OK TOPDOG, you win. Since I did name you "King of the Hobo Jungle" you rightly should have the coat. I guess I'll just bring the one I have.. My Technicolor Dream Coat.. I had loaned it to Kramer, but I got it back..Kramer.jpg

I bet this Hobo camp is on a "long and winding road to a coat that will never disappear".

It’s called their “Big Bill” and is a really good quality knife. A weighty 5.3 ounces. 4 3/4” closed, 8 1/2” open. Beautiful Olive Wood handle. Their blade description says stainless steel, 12.5% chrome... Their website is Cultra.be.

I found this one a couple weeks ago at a flea market.
Parker "Rio Grande Camp Knife" Lockback Whittler
Even though it has 3 blades with the main being a clip, I like this one. The jigged bone looks good with both sides being very similar.
I like the pattern and the lockback also.

Wow Tony! That looks like a super nice knife. Parker had some fine knives. Is that a Seiki made one?

Thanks TopDog !! it has signs of pocket carry and very light use. The bone caught my eye and I prefer Whittlers if buying a 3 blade knife.

I have always been more of a stockman guy, however I just picked up about 5 whittlers in the past 2 months, and prior to that I only had a couple for years and years. Blame it AAPK ... ... On yours, I like the fact that the main blade locks and those sweet bone scales

P.S. Don't let Marco know about those other blades....

TopDog, other traditional knives I like are 2 blade Jacks and 2 Blade Barlows, but I mostly have 1 blade knives.

Khyber 1610 Japan Lockback Wood Handles
- 6 1/2" OAL ... 2 3/4" Stainless Blade ... 3.6 ounces, and feels great in hand for a smaller knife. I like the unique shape.

OK TOPDOG, you win. Since I did name you "King of the Hobo Jungle" you rightly should have the coat. I guess I'll just bring the one I have.. My Technicolor Dream Coat.. I had loaned it to Kramer, but I got it back.

The owner (I think) very kindly emailed back and said it would be about $26 in shipping. That was just a little too high especially when you’re ordering an under $50 knife. I was able to find this one on EBay. It retails for 44.99 euros. It’s called their “Big Bill” and is a really good quality knife. A weighty 5.3 ounces. 4 3/4” closed, 8 1/2” open. Beautiful Olive Wood handle. Their blade description says stainless steel, 12.5% chrome. It’s a tight knife with gator snap. I really like this one more than I thought I would. Marco, I think you’d really like this one! Their website is Cultra.be.

Marco that is Sweet!!! Those larger stiletos are just too cool .... I am thinking a buddy had an AGA Campolin, but, with stag scales on it and that was a real looker for a stag-handle-lover. I am pretty sure that it was made by AGA Campolin So it was nice to hold one like that my my hands (even if my hands are a little beat-up theses days ...please see previous pictures for a better idea of hand condition)

This Reminton is giving me a lot of comfort lately.....

OK TMK, I think I have resolved the infamous "Coat of Consternation situation" thanks to my old buddy Ruddy Ray Moore, AKA Dolemite: The Human Tornado. I'm going to trade some Case XX (from about 1978) folders and a few other items for the pictured coat (made famous in several 75'-78' classic films). I will be looking stylish and cool along with you in your "Kramer Coat" .... While Marco will be looking pretty much like a broke and down on his luck hobo....
