All About Pocket Knives

Surely, there is an EO thread here somewhere.

But, here are some Robeson made Easy Openers.

Very nice knives, guys. Really nice to look at.

Here is one I forgot I had.
According to Goins these two stamps with serif lettering dates this to 1916.
I wish I had a Camillus box full of six new ones!

Charlie......I couldn't find an EO thread anywhere, and heck, even if there is, why not have two?

My favorite is the Wadsworth; just wish the blades were fuller.

Dale~
Where would you date that Wadsworth & Sons knife from?
I have one that isn't an easy opener.
It's a jack knife with bolsters on both ends.
Blades are worn down but still a good user.
Has the same type jigged bone and has the same tang stamp.
Did a little research years ago but never could get a round about year made.
I'll post pictures when I can find the knife and the batteries finish charging on my camera.

Beautiful 2x!!!!!

I found that vintage EO are exiting knives, here are some of mine:
Keen Kutter
Camillus 4 lines stamp
Challenge cut. main blade had obviously modified in the past, I think the tip has broken

Beauties Mike!!!

I just got this Camillus for my 50th birthday from Chet!!!

Here's one like Gino's that I just got from a friend to sell on the bay. I like EO's too.

Guess what, it's a Jack Knife Ben.

I picked up this UGLY A.W. Wadsworth & Son Germany in a lot.
I actually have a collection of something now.....with another EO on the way

i hope i didn't bid anyone here into this high price, but i did want it.

went as high as i could and then some,, but i didn't get it

The redbone handles are in great shape to as are the nickle silver bolsters.

The handles look like Delrin to me

you know what dimitri. thanks for taking some of the polish off that knife, it makes the loss a little easier to handle.
also my impression of those spun pins had me thinking twice. but i have an addiction..
i need help

Chet, we all need help

Definitely Delrin and it sold for a bit more than it's actually worth. But, a great pattern.

This one has seen a lot of pocket time since I got it.
