All About Pocket Knives

I just launched my first missile!
It’s headed waaaaay South.
Feels pretty good!

Did you double check your azimuth and elevation?

I think I’m on target...
Oh, this is fun!

Received a couple awesome bombs from my buddy Ed Landers!! My wife called me at work and told me Ed had sent me a package in the mail. I broke the sound barrier getting home. For those that don't know him Ed is a fine gentleman who I am proud to call a friend. Without further ado here are my newest additions to my pile!! Thank you Ed!!

Woodwalker you have been blown out of the water with those two. Wonderful brands and wonderful old knives. E.L. is a friend indeed.

I'll just "amen" doglegg's comments and add the initials scratched on the mark side handle and shield of the LF&C make it interesting, wonder who?

Thank you Doglegg. First LFC for me. Did you see the initials put on there my a previous owner? And that Kbar fish knife is a big one. It will clean my next mess of crappie! Nice guy that Ed!

Thank you Phillip! I thought that was cool too! I was hoping it showed in my pictures! O Ed floored me!!

Woodwalker, Ed did you right with those two knives. Ed also sent me a knife I received yesterday. Definitely a handful. Thanks Ed, your a true friend

Ed is killing it! Lots of nostalgia in that knife and a knice knife.

Two nicer fellas I don’t know. Kevin (Woodwalker) and Keith (Espn77) I am proud to call you my friends. I am overjoyed that you liked the knives. Woodwalker had mentioned to me that he wanted a LF&C and I had that one in a lunchbox with several other knives so I thought I would send it to him. The KABAR was just an added bonus. My friend Keith is a true cowboy so I thought he might like the Colt I sent him. Roy Rogers was one of my heroes and as the knife says “The King of the Cowboys”. I am proud to call these guys friends.

Another great and generous bomb! Well done, Ed.
The shape of the Colt knife also got my attention. It could almost be a "moose", I like the shape of the secondary but don't know what to call it. What is the closed length? Was that one made in a plain everyday model? And who made it?

Ed & Kevin, good on the both of ya, gifter and giftee. Those Colts are some fine cutlery.

Philip, if I were asked to guess (and I wasn't asked) I would guess the Colt was made in the same factory by the same folks that make Rough Riders. It's just designed and finished like a Rough Rider. One man's opinion.

I have a Colt or two.

This one left here in a give-away and the last I knew it was living with Old Hunter (the Colonel Bruce) I've had this Doc for about a year. Nice as any of my Case Doc's. This mini-trapper is also well made.

Knice work Ed!!!!

Here I was watchin' the eastern sky, wonderin' about what was goin' on with the hurricane on the other side of the state and I got bombed from the north! Blindsided if you will!
Our good cyber friend djknife13 surprised me with one of the G-96 knives he came across several weeks ago. The tang says JET-AER CORP on the pile side, the mark side is stamped Japan.
It's a pretty decent knife, the leather sheath is impressive and I already let the thing bite me!
Thanks Dave!

Congrats Philip. Great shot DJK. Your bomb sight is perfectly aligned.

Wow, that bomb did some real damage. Nice shot!

Oops, sorry about the collateral damage. Hope the knife behaves itself a little more and you can tame it down a little before it bites again.____Dave

Well look what I got "Bombed" with, not the cup, but the keychain tool. If you can't read it, it's one of the old slogans, "NAVY, It's not just a job, it's an adventure." Being well aware of my Navy roots, my good friend Scott in Florida bombed me with this little jewel and he added a thumb flashlight.
Thank you very much Scott, much appreciated and a complete surprise.

Congrats Chief. Stuff like that is just special.
You done good Scott.

Perfect knife for a perfect target Scott.

Great bombing! A cool and appropriate knife. I’m a sucker for those little flashlights. I don’t know about yours, but mine has an actual on/off, one of the few flat keychains that does. Bright, too.

My pleasure sir!! You are welcome!!

At todays meeting of the Stingy Creek Knife Collectors Club here at my house, two of our esteemed members finally got to open what has become a "time bomb". A mysterious box from Canada arrived in my mailbox a few weeks ago addressed to my granddaughters, Abbi and Autumn. Unfortunately it arrived just before I was set to fly off across the country for a vacation. I've been back home a week now but today was the first chance I've had to spend any time with these two young ladies and consequently the first chance they've had to open the mysterious package from the north. Inside they found two very cool knives each, a pair of cute stuffed bears and some very interesting cards along with a nice note. All this was a bomb from Zoogirl here on AAPK and was greeted with much excitement from the recipients.
Ann thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful gifts to my gals. They were absolutely thrilled, and knowing their gifts came from another country seemed to just add to their excitement. As you can see from the photos the knives have already become a permanent part of their collections.

Here's some photos:
