All About Pocket Knives

Hi all, I have been working on my first wood project since Late Feb, this year. I would like to share the " Off Topic General Discussion" area of the forum here. Not sure why it had to be tucked away when from the beginning it was to be a " Knife Display", as such..... Not genera...

As we depart from one, we have to move on to another to stay alive.. Well as a first, I think my first customer will be pleased. I am happy this is my first crack a wood working Without any other mistakes other than my own. : I promise there were several I wish not to speak to.... My cost of course ...

Actually, The sunfish pattern was widely used to cut rope in mercantile stores of the day. Done by beating the back side with a batton method... BH

Wayne, I agree with you regarding the stamping. I have never seen one, pre 1931, that boldly stamped nor with the rounded corners. Never seen one with jigging like that either. The one thing that strikes me even more odd is the master blade. I suppose they may have had one like that but... The clip ...

Keep It Bob!!! It is what it is Very hard workin knife here. Catt just picked one up too. Seems to be very popular at this time...

Anyway, Nice work on TJ's Looks good, Works Good. A nice knife to have when in trouble Bonehead

Congrats on that bad boy! TJ just had one redone, tuned up.... They are real knives made to work Nice pick up, even at the higher end of $ They are well worth the dough. BH

TJ, Now that's a knife. ::woot:: They were blued, Called Blackened in the Day as Philco mentioned. As in your hand you know it was a knife that many including myself would pick over many, as a knife to have as a survival knife, that includes anything made today. I have one like it and would choose i...

Thanks guys. I thought the etch meant a New York knife. It's mighty snappy. Mickey, there may be a NY stamping further down the tang hidden by the bolster. Can't see it if there is. Thanks again. I believe the NYKC knife is an earlier version of the hammer brand logo. I know I read that some of the...

Hey guys, a lot of warm hearts towards our cars of the past. I love the newer vehicles for transportation, but they seem to lack something from years gone by......

Hello All, In addition to pocket knives, I have always been interested in Older cars, Specifically the Corvair. Many people know the Corvair as doom and gloom from Mr. Ralph Nader.... ::td:: Anyway there is much more to be said about the car and its legacy. Does anyone here own a Turbocharged car to...

Hi Fellas, Another couple weekends ought to do it. Today we finished most of the upper trim work. The couple pics can give one a view of the small but valuable space in such a small cabinet. All that is left to do is upper compartment cover and lower base trim. Of course some touch up if necessary. ...

Jerry, I did put a couple of positions in if someone was so inclined to move the shelves. However my real motivation was for aesthetics and how the simple system seems to match the period of useful designs. I ended up inverting the sides from these pics to face outward. The cabinet is so small there...

Worked on the Shelf supports today. Tempered glass with a pencil grind edges look really cool in the light, the edges appear green in color. BH

It's hard when your honest to a fault Mossdancer, ::disgust:: but then inner peace is worth it. I tend to think the same as Charlie's post. I also don't believe this qualification was created to be absolute, there can be many variables, especially in older used pieces. It seems that with all the exa...

IM,

That looking Glass LG Really does it for me. Very nice Pick Ups! BH

Nice, it's up and running here. I thought it may have smaller... Thanks for sharing. BH

Had some time today to work on the project. Choose the Trim for the top, and added some 1/4" Oak Scroll design. I planned this in my head all along but didn't know what the design should be. I opted for the same profil I used in the upper crest. eg. starting in the center the crown shape for th...

Thanks for the nice comments Guys!!

Phil, I don't spoil him at all, This one and another about his size sleep under the covers with me since they were born.

Hey Folks, I was a bit unhappy a week ago or so when my dryer went out, what can you say..16 years of service is more than fine.. It ran so well until the end I thought of it as Forever. This is one thing we should never do......... Anyway, My purchase of a new one for $299 made me feel good, But no...

Added some light...

Wlf,

Thanks for you comment. It is really a fun thing for me to do. Yes, heavily flavored with old cutlery, but then again old cutlery is really my passion. Creating cabinets like this bring me back to the old days, seems to fit very well for me. Almost no effort, and more like total fun.

WAZU,

Yes yes yes the grizzly is a well sought after 'BiG BoY' What a shame. God bless your grandad, he must have known how cool this knife was. BH

Nice Sigs All around. Being a sig man myself here are a couple of my fav's.

Jerry, as a precision shooter I suspect you might like the 2nd one here. That said It has remained a virgin so far other than Sigs Test target they supplied me with

BH

Jerry,

If you are looking for a real animal ' hangun Variety' to accomplish stuff with. I am very pleased with the sig Sauer P226 Tac Opps P226 in the .40 cal Promise with 15+ and (4) mags you will not need anything else. BH

Jerry, Between me and you, the Sig Round your are speaking of is all about money, There is NO Gain at all other than spending (3) time the money for a interesting round of ammo. I asked the same question to myself and many shooting partners prior to selecting the other capable calibers. All said, Be...
