All About Pocket Knives

too cool to pass up. and it kinda fits with my rocket cap popper.
ikco(imperial knife co.) stamped. shell covered handles, a rocket speeding through space with planets and stars. what a knife for a young(or old) kid during the pioneer days of rocketry. snaps like one of ralph's gators and it has a half stop.

That is just a pretty cool duet Johnnie.

Nice knife Johnnie! And I used to love those cap rockets! They used to make my imagination sizzle!!

Cap Rockets were COOL!

Cap rockets and sparklers were all we had as kids to celebrate July 4th., although later we learned a trick with carbide and a tin can.

The rocket handle knife is an iconic image and may go back to the 30's and the advent of Buck Rodgers !

What's the writing on the rocket's tail say Johnnie ?

Fran

it says "jet jacknife"

Boy, that is rite up my alley. Great find!

Here is another rocket knife. I've had this old Camco for a long time. Blow on the yellow end and it makes a cool whirling sound. I think with the lanyard on the side, it was meant to tie a string to and whirl it around in a circle to make the noise. But it's off balanced and won't work right for me.Still a pretty cool old boys knife.

May I ask how much did that great rocket knife set you back? It is awesome.

one of my larger knife purchases.......$11.94. could not pass it up.

Wow, that's a great price! Lucky you! How old do you think it is?
