All About Pocket Knives

Very nice, Gentlemen …

I gots to start readin' …

This knife came today,
it is used and rusty. but that's no problem, with a little love and care she'll be like new in no time. it is the person who gave me this that really a bit of surprise for me...
it's from my sister.
she live in Holland, and she never understand WHY i like "those folding knives with no lock, so it's Not A Safe Knife".
but, when she saw this in a garage sale, she just bought it and send it to me with a note, " It is a folding knife, but it has a lock, so it will be safe for you to carry and use everyday, Merry Christmas"
anyway, it's a Herbertz, I'm not familiar with this brand, but it's a fine knife, still got that factory edge, no gap, and the lock is strong.
now, I couldn't tell her that I only collect Slip-joint knives, so I'm just gonna clean and touch it up a bit, take a pic of it in my pocket, and send the pic to my sis with a note "it is a safe knife, and now it's in my pocket ( it is when I took the pic ), thank you and Merry Christmas to you too"
love you sis.

A gift from a relative will always be special. Merry Christmas.

I agree!!

hey y'all just got back from the flea market, found a real nice 1972 6214 jack with delrin scales and un sharpened condition, it has 2 slight cracks at the lower middle rivets holding the scales on, it appears to be a factory error. the cracks are so slight that the camera wouldnt even pick them up.here are a few pics.

Thats the kinda flea mrket finds I love! Great find. ::ENVY::

thanks gino, he has a 1975 6337shsp also for cheap, maybe next week.

How much is cheap?? You better PM me, LOL!!

hey y'all just got back from the fleamarket and boy did i strike gold today. first is camp knife with celuoid scales complete with bail stamped richards sheffield england in near mint, second a fight'n rooster standard canoe great blades and excellent snap cracks in both scales
(minor fix) and last but certaimly not least a john primble stamped belknap hdw and mfg co, and 5283 on the reverse of the main blade the awl has minor chip hardly visible and the can opener is perfect main blade super nice and the screwdriver not twistd or torqued any, the reverse side scale has minor damage and the bail is gone but it still has alot of life left here are a few pics,

just curious since this is my first primble what year was it made?

1940 - 1968 with that marking
Man you did do good! ::envy::

any info on the richards/sheffield? i know the rooster is the celebrated so it is easy to date, but not sure about the sheffield one.

I would guess the 50's with that handle material on the Sheffield.

thanks for the info, the more i collect knives i discover so many different ones, that is the cool part about it for me.

Very good indeed! I like that Imperial Cracked Ice Scout too.

hey singin the cracked ice is a richards sheffeild england with a light house in the stamp, ive never seen one before, so its kinda cool.

Here's my finds today.

#1 - Western stamped 66 ( don't know the value, but it looks like a deer skinnin' machine )

#2 - Edge Mark stamped 457 ( Never heard of it, but it appears to be real stag and good steel, but the rust mites got it )

#3 - Case Mako stamped 58L SS w/ 5 dots ( Any idea of it's age?? broken tip, but can be salvaged )

nice ones there ga1dad, i agree the tip is an easy fix, i love bringing home little lost homeless knives too.lol

Cool finds GA1dad! Hey peshikthe, that's even better, probably an even harder knife to find these days. I like your flea better than mine.

Here's the only one I found today, after BIGHEAD and I met, I went back to the Gun and Knife show and decided to buy this one. Didn't give much for it but cleaned up nicely.
Imperial Celluloid Jack 3 3/4 in length. It was already in really nice condition. Few pits but nothin major.

really nice scales ,cool box too im sure your fleamarket is much better when its warmer just like the one i go to when people set up outside.

Singin 46
Fine lookin jack. Are those patent numbers on the pen blade?

Yes Bill those are. Trust me peshikthe, mine don't have no knives at it EVER!

Hey look what came in the mail today! This is a Fisherman's knife that toomanyknives sent me after readin my story about my Grandfather in the Memories thread a few days ago.
Almost identical to the one I lost years ago. Thanks K for thinkin of me, means an awful lot man! Them memories just come floodin back!

Glad you like it Singin! Man, you take great pictures. That's an awesome jack you found today also.
