All About Pocket Knives

I do have a Leek, a Ken Onion. Last Christmas I bought both my daughters a Ken Onion Leek. My oldest daughter said that she would like a pink one, so I got her that and kept the extra. A very impressive knife.

Then you're all set, Pal. Keep it by your chair. Pick up, fondle, flick out, close, lay it down. Repeat as necessary.

This knife found me today--sittin under the Tiki bar when my nieghbor walked up with it--he found it in a coffee can with a bunch of misc. hardware--his dad is 97 and he figures it's probably been in that can since the 70's Case XX

Here's another Facebook find..........

Doe's anyone know what company the "AT" stands for?????

Hit the fleas yesterday came up with my first Robeson/Shureedge(script)/ROCHESTER 132433 WHAT A WELL BUILT KNIFE ::nod::acording to Charlies web site IF I'm reading it right she's a 1922-1939 vin.. Plus I got a mystery fishing knife all thats on the tang is Stainless/USA.

Nice ones dogg! I think the T/P fisherman is a Kabar. Not sure why it's not marked, but it might have been a contract knife for another co.

Missing the hook sharpening stone. Did anyone other than Ka-Bar put that in the handles of their fish knives??

Just off the top of my head, Case did, and Imperial did a few in their shell handled knives. I'm still trying to nail down a good example of one of the Imperials.
One of the other indicators on doggs knife is the pull on the scaler blade being on the pile side. All Kabars i've come across are done that way.

Looks like it may have had a bail at one time or another.

Jerry thet hole is only on one side there isn't one on the other I searched on Google and Ka-Barr is the only fishing knife with that hole BUT I haven't found one with the long pull,the knife is built sturty and I do have a Case with a hook sharpening stone on her.Heres a pic of the other side.

I have a Robeson with the scaler nail pull on the pile side and a bail hole only on the mark side but no swedge or long pull like that one and the scaler tip is different.

Edit: Picture added for comparison and the single bail hole is only on the pile side

It's not a bail hole fellas, it's a hole for straightening the point of a hook.

thanx Basser

jerry,camillus pattern #5(1976) had the hook sharpener!....

I just picked this Robeson shuredge up today. Mine has a bail? I have it on flea bay now, its pretty clean.

Ahh OK.
Thx Tim

Anyone know which Robeson.is less common, with or without the bail? The years they were made?

I don't know but I like them both.

This qualifies as a knife find of the day for me......I've had this black Colonial lockback for a while now, but just received it's yellow companion today! Both measure up at 4 " closed.

Those are nice,Mike. ....I haven't had the opportunity to get my hands one of those yet...hard to find in AZ. ...I guess.

Got this Saturday--here's a pic after a little cleaning-all you could see on the stamp was part of the C & the E scales had a bunch of I'm thinkin tar in the jiggin got all but one knick in blade out--did these come with a lanard or just a hole

That is a dandy. Got a lotta love for them old bone handles

Thanks Murph back side is just as pertty
