All About Pocket Knives

I went with Kevin ( knifeaddict1965) to the show Friday and picked up 2 knives
I really like.

The first one is a Boker that has thuya wood for handles. The handles drew
me to getting this knife. I know what quality Boker usually has and this
is no exception. It is from 1982. The sharpening stone was a nice addition
to the presentation.
The second is a Pal knife. I again really liked the handles ( bone this time ) and wanted
to add another USA brand knife to my collection. The previous owner over-
buffed the blades a bit but I will accept it.

My short research shows the Pal brand was not around for a long time.
I think the knife is from the early 50's.

If you want to go to a really good knife show, it should happen again in 12 months.

Nice pick-ups Bob, it was good to meet you. I hate to wish my life away, but I hope next August gets here quick, cause I'm ready to go back and get some more knives.

I like them both Bob.

Fine pickups Bob. I am loving your Boker; the scales are beautiful.

Very nice catches Bob! I really like the Boker and am going to have to look for some of that Thuya (sp?) wood, The Pal is a real nice oldie, but someone it looks like someone treated it to a session with the belt sander. But, I'm sure it will make a nice EDC. Well done Sir!

Bob - That is a nice pair of knives you picked up at the show. I have one of those Bokers: it is a very nice knife and stone combo.

Looks like you scored at the knife show, Bob! Congrats!

Knice pickups love the wood on the Boker and that ole pal is one fine hok.

Thanks guys for all the kind comments. I think I will put a light patina
on the Pal so as to decrease the super shine the previous owner put
on the blades.
