All About Pocket Knives

treefarmer wrote:bighomer,
That one must have had a lot of pocket time with out ever being opened. Blade looks like there has been hardly any use but the handles are dinged up. I wish I'd found somethin' worth while today.
A Sod Buster is always a very practical knife in my way of thinkin'.

Farmer I doubt it's saw much pocket time I guessing its been rattling around in his box of sale knives for a while.

My computer has been down, it has worked for a while now. I wanted to know how tree farmer and buddie 22 are doing. Be safe,Prayers for Florida.

Hi, Harold; good to hear from you. Pesky computers! We have folk in Florida, also, and our thoughts and prayers go out to all in the South; it has been a rough year for lots of people.

This is one of a handful I picked up at the NCCA show yesterday. Alexander Coppel, Germany. Love the blade stamp!

Awesome knife Glen - the photos do it justice but since I saw the knife in hand yesterday I can attest to it being a beauty!! Good seeing you Glen at the show!!

Yes, Lee, it was good to get out and see you, Steve, Gunsil, and Barry. I got a few bargains as well, and I know you did okay.

After the show, I picked up my mom, and we went up to the veterans cemetery to see dad. On the way out, there was an antique store that is never open, but yesterday, it was. I pawed around in the rusty tools and junk, and found a few nice treasures. Here's my $15 pile. I particularly like the hammer head at the top.

Glenn, that's what I call a successful find! That folding hunter looks like it was just waitin' on you to do your magic on it as well as the electrician knife!

I like those punches and the files!

Knice haul Glenn!! I especially like that PLUMB hatchet!!!

My estate sale purchases today.

The jigged bone auto won't open. The Shcrade Walden opens fine.
The 2 in the middle are BOKER's.

Scott, I always look forward to your "knife finds of the day". Sending a pm.

Hi Scoot, that Sharf-finger is a good find. It's always good to find mint Schrades with the box. Ken.

Gunshop find 65-69 6111 1/2. Great bone, tight
With original edge.

Knives from the North Star Blade Collectors meeting today. A Western States (arched stamp) camper with Buffalo shield, a Judson NY lock back made in Germany with nice Green bone scales, a Warren Bros. 1890 tuxedo pen with smooth bone handles and a trick knife one of the club members sent home for one of my grandkids.____Dave

We both felt like walking a little bit this morning after our doctor appointment, so we went to a big antique store, 2 levels, 22,000 square feet the sign said. Found a bunch of knives, way too many from across the pond but I was able to root out several, all with USA credentials to ride home with us.
A little Buck 305, a small Kutmaster stockman, a largerer Kutmaster stockman that is unsharpened but has some spots on the blades and then a Queen culinary knife with real Winterbottom handles. If the fixed blade tang stamps are the same as the folders it is a 1952-'55, still has an etch on the blade.
Have no idea about the age of the Buck or the 2 Kutmasters.
EDIT: I believe the little Buck falls in the 1971-'86 era, based on the Buck info here on AAPK Tang Stamps.
Treefarmer

Nice grabs, TF! I always liked those Kutmasters, some you can even find with nice bone on them.

Knice finds, my latest pickups. SAK watch knife and a Frost congress hand made by ole Paki Stan.

Picked this lot up sunday,love the I*XL with MOP ,well used but i like that as there meant to be used

Knice haul Paul!!

Picked these at an estate sale moments ago....

What's that folder under the big thing?

No name on tang, just scales.
One side reads: H. Hicks & Son New York
Other reads: Bon Voyage

Scott, What's the brand of the little dagger and would you message me a price if it's for sale. ___Dave

Got these yesterday at the Flea Market.
First up is this tiny Jack. Can't make out the stamp if it actually has one.
The main blade is kinda knackered. It's 2 and 1/4" long. Next up is this Camilus Jack. It goes 2 and 1/2" And lastly We have an Imperial Pen. 2 and 3/4". I like em. Little knives non threatening!

This one is coming to me compliments of The Bay; 4 1/4" Chris Wolf, in good shape and not expensive. I had a similar Chris Wolf which i sold (also most reasonably) to an esteemed AAPK'er. I have missed it's unique ruggedness. I think i will be very pleased with this one.
