Re: Parkers
Nice Jamie! If it only had 1 blade...!
Re: Parkers
Thanks Mark I too would prefer only one, but the condition it’s in I’m a happy camper, I’ll run across some of his kin and maybe a single blade will be in the mix.

Re: Parkers
As long as you're happy with your new knife Jamie it doesn't amount to a 2nd thought what anyone else thinks. Enjoy your knife bud!

Re: Parkers
I got this Parker/Frost from Matt at ""Sanders Knives" recently! It's a 6 1/2" oal slip-joint and has a SS drop-point blade with a long pull and partial swedge, NS bolsters, brass liners, and fiery MOP covers. This is a nice knife!
Re: Parkers
Wow, that knife glows, Marco! That is gorgeous.

Re: Parkers
Thanks Rev! That's how it looks in my laptop's poor pictures, in person it's even nicer.

Re: Parkers
Do you find yourself in a dark place currently Jamie, cuz of all the minds you could have mentioned Charlie would have been the last I'd have expected? Besides, he's dead and has nothin' going through his mind, the least of being what kind of knife to build for his ole' pal Madmarco!

Re: Parkers
I recently received this 9 1/8" oal Parker slip-joint that features a SS Tanto blade, NS bolsters, brass liners and pins, and beautifully aging white camel bone covers! Weighs-in at about 5 oz.'s and arrived sharpened. It displays a fine fit and finish considering it's age, and has a pull of 5 accompanied by a half-stop and loud firm detent. There are Parker markings on the tangs and blade, and it was built in Japan. One teeny flaw is an uneven run-up, but that can be overlooked on an otherwise great knife.
The seller told me some history about my new knife, as to it's validity I'll likely never know. He said the knife came from the Secret Service agent who was assigned to guard Ronny Reagan and it was with him in his pocket the day Reagan was shot in 1981. He continued saying, the same agent again had my knife in his pocket when he witnessed the Twin Towers collapsing in NYC in 2001...! As cool as the story is, to me it doesn't seem feasible that the same agent 20 yrs. later was involved in another serious incident, I mean, how long can those agents continue working under the circumstances they face everyday? He gave me this information AFTER I'd paid, so a sales pitch doesn't seem likely, but still...!
All I know is, if I've been bamboozled that seller had better sleep with one eye open! lol!
True story or not I like this knife, and, it will now keep it's brother company as seen in the last picture!

Re: Parkers
Yesterday afternoon, this pocket knife arrived in a group or lot of pocket knives that I purchased. It now becomes my first example to be posted under this topic or thread. I did NOT purchase the group or lot of pocket knives to obtain this particular pocket knife. However, it will get added to my general, foreign born, pocket knife accumulation. It is a PARKER CUT. CO., "CHINCHILLA", one blade, two tang stamps, blade etchings, 2 3/4" closed, one spring, lockback, pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says, "PARKER CUT. CO. (over) eagle logo or symbol" The main blade back tang stamp says, "SURGICAL STEEL (over) JAPAN" The blade etch says, "CHINCHILLA" along with an etched image of one. This pocket knife seems to have shed its scales. The blade has a soft half stop, but a good opening snap and a good closing snap. This pocket knife is still in GOOD condition. It did need a VERY small amount of cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.
