All About Pocket Knives

bkazz5,

What Levine's book is that from? Or is it in all of his books? I have 2 of his books at home but I don't recall, off hand, seeing this listing. Thanks!

I have Levine's #3 and there is a one page article by Houston Price about Cripple Creek knives. Page 122
There is no specific production data.

Not sure what edition it is but here's the cover. She's a little worn. There are a few pages dedicated to Cripple Creeks in this edition. And another pic. This is kind of the smaller version of the jumbo trapper. Cargill referred to this as a LI 1 dog leg jack . You can see in the production list the knives are listed as LI-1, LI-2, etc. The LI stands for Little Indian. Alot of Bob's knives had Indian themes.

Another beautiful knife.

Thanks bkazz5.

Yes that jumbo trapper is great! I think everyone needs at least on Cargill Cripple Creek in their collection. Especially if you enjoy slip joint knives!

I agree, now that I have one.
I didn't know what I was missing.

Sorry it took so long for me to respond, Hideaway Knives, I didn't know you had posted here.
Thanks for the comment.

Reminds me of the song, "Fat Bottom Girls".
