All About Pocket Knives

My dad gave me this knife when i got married 11 years ago. I had never seen it before that day. He said he bought it in Alaska when he was stationed there (Navy) during the Vietnam War. (what a place to be during that war). Anyways, it's one of my prized possessions from him that i will never depart with and it will go to one of my daughters or a grandson if/when that day comes. It has spent many a day in our sock drawers.

How about yall????

Great knife!!

Don't know if you're interested or not, but here is the original poster I believe is advertising your knife, along with some others done in the same year.....

...borrowed from lrv's great site. The artwork was done by Frank Giorgiani, whose signature can be seen on your knife.

maybe old dad's memory was failing him about when he got it.

musta been all the wacky weed he smoked in the service.

wildcat; I am not sure I understand the link between you getting that knife on your Wedding Day.

Unless you were the WINNING BUCK...

I am glad to see some one gave a gift to the new family that is not just a girly gift.
I collect Schrades and have many Scrimshaw.
They look so kool to me. All white and black.
In fact I have that were same knife.
She's a hand full. Wife and knife...

Hey, it happens to all of us.

OK.....what were we talking about again?

Don't know if this counts...how about one I gave to my wife, that she really, really likes and uses? She has never even chased me with it.....well, not yet anyway.

justold52, i think he just wanted to give me something of his and he knows i'm a certifiable knife nut. Maybe it was just a good time to do it.

Pop gimme this knife for my B'day, back in 1984. At the time, I was aready a knife dealer, with an inventory of about 1,000 knives... why he thought I needed another one was curious to me, at the time.

As you can tell by looking - it's been one durn good "carrying" knife. I guess the old man was smarter than I gave him credit for ?

I'd trade this knife to get him back, but that's the only way I'll ever let go of it.

Great knives guys::tu::
i inherited Pop's knives when he passed but heres the last he gave me, its a Parker K-539 and it has some of the best steel in it i've seen.

Things kind of went the other way - when I was working at the Cutlery Shop, I bought my Dad a nice Case PK. And then, when I left the country for a while and stored a few things, the old man glommed a few of my other knives.

He did have an old PK of his own, but it was much worn and a bit clapped out. Needed replacing and upgrading.

My Bro in law has those now.
