All About Pocket Knives

How about a thread for Senators and Pens, and Gent's knives in general?? I'll go first. This came out of a salesman's roll, maybe from the 1920s-1930s?? It is nicely made ; I suspect it is hard to fit stag to smaller knives. This one is right on 3 1/8".


Scratches are on my scanner!

Nice one Charlie, even has jimping on the liners!

Senators today are jimping the people!

Damn Charlie that's a fine knife! The handles are fantastic! You've started out with a top shelf masterpiece

Here are a few that I think qualify:

Eric

Awesome Gent's Charlie & Eric

Here's a SS7099 from the 30's

Keith

Nice contributions, Ozzie and Eric!
Here's a ring turn, and another, simpler, Stag.

Four blades again, a nice gent's Pearl;

I've got this one to add, with French Ivory.

Fran

Your grandkids got a hold of a pen, Fran! You better make 'em scrub off that ink!!
Otherwise, nice knife!!

Thanks Charlie. It came right off with some Flitz.

Flitz for Knife Zits!! Don't get caught without it!!

Fran, now if you'll just add a nice brush finish you'll be all set (sorry, I just couldn't resist, I'm kidding OK, just kidding! )

Seriously, beautiful sample!! And Charlie, the stag is incredible, as is that 7099 Keith!

Here are a few gents:

Maybe we ought to let any newcommers know that upnorth and I are kidding also !

The entire exchange was hilarious if you know the background story behind it.
(But I won't even begin to try and explain it).

Yes,to any knife collecting newcomers, if you come across an old knife with numbers written on the blades, DON'T rub 'em off! They're model numbers purposely put on with an etching pen for salesman samples.

Here's another gent:

The blade markings we are joking about can be worth as much as the knife itself. Preserve them!

beautiful everyone. Charlie you have some amazing stuff in your collection. I always enjoy seeing them. Mark

Hard to follow opening acts like those, but I'll try. Here's one I picked up off the bay recently.

mumblypeg,

That "Little Beauty" fits right in

Great pick up
