All About Pocket Knives

Here's another old user, a Farmboy in Gabon Ebony from 2013. All steel construction.
I thought the ebony would benefit from a simple shield, so Glennbad put this one on it a few years back.
I really like that you get two full size blades on the 15 frame. It's basically a trapper that carries like a barlow.

Got me there, never seen those two blades on a Boys knife. Farmboy, that's aptly named and I can see all kinds of love on the blades. Nice one, love the older GECs with the gator snap before they toned it down too. Beauty there.

That’s crazy Lyle! How does PayPal justify suspending your account when eBay and almost every knife dealer uses their service? I hope you can contest this decision.

I bought this subject up over 3 years ago, PayPal made it virtually impossible for me to BUY knives from a retailer i had never had a problem with before, i said at the time it appeared that they were going down the woke path to appease people. So this is not a new issue. When i requested an answer from them all i got was the usual run around, when i kept pursuing an answer they just stopped all contact.

That’s messed up @cudgee. Baffling on how they pick and choose who gets booted, much less why they would want to cut off a viable customer?

To get us back on thread thought i'd better post my favourite CC designed GEC.

I found other methods of payments Zelle , Apple Pay, Venmo, and whatever. I need to open a store on AAPK, I've been accepted, I've just not committed to finishing the process . I couldn't get it finished in time to sell the knives I had made before and haven't finished the process.

Beautiful Cudgee, love that jigging.
Beautiful CopOut, love blue camel bone.
Two beauties gents, keep them coming, love seeing those kind.

Let me add to the blue camel bone angle of the thread

Great set of blues there Ivory.
Here's a 54 that I had out to use today for pumpkin carving, cleaned and oiled it up when done.
Covers are bonestag, light 49 etch on top bolster, think it was one of 50

Oohhhhhhh, that's a looker. Great aging bone and patina. Great pics too. Thanks for the comment on the blue camels.

Here's one of my favorite knives because of the single spring, thin in the pocket, and the mean Wharncliffe when it comes to boxes. Holidays brought a lot of packaging and had to break down a bunch to fit in the recycle bin. This knife is a 2020 so not that old, but I've never had to sharpen it. Came pretty sharp, but not razor. But it was sharp enough that all I have ever had to do to it was pass it over the strop a few times. I've stropped it many times, but never hit a stone. I think it's the thin blade stock, another thing I love about it. This knife did not feel very sharp today, haven't stropped it for probably months. But even in that state it ate up the boxes, so easy to pierce and split any cardboard with the 62 1/2 Congress. Ripe banana bone if I recall right. Box cutter extrordinaire IMHO. And I love the bones. Happy new year all.

Just have the one… so I suppose it is my favorite

That is a great looking half congress Ivory, and that Barlow is really unique, never seen that one before

A gift a few year back from Monk.

A very fine looking knife Scott.

My very first GEC.

Ahhhhh, one of the early ones. Congrats on that baby. Great piece. Same with that micarta covered Lumber Jack below. Love that micarta and the saw. Beauty.

Great piece, beautiful bones. I love seeing the ones people have from other AAPK guys like Monk. Sad to not see him post much anymore, used to love seeing his knives and every post. Miss them big time. At least you have a relic from him.
