All About Pocket Knives

I believe Jim used to be a guide and made knives.if it is the correct person when I started making knives ,I sent him knives to heat treat. They were made of 440C and he did a fabulous job on them. His heat treat oven was made by some of the scientists from NASA whom he took hunting around Ft. Stock...

John is also one of the nicest people you will ever meet. He loves that 52100 steel.

Only one I can find is Bob Jones out of Albuquerque, New Mexico. His mark was BJ in an oval.

Truegrit has carried some of the stainless stock cheaper than any other place I have found.

Overall it was 8 3/4.

Thanks for correcting my bad.

one just sold on 24hourcampfire today. Felt good in the hand and for large hands.

Mark I was told Jim had passed. Can you confirm this. I used to see him at the Chisolm Trail gun show when he would come by the table. A very nice person and craftman.

Two that are on the way tomorrow to Kentucky

made with Randy Haas Jr. damascus in a Tsanami pattern with 416 stainless guard and elephant ivory handles backed with thin red liner.Fancy sheath to complete it.

I've got one of the razors somewhere from when I lived in Monett in the 90's.

Ralph always shows up at the Wannamaker Show in Tulsa. He will be heading here the last of March.. Always a good visit when he is here.

I told a friend this morning that from yesterday afternoon until this morning that gas went up $.30 a gallon overnight.

Looks like an Indian Trader kit blade and guard with white tail handle. They had good steel and were very useful.

He truly followed the patterns of D.E Henry. Very nice knives.

Our garden has been doing very well and I WAS JUST WAITING ON THE TOMATOES. Lost the first two dozen due to blossom :( rot - the whole bottom of the tomatoe was just jelly. First time I had ever seen it. Went to Feed store and bought spray and used it now looks like I will have the rest of the crop ...

Why old Sam Elliot used them to dry shave them that don't know no better.

You can also get different thicknesses of 52100 from Ray Kirk. He forges round stock down to approximate thickness then runs it through his rolling mill to get nice flat stock for you to work with. Raker Knives

Railroad spikes do not have enough carbon to hold a edge very long. Even the ones marked HC only have .3 carbon and you need at least.5 carbon to work right. They polish out nice and look good but would only do for letter openers.
