All About Pocket Knives

What have I been up to for the past 3 weeks? Why a full boat restoration on a complete set of Forgecraft Hi-Carbons. Man that's a tough set to complete in nice condition reasonable. Well It will set you back a good bit more than a Paula Dean set anyhoo and for good reason. For those not familiar, th...

FRJ that has to be the penultimate collection of kitchen knives I have seen anywhere, Give me some ideas on old ones with good steel to look for. I noticed a lot of Sabatior, Are they any good steel wise? I have see a few around but the blades on the ones I looked at were kinda twisted a little or k...

TripleF. Straining my eyes hard but looks like you got the same kind of smarty aleck gobblers we have around here. Seen one the other day putting his head under his wing before he gobbled so you could'nt hear him.

Got a couple more Old Hicks this morning with the Shapleigh's stamps that match my others, Two I did not have yet and in unbelievable like new condition. I don't think they had been sharpened until now. A 7" butcher and a 5 1/4 slicer. Now if I could find a good 10 or 12 bull nose in nice shape...

How about one from the King of one liners. " I came from a real tough neighborhood. Once a guy pulled a knife on me. I knew he wasn't a professional, the knife had butter on it" Rodney Dangerfield. "Man, tough crowd I tell ya".,, tugs shirt collar. The other thin ham one came fro...

Yes, I do, but mostly rifle stuff. Someone stole my rockchucker out of my hunting cabin a few years back and all I have is this el cheapo RBS junior that don't have an interchanging shell holder at the moment. It only has a rifle shell holder so Im stuck with that for now. I can whip you some Honky ...

Well since this seems to be the flavor of the day. OK, I'll play.......or maybe I won't Just so you will know what an old 60s 3 screw Super looks like. and the others are a matching pair of wood handle Case SAB CV folding hunters probably close to around same vintage +/- 2-3 tuned up and ready. When...

Old Hunter to heck with the Knives, That is one damn fine Dragoon Frame Super Blackhawk you got there. I have the same one, an old 3 screw with a slightly longer barrel just like it and it is one fine arm I will never sell. Well, I guess with that particular frame they are all 3 screw unless they st...

I have all kinds of knives in the kitchen some fancy, professional ect but these are the ones that get used the most in the kitchen around here, Oh them are just some Old Hickories that you find on evey street corner you say, Au contraire Capitain. The top two are a matching pair of 10" and 12&...

Moss, That's what I'm talkin bout Beauutiful example of an old 6 pin and without a belly in the blade too from decades of rackin on a steel. NICE find, Need a space cleared for the tent? Done. Want a ridge pole, a tripod or a tent stake chopped out? No problem. Batten some "kitchen" wood o...

I agree with Wade. The knife has probably never been repinned. I have a couple of Westerns from that time frame that are exactly like that and from close inspection they have never been apart. They look exactly like the yours and Wades example. It just shows up sometimes in that era of knife. ALL th...

I know this sounds crazy but,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I use a humongous Old Hickory kitchen butcher knife, You can get the largest size on line for twenty bucks, so if you break it mistreating it using it for batoning and such you ain't out much.. But you can't break it, they are pretty tough. Well if you st...

Welcome home Stag man. Nice to have someone around who actually built the finest CV knives ever made. IMO For that alone I thank you and your wife for being a part of such a wonderful Knife co. Hope to see you around and look forward to your Western postings and well you know, the pics of those rare...

Congratulations Wade, You completed the Rodeo, I had to log in to give you a hand, I have not been around lately, I'm one of those poor saps that have to work. Plus my knife collecting got put on the back burner as I have had it with this sorry bank I had my mortgage at. Finally got mad and just pai...

Excellent work Orvet. Now I hope you understand why I withdrew from the knife roundtable. It was not the rest of you guys skills that I was worried about like you seem to have thought... it was mine. You seem to have been offended by my withdraw so I just let it die down and did not want to trash up...

Yes Lyle, No wonder I did not know what to call it. Ive never seen a config like that before. Plus now that I look closer, a knife THAT clean on a WS shound have a steep conical shaped center pin from a spinner and the end ones a slight chamfer instead of looking like santas lil helper worked all ni...

Thanks mumbly peg I did not even look at the sellers name yet but thanks for the heads up. I knew something about the thing looked to good to be true-"beyond belief". Especially the handles, ive never seen that color on a WS. I knew it was some kind of jack, I just never seen one with a ha...

Ok guys, I need help with one on the auction site now. Its beyond belief to cool for skcool and I don't even know what it is. It will probable run out of my price range for the moment anyways but I just wondering what you would call it. It ain't no whittler fer shur. http://www.ebay.com/itm/17209840...

No,no, what I think about it is no matter. I done know my sorry self ain't no playa. Just because I'm a different wired critter does not mean that the rest of the entire knife world will love it. And would pay dearly for such tedious work. What am I? Im just a slice of cornbread mate, pay no heed. A...

Very nice Caleb! RIP, spey blades.... ::shrug:: Nice looking mods Shoot, I was thinking get rid of the clip and make like a single blade spey farmer's trapper. I always liked the two blades so when one got dull you could use the other one and keep gettin after it. Thats why you would get a trapper ...

There is something about a blond in a short skirt holding a big knife that is so HAWT.
