All About Pocket Knives

Cool! I haven't ever seen a knife marked like that before...

Very nice knives. My only lobster, a Keen Kutter.

Dan

That's a beautiful knife!

Thank you, knifegirl.

Dan

Here's a few more.

Kathy, I am glad that I sold the knife to you. Evere since I showed it to you years ago at the Lewisburg show I knew it was just a matter of time before I sold it to you. Here are the only 3 I have left.

The Kipsi Kut is one that still don't believe I own, it's a rare one for sure!!! The others are H & JW King etched pearl and the last, and am not sure if all would say a lobster, is a sterling handled Napanoch.

Mike,

Wow.... those are 3 rare knives! I am not sure which one I would say I like the best? They are all fantastic. I am unfamiliar with Kipsi Kut? Do you know more about it?

I am honored to be the new owner of the Electric. I showed it to an old friend & long time collector yesterday. He said "that knife makes me scared to even hold it!" He told me if I dropped it, I would never smile again & he is probably right.

Thanks again!

Kathy

Kipsi Kut was located in Poughkeepsie NY and I only know of about 8 of these that are floating around. Same town as Nagle Re-Blade production.

Here is my other favorite lobster knife... an ivory Northfield lobster. It is illustrated in the 1869 catalog as a six blade, but is listed as a three blade.

What is the extra pin for on the back handle?

I think that is my favorite knife you have in your collection

Dimitri,

Thanks for the compliment! For you to say it would be a "favorite" says alot!

I can't see a reason for the extra pin other than maybe stability? The knife really looks to be unfooled with. Here is one view from the side with the nail file. I can't get a good scan of the other side because of the curve in the knife.

I will ask Bret what he thinks when he gets home.

Dimitri:
I think it is for the additional spring for the other blade.It probably only goes halfway through the knife because if it went all the way through.the master blade couldn't close. JMO.

Kathy , Danno & Mike sweet knives !
top one is a Universal, LF&C.conn, bottom is a Walden Knife CO.

Now... that's what I am talkin' about!! Very cool knives, Paul! I especially like the Walden. Drop dead gorgeous!

Kathy.......thanks

Kathy, that Northfield is just beautiful.

All the knives in this thread are very nice!

I'll contribute some.

Here are some three blade Robesons.

Here are some four blades and multiblades.

You have an amazing collection Charlie!

Verrrry nice indeed! The one with the tweezers in the pearl is amazing. The skill & the patience that the craftsman must have had to be able to drill out the pearl to fit them without cracking the astonishes me...

Here are 2 more I just picked up. The tortoise is Kipsi Kut, I have been trying to get this knife for over a year now and came home from the NCCA show with it.

The other is Occident Cutlery, check out the pearl on it!!! Seattle Hardware trademark.

You come up with some of the most perfect stuff. I wish I had that kind of restraint. I should get my lobsters out and add them but I keep forgetting.

Mike,

You have done it again! Great knives!

Kathy

This one hasn't seen day light for a while.

JKB,

I really like that one! It doesn't look like it has seen much use..

Thanks kg888, I could buff it a little but usually I just keep my knives oiled up and enjoy them.
