All About Pocket Knives

Thanks Lansky, me too, love the grind, the scale left on, the stamp. And Bear Lake is my fav Northwoods anymore, so much more pocket friendly than my others and lighter, and fits my hand right. Great pattern. And I also like how it's not another GEC clone. I can't even tell you what frame it is, but doesn't seem to be the regular GEC format. Another great Derrick Bohn innovation. RIP DB. Also really like that Muskrat with the Wharn mod. Ratcliffe is it? Well, great bones and great Wharn.

How is the quality? I've been really interested in getting one of those rigging knives with the hawkbill blade.

Couple of modern Winchester’s in stag.

Great looking knives, great stag, and good leaves in there too. Calendar shot.

I'll 'second' that Ivoryman... Great knives Tony and a beaut photo.

The #74 Ranch Hand was one of the first GEC's I got and it sees a lot of use.
Just picked up a nice slim single blade #74 to go with it. Derek

Quality seems fine. With the caveat that I haven't used them for anything. They seem on par with what Camillus used to offer. If you haven't held one they are very slim. This can be good and bad.

Thank you. Was a good day for pictures.

Took this one yesterday as well.

Although sporting questionable steel, this sporting duo does offer a decent sheath.

A couple of edged shop tools. I use them for leather and pattern making.

@Quick steel: I like this pair of long rifles. Are they still avilable?

Nice stag

So many beautiful knives on this post.. here's some EDCs from along time ago.

bigbore, Glad you like the knives. I don't sell my knives. These are China made and the knives, while interesting, do not impress me with their quality.

Pair of GEC 35s and a pair that look to me like they are built on the same frame, but 60 yrs apart. Obviously not though. Popular pattern longevity.

This couple of Rough Riders I picked up are like mules in a Kentucky Derby thread.

Would it make you feel better if I ran a team of mules out here to keep you company? The bigg'un just works that little one to death, trying to keep up.

Here are my Gerber twins, although not identical. I am the father, Pacific Bell was the mother.

Welcome to AAPK. Glad to have you aboard and thank you for participating.

Thank you. I guess I've been into knives all my life. Just not as a collector. I found this sight by accident. Started reading some of the posts and liked what I was reading. Going to the post office soon to pick up my first Case knife. I have two more on the way. This could very well be the start of a new compulsive disorder for me. I hope so.

This should be a better view of the picture.

Compulsion? Addiction? What ever you call it, it's almost as strong as drugs or alcohol for those who are in it's clutches. It will take your money and leave you smiling with no ill effects other than a thinner wallet and occasional regrets.

Just jump right in with both feet. You are very welcome here.

Welcome NW.. Hang around as there are AWESOME people here!!! John

Case currently makes three variations of this 07.

Can my mules play too?

Didn't know anybody cared, how about sum congress jackasses.

I like the group shots men. Love to see the variety everyone amasses. Very cool guys, thanks.
