All About Pocket Knives

Thanks for your help Ken

What is its purpose? I received this from a friend, it is very sharp and am confused by the sheaf. some markings on the blade.

So I have been keeping some packets of silica in the drawer with my knives. Am I making a mistake and should I be worried about drying out my stag and bone handles?
Also does Renwax accomplish the same thing as mineral oil in protecting the stag / bone handles? Thanks in advance for any help.

Can something as large as a moose with a blade at each end be considered a pen knife or is it just to large? Yes, a pen knife must have a pen blade. These were used to trim quills to use as...

Here are a couple of trays of Tony Bose collabs. I love them all, but some more than others.

you've got to love the stag on that one.

I'm no expert but it looks like a nice find and good price.

Thankyou Qtcut5. I appreciate the comment. I do have a Stag mini trapper, but only wanted to show some modern patterns from Case. I am missing a couple though and will continue to look for the right ones.

Here are some Modern Case XX patterns handled in stag.

Humpback Half Whittler
Seahorse Whittler
Sow Belly
Sway Back Gent
Cheetah Cub
Mini Copperlock
Saddlehorn

I previously posted this box of Case xx stag. I really expected some comments. I was thinking that they are from the earlier of the XX stags. I am trying again, hoping for at least an attaboy.

Here is some stag from the XX era. I believe it would be from the early XX era, but would like an experts opinion. My other XX era stag looks more like the stag of 65-69.

Here are my Greenies.

I have a counterfeit tested era stag knife that is in surprisingly good shape. tight, good snap, etc. The counterfeiter should make legit knives, it is that good. I have been mixed about whether I should hit it with a shotgun or use it in the shop. My frugal side says use it and beat it up, but the ...

I don't know anything about it, but looks to me like a knife some handyman made for himself 150 years ago.

Here is a 06244 and a Tiny Muskrat. Though not technically a stockman because there are only two blades they are on a Stockman frame.

Our church does that as well, it is a great charity from what we can tell.

I am no expert, but I believe that the green bone one with the bombshell shield is a Case Classic. Not the same as Case XX

Well, there has to be a photo to follow....

These are all gifts from friends here on AAPK!!!

Looks Like you have some great friends

Not really my favorites; but for someone, somewhere they may be. If anyone knows who they are I am interested. All three are Soligen. I believe they are from WWII time frame.

here are a couple of my favorites.
XX - Green bone
USA no dot - in Red bone

I agree Lefty, you dodged a bullet on that one. That is Stag and as earlier posts stated true greenbone was not in that era.

Found an pic of one without the bail in good condition
