All good looking knives muskratt. The bottom photo: is that one all metal or .....what?

The warncliff bladed work knife is Jerry's fault. He posted a photo of one the other day and well you know the rest. The toe nail just because I didn't have one and now that I do what the he$% do I do with it. It's a heavy dude.

You could get that toenail scrimshawed. That looks like a RR. Gary Harbour scrims the RR Toenails. He told me the bone on the RR is the best bone he has come across for scrimshawing.

Today's mail delivery produced these two for the zoo. Another Imperial "deer head" with serrated main blade and another Imperial "moose head" fixed blade, no sheath. I bought this "moose head" because it has a different tang stamp than my other one and it has no fish scaler as the spine.

So that's why it has that blade? As a fish scaler? I just saw an older Böker on the German EBay with a serrated main blade and wondered why it had that. Never occurred to me that it was a fishing knife. You learn something new every day I guess.
Thanks N_W_NY!

No Tom, I'm talking about the fixed blade knife. Besides the blade, some of them have the fish scaler on the top (the spine).

Hi Slip,

ooops. Should have read that more carefully. Sorry. So are the serrated blads on the Imperial & Böker fishing knives or are they intended for cutting food? And, are you a big Imperial fan? I brought 2 back from the US but I'd be willing to trade em if you or any Imperial fans wants em. https://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/kn ... tart=19875
The white one has advertising for a Co. in Ohio on one side though. Don't matter to me, just saying. Just enjoy helping where I can.

Hi Tom. As far as the serrated blades, I don't think that they are strictly for fishing at all. I believe they are to make cutting whatever, easier. To answer your other question, no, I'm not a big Imperial fan or collector at all. It's just that the Imperial name happens to be on most of the animal head knives. I just started out with one "deer head" pocket knife and now I have, with more on the way, 8 "deer head", 3 "longhorn steer head" pocket knives and 3 "moose head" fixed blade knives (12 are stamped Imperial, 1 is stamped KINGSTON and 1 is stamped COLONIAL). Thank you for the kind offer, but no thank you. Take care, Skip.

Very good looking Canoes Elmo. I'm starting to like that Pattern more each day.

This one came all the way from HI ... thanks Q !! I've owned a handful of 207w mini trappers over the years, the quality of this 2019 model surpasses all of them ... not a single flaw can be found (perfect bone fitted sides, above average snap on both blades, both blades center well when closed, no lateral blade wobble, crisp (not fishy) half stops ... this is in my handful of the best of the best I've ever seen come from Case).

[Quick Steel]

This Moore Maker Lockback surprised me with its quality. The Bois d Arc wood is attractive. Google informs me that the meaning of the wood's name is "bow wood." This because the Indians sought it out to make their bows. The F&F are very impressive. Almost imperceptible fitting of covers to the bolster. Same with the runup. Very good sharpness.

Very nice QS!!

[TPK]

That's an excepionally nice Trapper Lansky! Great find!

And the wooden handels on that Moore Maker are Top!!! QS
I guess if the pieces of wood the Indians had were to short for bows, they just made knife handels out of it?

Talk to ya latter guys,

Tom

[Quick Steel]

Well now, that's a thought Tom. And it seems to me quite possible.

woodwalker, glad you like it.

[doglegg]

Cool one QS. I'm glad that Bois d Arc has a use other than fence post and bows and hedgerows. I rather like it on knife handles.

TPK, my daughter in law and grace is from Germany and from her I've learned that Germans have a sense of humor,......and they take it very seriously!

Got this Robeson/Camillus in the mail today thanks to TripleF Knife procurement services.
Robeson knives are not very common in our part of the world for some reason. I've only found a couple and when I found the 1st one I though I had hit the jackpot! Then Mr. Charlie Noyes/RobesonsRme.com informed me it was a Camillus made Robeson.

Besides the Moore Maker, today's mail brought me this modified Boker Barlow by Jeffin from his AAPK store-Recycled Blades. Excellent fit.
Jeff listed it as 'Good." However, the very minor imperfections he pointed out are hard to find. I would rate it as at least very good to excellent.
Very solid half stops. The blade is impressively sharp.

[JnBama]

First pocket knife purchased since joined AAPK ordered from Ebay Camillus JR Trapper .22LR Rimfire Classic 1993. Cleaned up with Never Dull , etching on the blade is ok just looks thin in photo. From what I've learned so far no wobble , no gaps plenty of snap and half stop. Not crazy about the color but do like the cartridge inlay , need a .22 rifle now.

[doglegg]

Sweet little muskrat Philip.
QS Jeff's stuff always catches my eye. And that one looks really good. And it being Boker it speaks with your favorite German accent.
JnBama, that rimfire series is great little set of knives.
