All About Pocket Knives

Anyone else collect these?

Here's a few that I like.

I have one. A big old WALTCO. I had it at a show once and a priest came up and was twirling it like a majorette. He explained that he was stationed in the Philippine Islands for 5 years and didn't have much to do in his spare time. It was scary. I can't even begin handle one. J.O'.

Nice old Waltco

Atached 2 matching knives with sheaths both etched one is Floyf Bentz the other Allen bentz one backspring of one handle other handle etched Manila Philipines 1946. one large display version 23 inchs open.

Couple nice ones LT

I like the size of the larger one.

Here's one from the Philippines that when closed looks like a pen that can clip into your shirt pocket.

Here's a few:

Very nice Ray!

Who made the one in the 4th picture down?

Dimitri: it is stamped(on the handle) HEMMING FISHERMAN.

Pretty awesome examples. I have one at home that I got off of galvanic, not sure how old it is though.

A few more.

En route to Alexandria, Dimitri.

It was suggested I post my Hemming Woodsman here, and I thought I'd add a few other old hunting/outdoors butterfly knives.

I know nothing about this one, except the blade is probably stainless.

Looks well built, like the horn handles

I'm not a bali fan John, even though I currently have a $20. cheapo on the way just so I have one in my collection, but I must say that your knife is without a doubt the nicest balisong knife I've ever laid eyes on! And, it has a spear-point blade instead of the usual clip-point ta boot! Beautiful knife bud!

Thank you, gentlemen.

I forgot to add another interesting butterfly knife in my collection. This is a Böntgen & Sabin of Solingen (better, latter known as "Bonsa") penknife from the 1880s-1920s. Interestingly, because the latch fits flush in both the opening and closing position, it has a nail nick on the side to ease manipulation. If anyone has one of the larger Bonsa butterflys, I'd love to see it.

Nice knife!

This is not a knife but is made by Bonsa

Cool stuff guys!

Ah, a button hook! Classic accessory for a well dressed gentleman or lady.

I thought it was a bird-guts puller!
