All About Pocket Knives

Thanks yall!

Trace .

Well, who'da guessed that my resident "Office Gecko" was a knife critic? I was looking through photos of all my stag handled knives and he was sitting in his usual spot atop the monitor waiting for mosquitoes. As soon as I pulled up this Scagel photo he leapt right onto the screen and looked at me as if to say "I like this one!"

Killer shot. Tough to compete with that.

My 72 on a 3 million year old piece of pine.

I posted this one in fixed blade, but I thought it came out nice and belongs here too.

ww, I had never thought of pine as a hard wood but you have changed my mind. Love the 72.

Montanaman, lovely mammoth folder and the fixed ain't bad either.

I took that piece of petrified wood to Division of Geology and Land Survey and they estimated it at over 3 million years old and said it was pine. To be honest I thought at first it might have been a piece of fence post stuck in concrete. I was ready to be laughed out of the place but the Geologists confirmed it was indeed petrified wood. I keep it in my office and thought it might look good with that 72 on it! Thanks Floyd!! Wouldnt it be neat to have a knife handle in petrified wood! Probably just dreaming!

I bought it secondhand. Bill is a respected custom maker from Florida although I don’t know a lot about him. The knife has excellent quality and is very sharp. It’s 3 1/16” closed. It appears the handle is from a piece of antique silverware but I can’t confirm that. I’m thankful to still own it. I needed to sell a few things early this year but no matter what I did no one wanted it. Lucky me. It’s a special knife.
Edit: if anyone has an account with or owns past issues of Knife Magazine there is an article/biographical info there.

Thank you. I try and include a shell in most of my pics. I live part time on Sanibel Island

Took this pic for reference while doing research on boys knives. The reason for posting here is once I viewed it ,i felt like the boy in the pic ,all excited about getting a knife , so thought it warranted posting here.
Nice photos you all been showing, and some nice cutlery. Have a safe one

That strikes me as a fine collection.
