Joe I was just going over my credit card bill for the month and I'm pretty sure buying more knives (than I already do) is NOT the solution.

Don't say that, Phil. You just need to properly prioritize your expenses. I mean, are groceries and running water really all that important?philco wrote:Joe I was just going over my credit card bill for the month and I'm pretty sure buying more knives (than I already do) is NOT the solution.

Awesome collection of Remington Pen Knives espn77
Joe - you continue to post beauties - that Empire and Northfield no doubt have my attention as you may have guessed ...

Hey Phil - Hard not to get swayed by the knives posted to date in this thread - just put Pen Knives on your list for future possibilities ... As they say "we can'y buy them all" though we wish we could

Re: Homage to Traditional Pen Knives
#1 Adams & Brother tuxedo.
#2 Argyle Cutlery Co interframe pen with faux tortoise shell inserts.
#3 Asbro Germany. I guess this is a smoker's knife(too small to be a rigging knife).What is unusual is the blades lock by first opening them and then sliding them slightly back into the handle.
#4 Aaron Burkinshaw tuxedo.Sadly the secondary blade is broken;otherwise the knife is near mint.
#5 A 3 line Camillus coffin handle with fancy celluloid handles.
#6 Capital Cutlery Germany with sterling silver covers.
#7 Cattaraugus 20673 with pearl handles.
#8 & 9 Canton Cutlery Co. ad knife(both sides)
#10 A sterling silver fruit knife with blades at opposite ends;an unusual configuration for them.

#2 Humason & Beckley with sterling silver covers and original purse.
#3 An unmarked knife with 14k gold covers and original purse.
#4 Clay Cutlery Co Andover NY fob knife with handles of alternating gold & silver fused together.
#5 A Colonial giveaway knife(original purse not shown).This knife was probably a "third"(worse than a second!)and apparently given away as a promotion. No wonder they went out of business!

Re: Homage to Traditional Pen Knives
Great topic Lee. I've got just a few and mine are all modern.
Parker National Blade Pen knife. I believe this is from the early 1980's. A.G. Russell Gentleman's Pen knife. Current production. This is a sweet little knife. (click to invert) Buck 705 from 1992. And a Case 6279. I forget the year on this one. Sometime in the 1970's.

- Mike - all beautiful knives you posted for sure - but that Empire is an awesome spectacle of a knife - The way the blades are shaped to contour with the swell-center and ballon bolsters is really cool (and the spring must also contour with the frame), and tortoise shell (maybe celluloid but my guess is tortoise - hard to tell without an upclose look sometimes) is way over the top!!! Just plain awesome!! I keep copying back to it to just stare and .. BTW - what is the closed length of that knife??galvanic1882 wrote:Empire
