All About Pocket Knives

Thanks for all the tips, everyone! I tried the drilling method, and the handles came off in about two minutes flat. I was sure they would be glued on for some reason, but I guess that just adds to manufacturing time and costs, huh? Anyway, I will be gluing the new ones on and adding mosaic pins to d...

Steve,
Got my knives today and they are great!!

Thanks!!

Dave

Good call, Phil, hadn't thought of that. Hope this works....

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this question or not, but here goes. Every year I do a little project as Christmas presents for my work team. This year, I would like to give them all customized carving knives and forks for the turkey or ham I will also give them. I was thinking about sta...

Put me down for $40 on this one.

I have several S&Ms, but only carry one on a semi-regular basis. It's the horticulturists knife from series 16 or 17, I believe. But I do like it a LOT!

Dale,
BEAUTIFUL work!!!

Dave

VERY NICE work, Dale!!!

Nice job on that file work! Also, I've used something called inlace before in woodturning. Not sure if it's the same stuff, but if it is, how did you form it? The stuff I used had to be mixed to a paste and used to fill holes or grooves. But a knife handle is pretty open.

Kaleb,
That unknown filework pattern will definitely be on one of my future work orders! Great job on all those knives!!

Dave

Beautiful work, as always, Kaleb!!

Ill start this one off at $40.

If you were just looking for a pic of a Swinden type knife apart, with rivets intact, then I also have such a pic. Note: It was a Muskrat pattern, 77OT, with a broken blade. Hope this helps, Dale Dale, I'm not ANYWHERE NEAR ready to start working on folders myself yet, but I'm now curious. I may be...

I believe that's one of the contract Schrades that was made by either Camillus or Bear MGC after Taylor bought the Schrade rights after the bankruptcy. All the original Schrade tubes I've ever seen say the knife is made in Ellenville, NY, USA. Of course, that's just my opinion, and as you know, we a...

I only have one, and it's in rough shape....

Just plain SWEET!!! Beautiful knife and beautiful work, Kaleb!

I have several of them. VERY nice knives. ::tu:: I use my amber bone half-moonpie trapper as a carry knife every few days or so. It feels nice in the hand and fits well in my pocket. The only one I have that I'm not real fond of is the Cannitler. The blades just look a bit out of proportion to the h...

VERY nice one! And $36.00 is a great deal on it!

Beautiful knives and beautiful work!

I started out with Schrade folders, but have expanded to include some various hawkbills, some Case, and whatever else strikes my fancy when I see it.

Sweet! I'm trying to work up my nerve to try rebuilding a knife. Probably going to be after the first of the year, as I have too many Christmas presents to finish in my wood shop right now.

That knife is just STUNNING! And thanks for the play-by-play on the work!

I just didn't think it fit on the Ebony one

That is some sharp filework! I like that pattern.

Decided to send a couple knives off to Muskrat Man for a little work. I sent him a Schrade LB3 and an old Schrade Walden 136 I picked up on ebay for about $6. Anyway, the first two pics are what I sent to him, and after is what he sent back. That's buckeye burl with red spacers on the LB3. Black ash...

Beautiful knives, and beautiful work! Makes me really look forward to getting back the couple knives I sent him for work!
