All About Pocket Knives

Right you are. One can't have too many BDs. Sadly, I suffer from cellulose phobia. But your collection looks great.

Marco, you are a better man than I. If I obtained a knife believing it was an original, even if it was my error, a reproduction would leave a bitter taste in my mouth for quite a while. This has nothing to do the with quality of the repro even tho it is first rate. Just takes me longer to get over a...

Thanks for the comment dog.

Looksharp, thanks for your observation.

Tony, thank you so much for your input.

That is a good looking knife to my eye, Marco.

Below is a Western Bowie. On the tang is "W49 and the letter J." Can anyone explain these markings. I believe the W 49 is the model number.
Anyway to identify when this was made or issued?

Spyderco knives were heavily used before my retirement. The shiny model on the left is my oldest; about 30 years of age.

Although I was up quite early, it is after noon time now so Good Afternoon. David, enjoy your voyage of discovery into your car/computer. On my sister's SUV, I found the computer provided a lot of useful information, e.g. mpg, tire pressure, etc. However there are so many other features that I suspe...

Zed, you have a gorgeous piece.

Prayers continuing, David. I presume your doctors have thoroughly checked your status of all minerals. If not, tell them to do so.

MU, you have a wonderfully interesting collection.

An excellent discovery Ike.

Beautiful boys. Keep them out of the clutches of wacko teachers.

Ike, and perhaps a few others, might recall that at the end of February I began investigating the use of gin soaked raisins for my knee arthritis. I have been using them for over a month now. Here are the results. Pain in both knees has been reduced by about 90%. Stiffness has been reduced by perhap...

Absolutely amazing collections.

Very, very, fine photos doglegg. Thanks.

Sunny and clear here. 35 going to 57. My youngest brother has been working on a movie in Greece but if plane connections work out he will stop in Indiana to watch the solar eclipse then swing down here for a brief visit and meal. Speaking of movies, I have been exposing my sister to more of the clas...

Jnevill, you have a wonderful collection of knives. I especially enjoy your excellent stag collection.

Q, I am very pleased to learn of the scrimshaw influence. K7k, you have so very many subsections and each is interesting in its own way. ::tu:: Marco, you are right in thinking that I am not a hunter. However, I will not enter the woods unarmed. The middle gun, the M-1 carbine is the only military p...

Iman, thanks for your comment.

Looks like a Bulldog to me. I suspect its misalignment occurred subsequent to its manufacture. At least I have never encountered one in that condition.
My purchases of Bulldogs are limited to NOS, essentially mint.

P1050207.JPG On the top of the table is a replica Viking sword. Lower of the stand is a Yemen made highly decorated knife. Behind the sword stand on the left are the white tubes of GEC knives while on the right are Schatt & Morgan knives in boxes. Across and in front of the sword stand is a ser...

A handsome looking whittler for sure, chickenman.

Yesterday's storms passed north of us towards and around Louisville. Late this day we are apparently likely to receive some light non-accumulating snow. Had a Cooper's Hawk visit two days ago. Easter greetings from former students were fun, but some of them are retired now, which is just hard for me...
