Re: Mail Call !-Post your new pick-ups here............
Nice Hunter Skip!
Got this one today.
Been thinking this could be a knife type for me to concentrate on in my collecting ambitions (next to Case of course).
They show up kinda often on the bay with different amounts of blades, sometimes with scissors or clippers & at prices that don't hurt my budget that much. I'll be watching for these types of knives over the next few weeks to see what I can come up with.
Is there a name for this type of knife? Or a thread here for them?
Thanks,
Tom

Postal carrier braved the light snow that was starting to fall to deliver this one. My pictures when the sun comes back out. Very positive half stops and loud, sharp snap. I'm pretty impressed for what it is.

Today I received this dark red rogers bone camillus 69 slender 4'' stockman. Cost 20 bucks. I think it was worth buying.
My favorite coined liners are the ones like this that camillus did. A noticeable classy touch without having too much going on. Perfect.

Today, my daily trip to the post office produced this knife. It's a Camillus, split spring, whittler pocket knife. I gave it a very mild once over, took some pictures and here it is. ALL the pictures are posted in the Camillus forum. Here: viewtopic.php?f=63&t=65329&p=787773#p787773

Paul, that is one fine ol' Camillus 69!
Skip, what is the pattern number of your prize?
I received 2 Queens today thanks to Scott.
One is obviously a Barlow pattern #22 or #23, this one has the clip main blade and the other, a little tiny 2 1/2" pen knife. The little pen has rounded bolsters and according to my limited Queen info it could be a pattern # 5, 6, 7, or 8. Help Bruno!
Both are real bone, the saw cut Barlow and then Winterbottom bone on the little feller. Treefarmer

Re: Mail Call !-Post your new pick-ups here............
First let me say that I'm not making fun of TripleF (Bro. Scott) but I would like to share an amusing package that came today from West Central Florida:
I must say each and every time I have purchased a knife from Scott it has been very well protected from damage that might occur in transit. Another knife came wrapped in a Nautica sunglass case, can't beat that for originality!
Thanks, Scott. Hope I get many more well wrapped knives from you.

Miss Joy wondered what had happened to the lid. Scott said he sells them on Ebay.

Re: Mail Call !-Post your new pick-ups here............
TPK, you have a lobster pattern knife. "Lobster" refers to a folding knife in which the spring runs along the center of the handles allowing for blades on both top & bottom 'decks'. Some have 4 blades and some have even more. "Blades" is used to mean tools as well, like a manicure blade (nail file) or scissors. Handles can be stainless steel, gun-metal, silver, gold, ivory or pearl, or synthetic like celluloid.TPK wrote: ↑Fri Jan 17, 2020 6:47 pm Nice Hunter Skip!

These were a very popular carry knife for a 'gentleman' or anyone for certain occasions like church, wedding, etc. especially in Europe and a bit less so in USA. There are a great many vintage German lobster knives and many are high end originally very expensive knives made by the top manufacturers like Henckels and Hen & Rooster.
By WW II interest in lobster knives declined and now very few people are interested in carrying or collecting these. This means auction prices are usually very low for what is often an exquisitely made knife. If you like this style of knife you can build up quite a fine collection for not a lot of money.

Thanks for the information & for your time kj. It's good to here some of the history behind these knives. On the bay over here they are often listed as "gentalman or gentalmen" knives. Actually, I just got another one today. It's a Carl Schlieper Eye Brand & is in very good condition. I'm more intersted in American folders like Camillus, Case, Quenn ect. but it's almost impossible to find them used & at a fair price over here. Anyways, I'm in the middle of a trade deal with this one but if the trade doesn't happen to work out I would gladly add it to my little pile. I think I'll be collecting more of these in the future. Hope I find a nice Hen & Rooster sometime.
Thanks for the Info & here are some pictures of my newest "lobster".

But I don't really like corkscrews on knives that much. If your not a wine drinker it seems like wasted effort.
A punch, some scissors or another blade are more my taste. I really like scissors on them for some reason or other.
However, I just had an idea. I could see if one of those mini screwdrivers from a SAK knife would screw down into the corkscrews on so many German made knives. If so, I would find them a bit more useful. Not that I have ever needed one of those mini screwdrivers before but who knows. LOL! Maybe to tighten a screw on some mini scissors?

Re: Mail Call !-Post your new pick-ups here............
Tom, i too like lobster knives with scissors as it is a very helpful tool. Ebay.com (USA) often has vintage lobster knives listed and many have scissors and were made in Germany. You are in Germany so i would think they are very common there ?
Are there any restrictions on these little knives coming into Germany ?

Re: Mail Call !-Post your new pick-ups here............
picked these up today at the flea market
Re: Mail Call !-Post your new pick-ups here............
I have started growing partial to these "Camper" or "Scout" style knives. This one is my first Western.
I found it at an antique store while looking for beaters and parts knives. At $15 it wasn't a steal, but it wasn't a bad price, either. With Delrin scales, I am guessing that it is from the mid 1970's?
The blades are all good and snappy. It has just a slight wobble on the main, barely noticeable, but all others are tight.
