All About Pocket Knives

Hey Gents!
Recently found AAPK while researching an old collection (mostly 70s). I have to admit the buy was made blind and a gamble at best. All the great info here leads me to believe that I got lucky and I thought it was appropriate to offer up a sincere Thank You!

LF

Here's pics of some of them, I'll try to post a few more this week. There's also several fixed blade models including some really nice handmades from the previous owner. Also my first time posting pics in a forum, we'll see how it goes!

Thanks again for the warm welcome fellas.

Hey gmusic, I have to admit I am below novice level at this point. Heck, until a few weeks ago I couldn't keep up with my everyday carry folder. Funny though, now I find myself being so careful with these that my wife looks at me like I'm crazy.
I really like the Sidewinder & Lockhorn, but the Schrade Walden Display really gets some attention in my shop.

Welcome Lucky. Thanks for shedding some light on what went in that little Kissing Crane leather pouch that I found in a junk store a couple months back! Couldn't pass it up for a buck! Thanks!

The bolo is a model 1917 bolo. I believe the one in the middle might be a Zouave bayonet. If it is it dates from the Civil War. The top one I have no idea. Are there any markings on the one in the middle?

Alright! Does that count as my first contribution (I know its a small one but let me have my moment )? Glad I could help Caddy!

Hey Searcher, thanks for the info. The one in the middle has these markings...

2999 - on the right side top of the handle
F.W. - on the rear/butt of the handle

The combination of terrible lighting and some of that fancy rust makes it hard to tell if there is anything on the blade, I'll take a closer look tomorrow in the shop.

Thanks again All
