All About Pocket Knives

Sorry I missed that. Wish we still had it.

Two more The Colonial main blade is loose and wobbly. Also looks like someone did a poor job of replacing the main hinge pin. The Camillus main is also wobbly.

Colonial Pic-Nic-Pal Camillus MD-U.S.N. $28.50 including shipping for the two. Check or money order please.

Sad to say. About 10 years ago after being hacked

This is why I asked for opinions.

More pics.

Thanks Treefarmer. It's one of my favorites. It has an awesome snap.I think it is referred to as a Gelding Knife.

I'd appreciate any opinions on this pattern stamp.

Tongue oil. Several coats.

That guy did some fine work!

I plan to be there Friday And Saturday.I think 2013 was the last time I was there. It's a great vintage folder show. I hope to meet some of you guys that I have never met.Great venue, lodging, and dining also.

I had one just like that for a few years.I gave it to a neighbor kid who was going for his Eagle Scout badge. It's an awesome tool.

oyster shucker maybe?

Sharpening this razor was quite a challenge. HAAAARD steel! I couldn't get an edge started until I used a Smith's pocket diamond. The only diamond I have.

FRJ, I just looked up your Hessenbruch knife. Real nice and looks sturdy. I also saw a gentleman's knife with MOP in my searches.

Ditto Beavertail. That works better than anything I have ever tried.

I finally got there by stropping with chrome oxide. I feel that I can get better but am satisfied with the shaves I'm getting now.My before and after stropping needs to improve, so I'm working on that.

If you do a search using those words, a site will have a 45 page list
