All About Pocket Knives

Recently took possession of my wife’s family farm and have found several old pocket knives.

to AAPK and nice old knives. Looks like the Case delrin handles need a drop of oil on each in order to bring them back to life.
Keep hunting!

Nice finds! The pearl manicure knife stamped Case Bradford is over 100 years old. I agree with Ray - a couple drops of oil on a rag wiped on the handles will restore the handles of those other Case knives. They appear to have “Delrin haze” (oxidation from lack of handling). Lightly wipe it on the blades of all of them while you’re at it.

Thank you for the info on the manicure knife. I had no idea. Likely my wife’s grandfather’s knife.

You found a bunch of nice old knives

Awesome finds!! Congratts on all of them!! That old Case is a beauty and those other Case knives are nice as well. And that long line Camillus Barlow is a great find too!!

The Barlow with the etch is an advertising knife for Pioneer Seed,corn,soybeans etc.
