All About Pocket Knives

I have been going through the old threads here on AAPK and with all the pictures of knives that have been posted, I wondered what others think is their favorite knife that has been pictured here.

And yes, you can vote for your own knife

I am going to start a similar thread in General Knife discussion for modern knives


Post a picture of your favorite knife that has ever been posted at AAPK!

Don't know how to post a pic, but Owd Willies Granpa's Case hobo is my pick.

WOW - I was going to pick the same knife edgy!!!

Owd Wullie's Gramps Case Hobo - I second that......as nice as any I have seen and way finer than most.

I'm right there with ya!

Owd Wullie's HoBo is tops!

..... Joe

Trevor and Joe beat me to it, I also would say Wullies Case Hobo. There is a beter pic of it somewhere, I will try and find it.

Found it! This is king! Awesome thread by the way!

Yup, hands down, Owd Wullies old hobo knife. That knife is incredible

I would be the last to deny the beauty of Willies fine old Case Hobo, but I have to throw my old Penn in the mix so you all can feast your eyes on another georgeous knife and consider it as well. Thanks.

I know no one else would vote for it but that doesn't matter. This old no-name EZ-Open that Dale gave to me is what does it for me. The bail's gone, the blade has most likely been replaced but those old bone handles have captured my heart.

Here are a few. Charlie Noyes Terrier barlow and an Empire from upnorth.

Thanks, Viking Dog, for including my Terrier "TCC" bolstered Barlow.
I knew you liked that knife.
Charlie Noyes

Number one all time favorite Charlie.

For me it's gotta be this old Boker with acorn shield posted by thegreedygulo.
Either that one or the carved pearl dog knife he uses for his avatar...

Upnorth has an old Wilbert easy open jack knife that is the nicest I've seen. It was the pattern
for the Blade Forums knife. Hopefully he'll show up and post his photo of it.

How to pick just ONE knife is akin to looking for a kernel of corn in a grain silo.If I had to pick one,it would probably be the Napanoch tool kit that someone posted on here.Or maybe one of Dimitri's gnarly stag handled beauties.Or maybe.............well;you get the idea.
I just enjoy looking at EVERYTHING that is posted on here.

The Case knife is very nice indeed and Charlie's Terrier's, especially the barlow, are also great but I will submit these as some of the best on the site and if I had to choose one it would have to be the Pearl Cattle knife by Excelsior.

Sorry guys I had to pick some of mine!!!

Don't the rust spots on that Waterville just about break your heart? I know, it's part of the knife's history, but really.

I had no doubt that something of Michael's would steal the show in this thread.

I thought of that Excelsior as soon as I read MB's first post.

That and one or two of those etched Electrics he has.

Unbelieveable knives from Galvanic.

Everything in this thread has been great.

Charlie Noyes

Here is a couple cool ones just listed by thegreedygulo. Bokers and they are sweeeeet!

Vikingdog has a great Russell barlow I wish he would throw in the ring.

Thanks for the nod Joe. It's a nice one but it's one of the newer ones. My nicest vintage knife is probably an Electric Cutlery.

awesome knives here..
mike i have that very same electric easy open from walden in near mint condition, looks identical to yours. mine has what looks like a backwards R in the name electric.. is yours the same way? i know this was just a 2 year period when they moved from n.j.

i just discovered another electric eo of the same likeness in my collection. stamping is the very same. so i am guessing yours would be the same also.....

I hope that my collection gets large enough to 'discover' stuff in it!! THATS AWESOME!!


IM

thanks im, it was a surprise for me also..i have a pretty extensive collection of old easy opens so they all seem to blend together, but i still would love to have that custom gec that mm did for you.. now that would be in a class all its own...

Just opened this thread. As soon as I read MB's question I thought of Wullie's Case hobo.
Obviously, I wasn't the only one with that nomination!!
