All About Pocket Knives

A nice line up Bob

Thank you Moss and Dimitri....I do have sheaths for two that are original, the other I'm not sure.

It seem's that leather sheath's from this era have not held up well....but I'm glad the knives have....

Just found out this CASE was a WWII issue survival knife....
It's missing the ingredients inside the handle and the compass in the cap.

Scott:
You are one lucky guy. I have never even seen one. I think it was a match safe and for fish hooks etc., in the handle. Probably wrong. happens a lot these days. The nomenclature is 309 Survival Knife.
Spendy little devil.
moss

Thanks Moss!
(I'd trade 'er for a Randall 10-3)

Here's better pics....

Very nice Scott... ...it looks to be in good condition.

This is from Cole's on military knives.

Bob

I don't have much military stuff but here's one I picked up at a Military show so I assume it's military. It's a Walden Knife co.____Dave

That`s a rare one Dave

I have one similar made by New york Knife Co.

Scott, that is one rare and nice Case knife! Good find! Terry

A lady was on Antiques Roadshow from Tulsa Monday evening with a Camillus USMC Raider stiletto.

Very nice condition with a nearly full, very legible etch.

The program can be viewed on-line at PBS.org. I think the knife makes its appearance at about 25:50 in the video.

Be prepared to deal with long, non-skippable commercials.

Charlie Noyes

A nice pair of Robesons Mk 1, navy marked knives.

One is as new as issued, one a theater modification.

I'm thinking the wooden butt was easy to break.


Bob

Nice knives Bob!

I can't believe I haven't contributed to this thread. Anyway here are a few from my accumulation:
1)American Fork & Hoe 1943 bayonet.I had it chrome plated.
2) A Mauser bayonet.
3)A Colonial raft knife.
4) A United Cutlery Grand Rapids Michigan raft knife.
5)an E.G.Waterman(non-military issue)and a Cattaraugus 225Q
6)A German Fireman's knife:similar to a bayonet but no lug to attach it to a rifle.
7)A bayonet by Gottlieb Hammesfahr.
8)Two PAL RH35 Mark 1's.
9)A TL-14 Lineman's kit with M-13A Utica pliers and 4 line Camillus TL-29
10) A John Ek Model 6 s/n M 393.

A few more:
An SA dagger;a gift from a friend whose dad brought it home from WWII.
A KA-BAR and PAL Mk2
A Cattaraugus and a Case folding machete.
A Case V-42 with a replacement handle(by me until I can get the correct leather).

Truly a nice collection, The Bayo sans connector is more than likely a parade piece. I always thought thoe big colonials were pilots bailout knives. Thanks for the info.

You could be right as to the bail out knife description;my mind isn't working very well this week.It seems to me that I was told by a friend of mine who was a big military arms collector that it was a fireman's knife but that was about 30 years ago when I got it so he could have been in error as well.

Thanks Dimitri...took a while to find a nice issue knife.

Ray, very nice.. ..that John Ek

These are some recent knives, most are military, top down.

Western, Imperial Pilot knives, KaBar, Catt. 225Q, Western

Looks like some real gems in there Bob

Those big Western knives are one of my favorites, I am a sucker for a nice blued blade

Your right , its hard not to like the big Western's....

WelderBob wrote:A few 6" blades, t-to-b, Kinfolks, Western, KaBar. The Kinfolks and Western are finished nice with blued blades. The KaBar has a nice handle and a heavier blade....would be my pick of the three....

Nice knives but the Kinfolks has been blued by somebody other than the factory.

Hey Dmitri, are you coming to Mystic? I will have a lot of great WW2 knives for sale there, hope you make it this year!! They will have 8" tables finally so I will have an even better selection of old knives than in the past.
Best, Gene

Here is one I have never seen. It is marked Kennedy Bros Arms Co. I think it is rare. It is not mine. It belongs to a friend that won it at an estate auction we attended yesterday. I hope y'all like looking at it
Monte

Very nice old knife. Probably made by Donald Moore for Kennedy Arms During WW II. Thank you. Should he want to rid him self of it please put him in contact.
moss

Thanks for the information Moss. He never sells anything. He collects ww2 memorabilia. I will tell him that you are interested. He would be more inclined to trade. But I have no idea what he wants.

Monte

Some new additions, USN Mark 1.

Robeson blue blade and aluminum pommel, may be a early war issue.

H.Boker, don't know much about these, have not seen many.

KaBar Fighting/Utility with 6" flat grind blade.
