All About Pocket Knives

I do, only have a few but I love them. Lets see your ez pulls. Here is a syracuse I got a while back, it didn't have handles so I put some cow hoof on it.

nice job. is that material nearly transparent?

Thanks, yep it's almost transparent, can you see the rocker pin in the second pic?

not a problem. i wonder if you could tint the backside and colorize the material. would look very deep.

I think that would just make it look milkey like or like a home made Cell
that will never shine.

But who knows a color die or spacer or, a liner. But a spacer to cover up that center pin?

Is it real cows hoof?
Some horses shoesman use a black die ?

Yep, it's genuine cows hoof. A thin fiber sapcer would have been the bright thing to use , but I didn't have any on hand. You can dye the material various colors, but I'm not sure what type of dye they use? A fiber spacer along the liners would give it a cool tone I bet, I'll have to try it when I get some more hoof. Fiber spacers, yet another thing to add to my jantz order

how about a trashed electric knife co. I was able to get a user out of?

I like EZ Pulls quite a bit, here are the couple I have:
Bottom: Marshall Wells "Zenith"
2nd from Bottom: Brantford Cutlery Co.
Top Left: Camillus (Rope Knife)
Top Right: KA-Bar (All Brass, and I actually think this one may have had the blade swapped)

The only easy pull I have is this Queen.

nice ez pulls guys. Here is a NYK co. Got this one at a yard sale.
There was a small chip out of the handle on the pile side, so I tried my hand at patching it, worked out O.K. Still noticeable, but there isn't a hole there anymore.

Well I thought that I would give you all a taste of Pennsylvania. This is the only EZ I own. Albertson Cutlery KANE PA. I doubt that many of you have ever see one from this company as they are somewhat rare. If you have one, please post as I would love to see others. This one was in Knife world also. I think it is extremly well made and a heavy piece. Smooth black handles and in exellent condition. They just don't make them like this any more.

That does look like a really well built knife, I like that.

Here is one that is well built, but it's another from NY. An ulster that I rehandled with slabs I got out of a large knot that was on a maple branch, real nice grain.

In case you haven't soticed, I like to buy broken knives and fix them up

I forgot I had this Schatt & Morgan Easy Pull...

thats a monster sunny. I'm out, but here is the ulster I posted above before I tore it down to a single layer, it was just too fat for my pocket, kinda wish I had left it whole now......go figure

Got this in the mail today.

great looking little knife, who made it?

The tang stamp reads Imperial Prov. R.I.
Pretty old ,but I like it.

Speaking of LITTLE, this Imperial Hammer is only 2"...but it's kind of cute with it's tiny shield.....

Bill

That is a cute one Lobo.

That is an old imperial if it has solid bolsters.

I have a tiny one lying around here somewhere, only about 1" long, It needs a bit of work, but nothing I can't handle

It has solid bolsters and steel liners. At least the liners look like steel.
I think these were WW2 issue, but maybe someone knows for sure.

I wish it had solid bolsters... Oh, maybe you meant Gmarcus' knife?

Anyway, I've been accumulating some smaller pen knives and the like lately...come to think of it, I don't know where they're all coming from... ...maybe they are reproducing ...nah, some nice people are helping me, and I guess they just looked like fun to own.

Good thread Kaleb. You are almost getting to be too talented and diversified, to just be the muskrat man.

Bill

Thanks Bill,
I'm just the ratman, just doing what I like to do. .
