All About Pocket Knives

Nice bunch of knives, Tim. ....how do you like the Buck Tempest?........I have one and love it.
Is the Electricians knife a Ulster or Camillus?

Thanks Tim, I don't remember ever coming across a sleeveboard in the cracked ice shell handles. That's another pattern to watch for. It never fails, just when I think I have one in every pattern, another one shows up. But that's what keeps it interesting.
Again, nice finds. Be sure to show off an after pic when ya get 'em cleaned up.

WB

Hey WB, they made a bunch of 'em. If you look on my Hammer Card with the Orange striped barlow on it, you'll see a t least 6 of them. 2 with shields even.

Thanks for the kind words fellas

Johnnie ............the Buck is one stout knife for sure
The electricians knife is made by Colonial

Tim

Hey Perry, none in cracked ice. (or whatever the official name you guys use) I did know the pattern existed, I think I might have 1 or 2 in different colors. But, still not sure if the C/I was ever made in the Imperial/Hammer Brand line. Do you have one? I'd love to see it!

WB

P.S. always enjoy lookin' at those cards!!!!!

Tim, Redrider, Thanks for the feedback ! Bull

Got one today it's quite like a Camillus TL-29 but only in build .Same old Iron worker gave it to me hard to make out the tang stamp. I posted it in the Q+A thread .any help would be greatly apreciated THANX, On the pad of paper are what I could make out on the tang

Nice grouping Bull, and a good save on the pile side handle of that Western hunter!

WB

Oh I see what you're sayin WB, I was cornfused. Odd though cause they made it in Cross Bars and a few others.

WhiteBuffalo, Thanks for the positive feedback ! Bull

Been busy around here, but I managed to snag these from Greg...........excited about the #36
in Smooth Banana Bone, it will go very nicely in my Red/Org/Ylw display......

nice Trand !

Nice knives everybody!! Pickings have been a little thin here lately but I found a guy today who clears out houses for estate sales who claims to have 50-200 knives. I'll be seeing him later in the week.

Found this old Diamond Edge and Case Tested at the flea market this morning.

Those are some spectacular finds. Making me jealous again.

That Diamond Edge is a great-looking knife. The handles are real nice.

Thank You. I really like it too. Its an odd pattern.

Knife-nut,
that diamond edge has got me moanin' the blues. What a neat pattern. How long is it?

Well, I just got one in a odd pattern too. At least it's unusual to me. What is this pattern called?
I guess I should check my books.
This is a pretty used up New York Hammer, but I just couldn't let it get by me. It's so sweet..... and old.
It's 2 7/8" long.

That's a grand knife even with all the wear. Those scales are awesome.

Joe - That one's worth it just for the handles.


This came today. Camillus #80 - 1960 to 1976 Deluxe Carpenters Whittler
Milled liners, front and back (sparingly on the back)
Nickel Silver bolsters, liners and pins (both pivot pins and scale pins)

Blades are a little rough but this is the first #80 pattern I've seen. It's a #72 but dressed up a little more fancy (ergo the 'Deluxe' in the name). At this point, I'm reasonably certain they were only made in the 1960's (possibly the 1950's also) and maybe in the very early 1970's. The #80 pattern is in the 1965 catalog but not in the bookend catalogs from 1948 and 1972. Anyone else have one?

Any white looking stuff on the handles is Mothers that didn't buff off.

What is this pattern called?

Maybe a dog leg jack.. .....or small saddle horn?
Beautiful scales.

Cool Camillus Jerry! Hey Joe, that Hammer was one I was watchin too. It's a neat older Hammer for sure.

nice ones guys

Iron Hoarder and Jerry,
thanks for the comments. I'm glad you like it.

Jerry, that carpenters whittler is real nice.

Johnnie, Ya-- saddlehorn is what I was trying to think of. It is a little one though.
Perry, there were only 11 bids on that knife. Had the blades been in better shape there would undoubtedly been more interest. That's why I can afford some of these. I may have over paid as it is but she's mine.
I'm glad you liked it too.

Well Joe, at the very least, it's a rarely seen pattern and very nice jig bone! And it's a Hammer! Nicely done
