All About Pocket Knives

bighomer,
That big Case Sodbuster would be my choice. They have always seemed to be great choice for a working man’s knife. The Ulster ain’t half bad either.

I'd be tickled with that Ulster Scout knife! It still has the etch visible on the blade. I have one just like it that I carried in the Scouts. It's worn out, no snap left but lots of memories!

No Sir, don't hold back. You keep showing us all you have. Those are the usually knives I find, it's just this is a special trip so I'm going to buy some different type knives than are my usually. Keep'um coming!

This was my only find today, but it was after looking at very many in different shops. This is one I bought from the craftsman Tom Cooper of Soldotna, AK. He has been here for 22 years making knives from natural materials. This knife has a stone blade and sun dried moose antler handle. He also handcrafts many other ornaments and display items like the ones pictured.

That's some interesting work! The knife I can fathom but the carving in/on the moose antler is just simply amazing. The detail is incredible!

Thanks for the kind words fellers, as I said both knives have had very little use, just some poor storage and I figure at 30 bucks for the pair I ain't hurting to bad. Beautiful carvings and knife. quite a talented man.

Just got these from a neighbor, PAL RH 36, 2 SCHRADE WALDEN 225, a CASE 627SP,a HSB and a CAMILLUS.

Wow! wish I had neighbors like that.
Folding hunters have captured my attention lately, that's a nice pair.

Of all the places anywhere, I found this Ulu knife at a Salvation Army store in Homer, AK. The other two were made by a local craftsman living "off the grid" somewhere near Kachemak Bay.
Handle on the left is Caribou and on the right is Moose.

Awesome haul David!! Love moose, caribou horn knives....one of these days I'm ...

Back from flea market yesterday....got some Case parts knives, Cutco, and a little Bison charm knife

Jackknifeben, I’d be having kittens over the Pal if I hadn’t got my own a few months ago, oddly enough, from my neighbour!
I’ve never been into ulus, but I do like the Russlock. Go figure!

Here is my weekend haul.
This is my first marked silver fruit knife. I dated it to 1933. It’s a beauty!
The old horn handled multi has no name. I suspect it’s quite old. I’m not entirely sure the blade are stainless. They seem to be plated. Nickle, perhaps? Maybe chrome?
The camo Case was another $5 Bucket O’ Knives guy catch. The guys at the bbq said I stole it!
Last we have a little Gentleman’s. You know, I almost wonder if it’s actually shell, not cell. It seems to be more organic on the edges. Anyway, it’s a brand I haven’t seen. I bought it from one of my regular Red Barn guys, more to help him out. A lot of the tables have been closing. It’s hard for the vendors to make their rent. Nobody has spending money anymore.
Well, apparently I do - or did, before I got out of there!

David R, you're going to have to rent a truck to get that all home. Wow some awesome pick ups.

Jack Knife Ben, you must live in a better neighborhood than me. Great pile of knives.

Scott, you buffalo'd us with that one.

Ann, your usual great little scavenged pile. Always interesting.

Great haul Ann!!! doglegg my wife and sister in law are in town right now and they are suppose to bring back a new suitcase for us to carry back all of our Alaskan Plunder.

Didn't think I was going knife hunting today, but we had to go into town for a couple of things and there just happen to be a store that I had not been in yet. And what do you know two more for knives for the pile.

The top one is a single blade bockback by Lockwood Brothers Sheffield, England. Carbon blade, bone handle, nickel/silver bolsters and steel pins.
The bottom is a two blade Stainless Steel folding knife. Unknown metal handle, it is not magnetic, so I'm not sure. The figures on the handle are impressed. It's a beautiful knife.

David, you are doing well with finding knives. Excellent. Thanks for all the pic's and of the knives as well.

You want to meet me at DFW Airport and help me haul them to the car? I had to buy an extra suitcase to bring back all that my wife and I have purchased. I still have 5 more shopping days, wait a minute so does my wife!

David that Lockwood is stunning. Nice work. ____Dave

The eagle knife certainly is a beauty!

David, That lockback is NICE!!

I wasn't going to look for any knives today, just wildlife, but the others keep taking me to places that had knives. All of those knives have great "walk & talk" especially the Camillus military knife. All the blades are in perfect condition and there is no evidence of rust anywhere, which is strange in this climate. I also picked up another bone and stone knife with an antler stand. I'm a hat guy also, so I've picked up some hats and of all things a rattlesnake hatband at an estate sale we came across. As much as I screamed like a girl about the snakes on the Outdoorsman Thread a snake hatband doesn't bother me.

I’ll just comment here that I worked with dozens of snakes and handled them quite happily. I also used to eat my lunch beside a tank that held a six foot Eastern Diamondback named Jelly Roll.
Just sayin’...

Ann, you've got way more moxie than I do, my hatband is off to you.

Ann I am just going to assume that as you had your lunch that serpent didn't make any suggestions about a nice piece of fruit hanging on a nearby tree.
