Comfort Knives!

OK TOPDOG, you win. Since I did name you "King of the Hobo Jungle" you rightly should have the coat. I guess I'll just bring the one I have.. My Technicolor Dream Coat.. I had loaned it to Kramer, but I got it back..Kramer.jpg

Ohhhh .....Wow! that's a nice coat It says "1978" all over it!!! ... Now, I think I have coat envy! ... and it was bad enough having "Knife envy" every time I log in here.... .....

I bet this Hobo camp is on a "long and winding road to a coat that will never disappear".

I hope it ends at some point .... the running joke might be about like before long .... if not already ... ....

Just discovered a Belgian knife company - Cultra. I was able to find this one on EBay. It retails for 44.99 euros. It’s called their “Big Bill” and is a really good quality knife. A weighty 5.3 ounces. 4 3/4” closed, 8 1/2” open. Beautiful Olive Wood handle. Their blade description says stainless steel, 12.5% chrome... Their website is Cultra.be.

Thanks T for costing me 44.99 euro!!! .... that knife looks so sweet .... I have to get one ..... Why do I keep logging into this site

OK fine. From now on, what happens at Hobo Camp, stays at Hobo Camp..

Well Kerry, the "Coat OF Many Colors" is fading .. so back to Knife Business !
I found this one a couple weeks ago at a flea market.
Parker "Rio Grande Camp Knife" Lockback Whittler
Even though it has 3 blades with the main being a clip, I like this one. The jigged bone looks good with both sides being very similar.
I like the pattern and the lockback also.

Wow Tony! That looks like a super nice knife. Parker had some fine knives. Is that a Seki made one?

Ohh Sooo nice!!! That's what I'm Tak'en 'bout! Looks like it has no wear on it

I'm back-logged about 4 dozen knives to post, and now I know why, every time I come over here to post a knife, there's more banter to read or be involved in, so cut it out you guys!

M&M, I forgot to say your R&R Elephant toes/Rhino horns are just plain awesome! The Older USA made ones have gotten so expensive, I have to turn to R&R, and I have not been disappointed, so far....

Ohh Sooo nice!!! That's what I'm Tak'en 'bout! Looks like it has no wear on it

Thanks TopDog !! it has signs of pocket carry and very light use. The bone caught my eye and I prefer Whittlers if buying a 3 blade knife.

I have always been more of a stockman guy, however I just picked up about 5 whittlers in the past 2 months, and prior to that I only had a couple for years and years. Blame it AAPK ... ... On yours, I like the fact that the main blade locks and those sweet bone scales

P.S. Don't let Marco know about those other blades....

TopDog, other traditional knives I like are 2 blade Jacks and 2 Blade Barlows, but I mostly have 1 blade knives.

Got this one in the mail today ... "Instant Comfort Knife"!
Khyber 1610 Japan Lockback Wood Handles
- 6 1/2" OAL ... 2 3/4" Stainless Blade ... 3.6 ounces, and feels great in hand for a smaller knife. I like the unique shape.

OK TOPDOG, you win. Since I did name you "King of the Hobo Jungle" you rightly should have the coat. I guess I'll just bring the one I have.. My Technicolor Dream Coat.. I had loaned it to Kramer, but I got it back.

OK TMK, I think I have resolved the infamous "Coat of Consternation situation" thanks to my old buddy Ruddy Ray Moore, AKA Dolemite: The Human Tornado. I'm going to trade some Case XX (from about 1978) folders and a few other items for the pictured coat (made famous in several 75'-78' classic films). I will be looking stylish and cool along with you in your "Kramer Coat" .... While Marco will be looking pretty much like a broke and down on his luck hobo....

Just discovered a Belgian knife company - Cultra. They don’t have a large offering, but all their knives look real nice. I emailed them about shipping to the US. The owner (I think) very kindly emailed back and said it would be about $26 in shipping. That was just a little too high especially when you’re ordering an under $50 knife. I was able to find this one on EBay. It retails for 44.99 euros. It’s called their “Big Bill” and is a really good quality knife. A weighty 5.3 ounces. 4 3/4” closed, 8 1/2” open. Beautiful Olive Wood handle. Their blade description says stainless steel, 12.5% chrome. It’s a tight knife with gator snap. I really like this one more than I thought I would. Marco, I think you’d really like this one! Their website is Cultra.be.

Yes sir, Tim, you got that right, I REALLY like that one, and REALLY want one, thanks for the link, buddy!

[Madmarco]

It's an 11" AGA Campolin rare "Francese" ring-pull auto, that has a 3mm SS modified bayonet blade, NS bolsters pull-ring and button, brass liners and pins, Pearlex covers, and a safety.

Marco that is Sweet!!! Those larger stiletos are just too cool .... I am thinking a buddy had an AGA Campolin, but, with stag scales on it and that was a real looker for a stag-handle-lover. I am pretty sure that it was made by AGA Campolin So it was nice to hold one like that my my hands (even if my hands are a little beat-up theses days ...please see previous pictures for a better idea of hand condition)

This Reminton is giving me a lot of comfort lately.....

Thanks, Dog, and your Remington is one good looking knife too, it's oozing class!

That's a beauty, Tony, your taste in pocket cutlery is impressive!

Tony, I should have asked you when we were PMing back and forth, but I forgot so I have to ask you now,
WHERE DO I GET ONE OF THESE?
Your Khyber goes WAY beyond "Instant Comfort Knife" for me, we're talkin' Grail with this beauty!
PLEASE let me know how I get one, or, lead me to water and I will drink!

Most of your puns and shots are teriffic, Dog, but this is your masterpiece!
Well done, buddy!
