All About Pocket Knives

I am not saying something is wrong,but am questioning.I don't know enough about this brand.

Just something about the handles not matching the blades,but it's hard to tell with the coloration. I thought this,then read Voyles and Parker 1976 description of this brand as being handled with bone ,redwood ,and celluloid.

Not old.

I would not buy from that seller.

Here's a comparison, Authentic vs Fake.

Did someone (maybe Smoky Mountain Knife Works) resurect the Pine Knot brand two or three years ago ?

I know that SMKW used it in the 90's on some stockmans made by Colonial.

The posted knife is a fake plain and simple not a modern repro.

Here's some bad pictures of a 4" Pine Knot I bought from SMKW back in the 90s. It seems like a Colonial Steve mentioned.
Pretty solid knife.

Joe -- I think you're the first I've seen photograph their knife in the sink.

You know you're getting older when the 90s seem like "two or three years ago".

Jerry, I know that's pretty strange, eh. Actually, the location wasn't the sink really. I'm kind of like a moth, I was drawn by the light; the durn sink just happened to be there.
Can I get a better picture of that rat tail bolster Pine Knot?
Looks like a nice congress.

I'm still laughing at this statement.

If you don't sell a fake ,just raise the price.It started at $250 last time. $275 now

That's very true. My dog had a litter of German Shepherd mix puppies and I ran an add in local newspaper, "Free to a good home", not one single taker. Relisted them at $25 each and sold them all. People are funny!

Same thing with me, I had an ad in the paper for a set of truck tires on rims, free to whoever comes get them. Ran it 3 times and never got a call. Put it in for $10 a piece, and someone came and got them the same day.

Another time I had a push mower out front by the road with a free sign, no one even stopped. I put a cardboard sign that said $25, and when I got home from the store one day someone had stole it.
