. From the auction pictures I could tell the cigar had been cleaned and profiled but thought for sure it was a LP XX, maybe in red bone. Well, turns out to be some pretty sweet green bone. It does have a hairline pin crack on the left mark side handle but I really love this knife.
