All About Pocket Knives

The WR1, identical to the one you have pictured!

Not sure what you mean by IBCA Can you help me out?

Tom

EDIT: The paperwork I have are: The Commemorative Knife Registration form/Lifetime Warranty and a brochure about Will Rogers, The Commemorative Knife and on the reverse it lists important dates in the Life of Will Rogers from birth 1897 - His final Burial in Oklahoma 1944.

I have Serial # 12318

Hope that helps

IBCA -International Blade Collectors Association
I posted one toward the top of this page.

Thanks for the offer on the Will Rogers paperwork, but mine has both pieces.
BTW, my serial # is 06883.

Here is a Grandad's Barlow.
I think they came out in the 1980s.

Dale

Dale,

That Barlow is a nice piece and I'm glad you brought that one up because it prompted me to pull mine out. I actually thought I had several of them (Barlows), however when I started pulling them out I realized that what I actually have is:

1: Grand Dad's Sharp Finger LTD
2: Grand Dad's Old Timer LTD
3: Grand Dad's Old Timer II LTD
4: Grand Dad's Old Timer Barlow LTD

My inventory listing is not as complete as I wish it were (they were listed as Old Grand Dad's) . I also haven't gotten to properly displaying them yet, I have them all packed and boxed up.

I really have to get some displays done up this spring.

I'll shoot some pictures tomorrow during the daylight hours and post them.

Thanks Dale.

Tom

Chase thats some real good eye candy for me and thank you very much for your time spent....

LOL i have this one and its called UN LTD...

As promised...here are the pictures. I ended up taking them inside, it's in the teens and breezy here and I couldn't hold the camera still outside. Not the greatest pictures but you'll get the general picture.

1: Grand Dad's Sharp Finger LTD
2: Grand Dad's Old Timer LTD
3: Grand Dad's Old Timer II LTD
4: Grand Dad's Old Timer Barlow LTD

These are going to make an excellent display together after they have been wiped down and put into a shadow box.

Tom

Nice Tom!
I have not seen the Sharpfinger before....SWEET!

Dale

Lets keep this going. I like seeing all of these that we never seen befor (Well I have ent).

Here is one with the blade cut out showing a duck. The photo is not kool but the knife in hand is.

Schrade Ducks Drop Point TEFLON coated 8 1/4

Alright......Here's another Sharpfinger for Dale !

The Harley Davidson Sharpfinger

The blade has a spray on protectorant that was applied at the factory way back when and I did not clean it off.

In any event..........this one's for you Dale

Tom

Alright.......alright.....

This one is not an LTD or Special Edition, however it is very "SPECIAL" to me!

This Sharpfinger was made by my Dad........it sports a filed, highly polished 152 blade and genuine stag handles. It sure is a beauty

I hope you enjoy.

Tom

Nice Sharpfingers Tom.

Here are 3 that I made a few years ago.

Left to right, King wood, Bokote, jigged Water Buffalo horn.

How do you like the finger grooves?

Dale

very nice ones justold52 (is it marty?), tom,dale!!!!!!!
i got a ph2 recently i that same kind of un-marked velvet box couldnt figure if the box came with the knife originaly or not---after seeing yours i guess it may have.
---------brady

Nice one Brady.

Tom,
Here is one like yours. I got it in exchange for a repair job.
It goes nicely with my GDOT Barlow.

Dale

Beautiful Sharpfingers......................

Finger grooves are great, but I gotto tell you.........I'm a sucker for the wooden handles.

Might be another good thread.........wooden handled knives

Glad to see you tracked down one of the Old Grand Dad's

Tom

I just happened to run across this one in a box of mine.

Though this would be a good place to show her off.

Great Knives............Dale you sure do some fantastic work
I absolutely love the 5 OT and especially that LB5

I'm going to have to save my nickles to get a Schrade customized by you Dale

We will need to talk soon

Tom

Thanks Randy & Tom!

Tom,
You have time to save your money.
I am going to be out of commission for a while while my hand heals from this surgery, tentatively 4-6 months.

Dale

Here is a Ducks Unlimited blank I got from LT, a few years ago.
I finished it up with presentation grade Bokote .

Dale

Sorry to hear that Dale!

4-6 Months...........Sounds like alot of time to research and spend on the computer!

Anything I can do to help, just let me know. I have been on your site several times justing looking and hoping to catch that one knife that I want. Problem is.........I don't know what that is yet, but I'll know when I see it.

I am impressed with your work and although I am a Schrade Factory knife person........I will add some custom Schrade pieces.

Thanks again Dale for all that you do for the folks on this forum.

Tom

Here is one limited one I have and she came from a dealers sample bag.

I only came home with one Schrade LTD from the OKCA show here in Oregon last weekend.

This one is courtesy of upnorth, ie., Charlie.
It has a beautiful blade etch & shield. Pretty nice bone as well.

Thanks Charlie,
Dale

orvet I under stand the lust for those Schrades. It must be a thing we have in the back of our brains. Always pick up one from every knife show Schrade that is.....

Here is one that I paid way to much for back when I first started buying Schrades.

Schrade Ducks LB7 Stag 24K Gold 5".

Nice one Ken!

Dale

nice example ken!! you didnt pay too much for it if you average it in to all your "other bargains" you got over the years!!!!!!!!!---there,,,,,feel better now (thats how i look at some of my too-high buys) -----brady

brady806 I am going to do like you do and average them out lol.

I not only paid to much for that one I also bought her sister. So now I need average out...

Here is a close up of the DUCKS.
