All About Pocket Knives

There is a great thread on vintage tool and eating sets started by M.B., but I didn't see one for knife sets which could include knife/knife, knife/axe, or knife/saw combinations.

Enclosed are a few examples which include a Henckels Hunting sword (Hirschfanger) which has a small fixed blade knife that tucks into the sheath just above the acorn. This was a fairly common combination with these types of German hunting swords.

The second group is an Imperial set which featured two knives in one sheath, and a third folding fishing model as shown.

Please add on what you have.

Good idea for a post Mason. I really like the Henckels set! Any of the little box hunting set are getting hard to find.

Nice sets Mason and Wayne. the Henkels set is great. Really like the Kabar knife ax combo sets as well. Actually like all of the sets posted, just the two mentioned especially.

Here are a few.............
A Gerber Set.
Keenwell Knife/Ax combo
Case Twin Finn
Case Knifax
United Cutlery change blade set.
Kershaw Blade Trader.

Thanks guys. btrwtr and K7K, your examples are both unique and great to see. It would be interesting to know how many different companies made knife/axe combinations.

Here is a double knife set by Boker. Western and others offered sets like these as well.

Here are a couple more.

First 2 pics, left to right are Kinfolks, Jean Case, and Cattaraugus knife-ax sets. Note the Jean case has a milled pull in the ax head. These were all made in the same co-op.

Third pic are 2 case Tested K/A sets, Green Bone and Green Celluloid. The celluloid has the deluxe ax head.

Forth pic Case XX and Case Tested K/A sets with wood handles.

Very cool, and I really like it as an old Scout myself.

I've coveted the Case Twin Finn for many years. I don't jump on one because I'm afraid my imagination won't hold up to reality. Now one of those Western or Ka-Bar sets...........

I only have two and the first one may not even fit into this thread. If it doesn't, let me know and I'll delete it.

Nice sets that fit in well, thanks.
Wasn't there a similar set to your pliers set that had a heavy duty scissors and knife?

I don't recall seeing anything like that but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Nice sportsman`s set Jerry

Remington Boy Scout knife set

Thanks Dimitri.


Wow, Mike. That's a beauty set right there.

Wow, knife7knut, mason, dimitri, wayne, jerry and scoutknive, you guys are posting a lot of great sets. Scoutknives, that Boy Scout boxed set is excellent!

Here is another knife set in the box, still has the original paper sleeve on the hunting knife blade

Love this thread !
Thanks for the kind words Jerry and Dan .

Here is another official Boy Scout set made by Pal Blade

It's a whole new genre of collecting. (Well maybe not for you guys but for me...) And to have them unused in the original boxes? That's really something. A huge accomplishment.

Two more good ones. As Jerry said, really something to see these in the original box!
Dan

M.B., Great "BIG 3" set, and I love the graphics.
And Scout Knives, fantastic top notch Remington and Pal sets!!! What are the ages of the two?
Thanks all for contributions and comments.

Colonial made a sheath knife and folding camp knife set similar to Imperial, but this is the only large and small sheath knife set that I have seen.

The Remington set dates from 1934-39 and the Pal set I'm guessing 1940-45

Neal, that set is just the Hot Tamale. I like it.

Man, this is a fantastic thread - I'm also amazed that the boxes and packaging are in such fine shape - if I'd gotten one of those sets as a Boy Scout I'd been out in the yard in five minutes using that cool stuff!! OH
