All About Pocket Knives

I was pleased to land this the other day, a big H&B clasp knife 5 1/2" closed, shows honest wear, plenty of patina. I like the H&B stamp on the blade and the 5 handle scale pins. Hard snap and half stop. I like these big ol' knives. Let's see your old H&Bs

Awww! It's a cute wittle pen knife! How sweet. . . . . if you are
GODZILLA!!! Huge!! Nice!!

Nice one! I don't have any H&B knives right now, but all the ones I've seen have been real nice.

Great catch MM . I really like that long nail nick and swedge on the blade. Very classy s-k

snaged this hawk a few weeks back

Kaleb,
I am gonna have to get some snatching lessons from you, my friend. You really know how to snatch em knives. Nice knives there.

I have had some H&B knives in the past and like the deep etch or stamp on the face of the blade also. They are some well made knives. I just picked the Warrior up last week. I cleaned it up a bit and the main blade so some snap left but the secondary blade is dead. Nice iron hardware all around and I love the pattern, bolsters and the way the spring come all the way around on the secondary blade. It's about 3 1/4" closed

Thanks Kaleb for starting the post.

thats a beauty Mike, love the shape and the matchstriker pull

It has been a couple years since anyone has posted in this thread.

Are there any more H & B knives in your collections or in your pockets?

How `bout this one Dale?

Very Nice!

Thank you,
Dale

This old H&B was my Dads. Its now my favorite knife.

knifenut, that knife is beautiful. How long is it closed.

And really special that it was your dads. Good for you!

H&B used some very nice looking Stag

Thanks for showing it

FRJ, Its 3 and 3/4" long closed. I think if my house was on fire its the one thing I'd probably run back in to grab.

Here's a couple:
A sterling silver scaled 3 blade with original pouch.
A folding hunter.

I have a couple more but can't find the pics;I'll have to dig them out and re-shoot them.

Very nice!
I have a weakness for any Wharncliffe!

I'm wit chu Dale.

Heres the only H&B ive got .Its been pretty well used all these years but i like the knife
strong snap still holds an edge and is easy to carry in the pocket with great handles

Here are two that I have scanned..

Here's the only Humanson & Beckley I have. Measures 4 inches with the letter B inscribed on the shield and 1911 on the bolster. Slim.

so many beautiful knives from CT.

Man They're all very nice,but that H&B is sweet travman!

Here is a new one to me (but how many people has this particular knife been new to? hmmm....). An old Hunter with jigged bone.
Can any one tell me any info on this type of jigged bone? Where it gets its red coloration from?
Also, there are a couple of small gaps between the scales and the bolsters, would I be correct in thinking this is due to shrinkage of the bone?
(edit: it has been pointed out to me that the jigged bone is reworked, just wanted to posted that here)

Nice old H&B,picture should enlarge.

thanks for looking
