All About Pocket Knives

Great knife knife7knut, I can see why you would buy it. Your second picture is especially nice. Just a nice photograph.
What a nice shield and it really shows off the bone scales.
Milled liners......whoda thunk it. Nice stamp too.

The catalog I have lists the handle material on these as Stag.

All the ones I have seen are that hard rubber L.F. & C. is well known for using on their pocket knives.

Are you sure it is bone? Some of the hard rubber is a brownish color instead of black, so it can deceive you if you don`t look close

Very nice old scout, well worth the money

K7K if you start having second thoughts about that purchase, I'll gladly give you your money back for it. The etch on that spear blade is worth more than that to me.
I'll keep an eye out for a parts knife for you.

Are you sure it is bone?

You are right Dimitri;it is stag! I took a second look under a 10x loupe and the grooving is natural and not machine induced.I have never seen stag that color before.I knew it wasn't hard rubber as it passed the rub and smell test.Thanks for the input on that.

Phil;you just might wind up with it.I'm looking through my Western stuff to see if I can find a back spring blank that can be modified to fit.

Original and reproduction Remingtons.

Very nice Wazu Gotta love those Remington scouts.

Not a scout knife, but a nice old Schrade Cut with peachseed handles:

very nice thawk

Very nice knife with some beautiful handles. Like it a lot That old jigged bone is as nice as any stag, no back seat for that baby!

here is a unusual one I picked up this weekend.
The only marking is on the main tang "made in Germany"

Nice knife Gino. Is the corkscrew a little unusual for that knife??

Hal,
They don't get any nicer than that peach seed camper!
I think that is THE FINEST example I have seen of that pattern!
WHAT A BEAUTY!!

Beautiful Schrade..


Gino...I believe yours was made by Swan Works.....cool scales.

Not for German Boy Scouts.

WOW!! I didn't know beer bottles had corks. Man I've got to get out of the house once-in-a-while

Hey! In spite of their reputation, the Germans don't just drink beer.

In fact, to get serious for a moment, they're about 23rd down on the list of nations, compiled by average quantity of alcohol consumed per capita by individuals over the age of 15.

The amazing part? The U.S. is waaay down on the list.

These patterns were on a site that my Wife sales stuff on........I thought they were cool. ...if ya can't see it,they're Ulsters.
Think I will buy one......they're only $2.75.

Here is a CaseXX pattern that I have been trying to get for some time now. ...Thanks to Phil...I gots one!!

Forgot about this one...Cattaraugus Model #D2589B......Thanks Paul!!

Picked this one up today from a Friend.....its a 1940-64 era....I love it.
