All About Pocket Knives

Being a knife collector makes it easy for people who want to give you a gift. A blessing or a curse? Much better than a new tie, or a pair of socks!

Here are a couple I received. The Tidioute (GEC) camp knife is a gift from our oldest son, the Pal official BSA knife is from our youngest son.

If you got a knife for Christmas this year, show it here.

Cant do photos but I did get a super Schatt & Morgan File & wire large jack. Also a knives & roses Zippo from the wife. Also gave a couple cuystom bucks as gifts..

Very nice gifts, Ken. Your Sons did well.

This Buck 112 50th Anniversary model was under our tree this morning from my wife. These come in two variants. One with finger grooves and one without. My wife thought I didn't have either one so she felt safe picking one out for me. Just by chance, she chose the finger groove model which I didn't already have. She could have easily chosen the other model and it would have been a duplicate of the one I already have.

It worked out perfectly because it's the first finger grooved 112 that I have ever owned and now I have one each of the 50th Anniversary 112's. She did good. I love it!

I'm kinda partial to the one with the finger grooves.

Thanks, Samb!

I got one of my sons a Buck Spitfire years ago so he liked it so much he gut me one for Christmas I didn't dare tell him I have three already

It's the thought that counts.

Skip and Herb were good to me! Thanks again, guys!

All y’all done good! We fooled ol’ Santa again.

Ken

A new 18 stag

Y’all must have been extra good for ol Santa to bring all that fine pocket cutlery!

I received this from my bride, but i understand that there are two more things coming my way that the mail rider couldn’t get here in time for Christmas….so….who knows what else might show up!

CASE Canoe, CV, gray Crandall jigged bone.

In CV nice

Thank you sir! I’m a CV kind of guy most of the time!

That Spitfire you got is nice! I know what you mean. My son got me one a couple of years ago, and I picked up another one at a gun show right away, I love that knife. then I wound up giving it to my other son.

I used mine to field dress a couple of deer and it worked better than just about anything I’ve used. Heck for stout knife too.

Ya'll must have been extra good this year guys for Santa to bestow such beautiful cutlery upon you! This post from John I found particularly intriguing, would I be correct in assuming the stiletto and OTF came from Herb, and the big trapper and Utica from Skip, yes? Thx bud!

Mine arrived a little late due to the storm I reckon, seeing as the mailman hadn't ran since last week. Santa boss do good

Thanks, Mark! Skip sent the train figural knife, Herb the rest. We're confident the OTF is a knockoff (but it functions and cuts) and there's a story behind the stiletto.
