All About Pocket Knives

Very recently, I added this "card" to the "deck." It is a WESTERN U.S.A., "Queen Of Hearts", single blade, one tang stamp, 3 1/8" closed, lockback pocket knife. The tang stamp is X'd out. This is my second X'd out tang stamp on a WESTERN U.S.A., "Queen Of Hearts" pocket knife. The other one has been previously posted under this topic or thread. It didn't need any cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is. The last picture is of the previously posted, X'd out, WESTERN U.S.A., "Queen Of Hearts" tang stamp.

Another nice piece !
So are you playing with a full Deck yet ? In regards to Western stamps that is .Thought better clarify as that didn’t sound good at first.
Stay warm and safe out there

Thank you, JP.
Same to you.

This afternoon, this pocket knife arrived and it became the latest "card" to be added to the "deck." It is a CAMILLUS, "King Of Hearts", single blade, single tang stamp, 3 1/8" closed, lockback pocket knife. It has a CAMILLUS, NOT a WESTERN tang stamp. It didn't need any cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

Thank you, Phil.
Much appreciated.

I never knew about these knives. Those knives are beautiful! I really love the back of the card. The art on both sides are awesome. But the pile side covers grab my attention. Thanks to everyone that posted on the history of these knives. And thanks especially to you fellas for the awesome pictures. The more I hang out here the more I learn.

Morning Skip . Looks like you have a couple of straight flushes in the Westerns
The Camillus stamped ,is there not as many of them out there ?

Good morning, JP.
I can't explain the difference in the amount of WESTERN
tang stamps vs. the amount of CAMILLUS tang stamps.

Western #WP118

I didn't know this was available until it was too late. I am posting the following for posterity and for future reference. It is a WESTERN U.S.A., single blade, single tang stamp, Ace of Hearts, playing card pocket knife. It appears that the tang stamp has been X'd out. The pictures belong to the seller and have NOT been edited, altered or enhanced by me in any fashion, EXCEPT for the size.

I'm glad CAMILLUS didn't make all 52 cards, plus a couple of Jokers.

For a man with your ambition & passion for collecting, I would see not problem with that.

Recently, these pocket knives arrived and they became the latest "cards" to be added to the "deck." It is the COMPLETE, limited edition proof set of WESTERN U.S.A., "Ace Of Hearts", "King Of Hearts", "Queen Of Hearts", "Jack Of Hearts" and the "Ten Of Hearts." They are all single blade, they all have one tang stamp, they all have a blade etch, they all measure 3 1/8" closed and they are all lockback pocket knives. They all have the same blade etch, "1 of 750 sets - Limited Edition - 1st Run - Proof Set." They all have the same "WESTERN - U.S.A." tang stamp. This is my second, limited edition, proof set (but no deck of cards and no c.o.a). The other limited edition proof set, along with all of the other single "card" pocket knives, have all been previously posted under this topic or thread. This limited edition proof set did NOT need any cleaning at all. I took some pictures and here it is.

I actually have 3 complete sets,
but only 2 sets, the Limited Edition sets, have matching tang
stamps (WESTERN). The other complete set has a mix of WESTERN & CAMILLUS tang stamps.
