All About Pocket Knives

Imperial shell handle knives are not a high dollar collectable, but were a very usable and low priced knife. Most of us have a few so lets show them.

Very nice ones, James!
Are we going to include the Hammer Brand stamps?

"PRESS" liner lock fish knives.

Might as well.

KAMP-KING

It's easier to find one in the package than it is to find a mint one out of the package!
These things were used to there fullest, due to there price

(I've got to clean my camera before I post any more pics.)

From the fish knife pile. Need to take some fresh scans, I have upgraded two of the churchkey knives.

Great pictures folks. I will post some more this evening,

Foil wrap toothpick restoration project.

Someone ground the scaling ridges off the spine
on this knife for some reason

A magnet will readily stick to the shells, and rust will surface
over time, therefore they are not true nickle silver.
I believe they are nickle plated steel.

A donor knife will be used to replace the
beat-up bolsters and altered blade.

Here are a few more. The ones on the right are trick knives. My older brother never would show me how his worked.

Careful with those "Auto's"

A lot of nice old knives!
