All About Pocket Knives

Not sure which was the Wikipedia clue. Tried searching those dates in Wikipedia and came up with nothing. Went through the pocketknife brand list in LGIV. The only one (that I saw) that gives specific dates of 1918 to 1925 was DeLuxe. Also says this was a mark used by John Salm of Torrance CA?? 275 ...

Haven't looked at this thread for quite a while. Great additions to the thread, knowtracks!! Real nice picstures.

By 1994 Frank Buster "Cuz" had built over 300 different three blade "Stockman" knives with various handle materials, measuring 3-¾". I have many Fight'n Rooster knives, mostly in the stockman pattern pictured below. It's worth another look ; Old Folder has such a great disp...

I think we must have lost him, J.O'.

That is one of my favorite NKCA knives, RancherinAZ.
Nice collections redrider and rookie.

I also use an excel spreadsheet, although, I am a few years behind on it.

Sorry Joe, don't know how I skipped over your post. Lovely batch of 72s. Also thanks for the comment on my Case knives.
Also thanks to doglegg and tvic for the comments.

The old ones were Winchesters and Napanochs.

And the real early ones (1905 to 1923) were made by Walden.

Dan, does that mean manufactured by Schrade for Simmons or Shapleigh Hardware before the Val-Test era, manufactured by Schrade for Val-Test, or manufactured and sold by Schrade using Frost Cutlery's trademark? If ea42 is correct about it dating to the early1940s, I guess the answer is self evident....

I usually affiliate that shield and tang stamp with Schrade made Keen Kutters.

Thanks, Ivoryman. Are you going to be at the OKCA show in April? Hoping to meet up with you again.
