I like to play the Ponies and their clones.

The Camillus Cutlery Company was one of the oldest knife manufacturers in the United States with roots dating back to 1876. The company manufactured Camillus branded knives and was a prolific contractor for other knife brands up until its last days in 2007 when the company filed for bankruptcy.

I did NOT purchase the group or lot of pocket knives to obtain this particular pocket knife. But, I was quite surprised and pleased when I discovered it and it most certainly is a keeper. It is a BOKER U.S.A., pattern 9908, two blades, two tang stamps, 2 7/8" closed, pocket knife. The main blade tang stamp reads "BOKER - U.S.A." The main blade, other side, tang stamp reads "9908" with the tree logo. It is in VERY GOOD condition. It needed some very minor cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

I added a couple more Pony Jacks to my group. Picked these up from Knifeaholic, and very pleased with them. Both are tang stamped KUTMASTER UTICA N.Y. U.S.A. Both have strong snap on all blades, and no wobble. One has Brown Bone handles with a Winter Bottom bone jig and traditional style bolsters. Blades are tight, strong snap but do have some wear and scratches. The second knife is a bare end Pony Jack with long front bolster. It has synthetic (possibly celluloid) handles in what I would call a green watermelon rind pattern. The handles do have some slight warpage, but I have plans for this one. I did do a warm oil soak and wiped them down. Here are some pics.

Added another to my Pony Jack stable. It is a McGrew knife Company 710MGB Single blade Pony Jack with yellow delrin handles. It was made by Camillus and is the same pattern and size as the Camillus 71Y. It is like new, with the original box and papers. It has no wear, no evidence of carry and the blade has the original finish and has not been re-sharpened.

Thanks Skip. But..... unwittingly I find I may be wondering down another side road of collecting, as I find myself searching and looking at other patterns of McGrew Knives. ::facepalm::

While I was away, I was able to corral a few more Ponies to add to the barn. Some are duplicates of patterns I already have, some are new like the Two Camillus 9518, and the QueenSteel #17A. I also found another Kutmaster with the three blades but this one is yellow handled.

McGrew Yello Handle Pony Jack, looks like it is a Camillus 710Y
