All About Pocket Knives

Hi all,
I am new to the AAPK forums. Been on others for a while. Finally decided to check out the forums here. I am new to fixed blade knives. I have owned cheap ones before, which I don't count. Just had some nice fixed blades a couple of months. My first had to be stacked leather, and a Case. I like to support local makers. I am from PA, even though I am 6-7 hours from Case's factory.

Anyway, one of my other hobbies is photography. And I love to shoot my knives. And to post them. So here are my fixed blades as of now.

Case Stacked Leather


Case slabside









Queen


Case USMC





I might loose some of you now. It is a Rough Rider. Yes, made in China. But it is well made of quility materials, and the most important thing, I LIKE IT.






That is all for now. I have one more coming in the mail. We will see how it is when it gets here. Now back to my pocket knives.

Im jealous of your photo's,..and your knives. and to the site.

Hi Bill, Welcome to AAPK.

You have some great looking fixed blades. I especially like the Case USMC knife. I had not seen one of those. Is that a current production knife?

Great job on the photos too.

Thanks for the welcome. The USMC Case knife is a special run of the knife that Case submitted to the USMC to get the contract. I am told they did not get the contract. You can still find this at some Case dealers. I am debaiting if I want to sharpen it. I am not pleased with the edge it has on it out of the box. Or just keep it in the box. It came with a certificate of authenticity and it has a special box with the USMC raising the flag on Iwo Jima.

Is your CASE "kabar" stamped 1998?? I did not know they were still making them that late.
