All About Pocket Knives

I like collecting WW II era U.S. and German Military knives.

I would like to see any knives others here might have in their collection.

Here is an unused WWII era Camillus, USMC fighting knife with scabbard.


Let`s see your old military knives

NICE on D!!
Here's an old PAL with a history. It went through the Pacific "Island Campaigns" with a SEABEE. It's just like he left it. It is one SHARP SOB!

Very nice Willie!

It`s in great condition and with the original sheath, these are usually missing.

This thread also includes military folding pocket knives

So let`s see them military knives of all kinds

Thanks D.
Here's a First Special Forces pocket knife that belonged to my wife's uncle. He was killed by a booby trapped pistol near the end of 44 in France. We're still trying to figure out what outfit he was with.






In case any body is wondering, the phillips screwdriver was used to tighten their ski bindings.

Here is a Camillus US Army knife. s-k

I was using one of those for an EDC a few years ago,...I really liked that knife.

Lookin forward to Mossdancer's weighing in on this thread. Did you catch what I posted about your holster a few threads down?

W
Yes, I did. I only wish there was some sort of mark. It is definite though it will fit a small frame 5 inch revolver. I don't remember the Police ever wearing an apparatus that would accept a web belt hanger. I will look that thread up and post the url to here also.

Not too many around here collect military knives I guess

Here is another one, a Pal RH 35 U.S. Navy knife.

Willie will like this one

Yes INDEED!!

I like that old stag handled folder with US NAVY on it better. ( hint hint) LOL

Very hard to find those Willie!

I know where there is a Miller gravity rope knife with the blade etched "U.S. Navy", One of your "Holy Grail" Knives.

Only problem is the guy want`s $2,800 for it

Awesome knife!
First one I ever saw and I love it!

Is that all????

The way things are in my world right now, if they were selling tugboats for 100 bucks a piece, I'd have to just stand on the levy with my hands in my pockets and say, "DAMN that's cheap!"

Here are a few more for the grist.

Moss,

Nice ones

Here is a WWI Knuckle Duster, with what is left of the original scabbard.

Yours appears to be an LF&C, Is it the hard to find one with the extra knob on the bottom.
Do you have the bottom iron piece also.

I'm sure you have one but if you don't I think I have a photo of what that sheath looks like if you would like to have it redone or use what you have as a pattern for a remake with the leather and all from scratch. Then keep them all together with the partial genuine article.
moss

Moss,

I do not have the bottom piece, I wish I did. A few years ago there were some reproduction sheaths on the market. I should have bought a few. They were very close to the original.

I have yet to find one of these knives with an intact original sheath. Do you know where I can find one?

M.B.

Not off hand, I will shake the bushes a bit and see what falls out.

Great knife . Ulster made a similar pattern for the Canadian forces in WWII. Is your knife made by Ulster or another company?

Could your wife's uncle have been with the 10th Mountain Division? These Ulster knives are often called 10th Mountain Div knives. They are not as common as other WW2 pocket knives.

It's possible, we are going to try to get a copy of his service record. No one in the family is left that knows for sure. I've not found his name in any of the records on the web.

Always like seeing that old Ulster Willie

Seeing you started on military pocket knives and that`s what most people around here want to see, I gathered up these WWII era bone utility knives and one USCG Rope Knife that I had kicking around

Great Knives Dmitri!!

I've got an old trench knife that somebody cut the knuckle guard off of. It was a "barn find" many years ago.

Here ya go S-K, it's an ULSTER.

Sorry I didn't answer sooner but I've been out of town for a week.
