All About Pocket Knives

An Adolph Kastor & Bro's brand, references say circa 1913-1927.

Well made knives every one I have ever had, looked a long time to find one of these plier-knives in good condition!

If you got 'em please show them

Nice Dimitri - nice to find one in working order - sorry though no Morley Knives from me to show...

I'm with you... love the old Morley's and such a wide range of patterns, including some nice miniatures. Here are a couple of mine.

By the way, I've been meaning to compliment you. As AAPK Janitor you sure keep this place clean!

Thanks Lee, these plier knives were made to use and most of them were used and abused!

..my wife has a pair of antique scissors that are marked "w.h. morley and sons" and " kastor & co., Germany" on the opposite side. they appear to be nickle silver, and have a lot of fancy engraving on them!!.she bought them at a flea market many years ago!!.......... ..............

They sound like nice scissors Tommy, I am sure they are quality made just like their pocket knives!

Thanks D. I am always amazed at the amount of work that it took to create such a complex knife.

Ray that's a really interesting looking knife!!! Good find

Here's my two, probably posted the scout knife before in that thread.

Very nice Bill

Thanks Dimitri

I have one more W.H. Morley & Sons, Lodge knife to share.
Love the "Birds Eye Rivets" I had fun researching the handles art work.
Probably a B.P.O.E. membership or club knife.
I do not know if the B.P.O.E. members still practice the below ceremony. Perhaps there are current Elks members here within aapk?
The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks is an American fraternal order founded in 1868 originally as a social club in New York City.
At every meeting of the BPOE, and every social function, when the hour of 11:00 p.m. tolls, the Lodge conducts a charming ceremonial known as the "Eleven O'clock Toast." In fact, the clock tolling the eleventh hour is part of the BPOE official emblem, and is directly behind the representation of an elk's head in the emblem of the Order.

Very nice Dan

Thank you Bill
