All About Pocket Knives

the wife has said in the past "Will you please quit buying all this old crap! We can't afford it." I replied " As soon as you cancel the cable television and quit wasting money on vacations." I'm still buying knives and tools. She's still planning vacations.

Got this from Johnnie today. Hen & Rooster bone large stockman.

Those older Sabres are great. I have some USA and Japan ones.
GCC maybe on that switch??? Thats the most common I think. Nice either way though!

Nice! Even better. Much harder to find.

Paul,

We had just gotten this little Kabar peanut in the mail. I am not sure of the date of this one. They are nice little knives!

Great old knife.

Nice little KaBar Kathy. They are quality knives at that age.

Thanks, guys. Another one of Bret's finds. He is always on the lookout for Kabars. Kabar is one of his favorite companies.

Here is another one, the same size, in stag.

Nice stag! I like that knife a lot with that blade combo. It would make a neat little edc

Is there a book or other document that would help to date KABAR and kabar knives?

This might help for now

I really like that one, TR!

Thank you, Knifegirl, and thank you Gino for the info. What is that book?

tongueriver, this is the book gino posted.

Tongue, I believe that was Goins book Gino posted. That stag reminds me of this one, another of my favorites. I seem to have a lot of favorites....

That's because you've got lots of beautiful knives!!!

Thanks Joe. My favorite seems to be whatever I have in my hand at the time?? (Kathy says I used to be that way with wimmin too, but I am reformed!)

I don't know why I didn't look in my Goins (duh), but thanks for pointing me towards my bookcase, Gino.
Meanwhile, here are two that sorta illustrate my diverse interests. The Buck was given to me by my son on a umm... birthday, to my great shock and delight, back in 2006, and actually is the first knife I owned (and I have had a number that were just tools to me) that piqued my interest and was a launchpad for insanity in the first degree. The other knife, a GEC Northfield, is pretty different. I also like.... oh shucks; almost everything old and lots of new. I even like yellow ones, Ken!
