All About Pocket Knives

I find very few all brass handle knives. Most you do find are usually Timber Scribes. It seems not many pocket knives were made with all Brass, Nickle Silver, Aluminum, etc. handles The Brass handle pocket knives were usually sold for use around water, seamen and the like would buy them because the handles would hold up to the elements. A lot of companies were experimenting with aluminum, it was very light and easily engraved.

I would like to see your vintage all metal handle knives.

Here is an old Wolfertz to start things off.

I have a bunch but this one, a Pradel is a fav! Guess why?

Because you can tell crazy stories about it and everyone believes you...

Here are the one's I have:

3 CATTARAUGUS with metal handles.

Here is a few more I dug out

Robeson
Colbert
Buck
Boker
Case
Hen & Rooster

Some nice metal knife handles shown so far.

Here is another one, a German made figural shoe knife.

Here's a few:

Some smaller ones;squares are 1"

A couple more

Three more

Kingston Cattle Knife (like knife7knuts), c.1947

I-XL with reshaped tip that was broken when aquired

Nice metal scales everyone Here is another brass French knife.

SK, thats like the one pradel I have at the top of the page. Only mine makes no sense?

Gino, S-K, and Elbertson, Nice knives

Ray, that little Waterville is a gem

Hi Gino. Thanks for the compliment. A basketball player and an accordion player does seem an odd combination. s-k

What? You've never seen a band at a basketball game?
CNoyes

If anyone has a Miracle Whip Anniversary they wouldn't mind letting go (other than these years) I would be interested.

This is a Toledo (Spain) knife. I like the Moorish design on the scales. s-k

smiling-knife,
I'd be smiling too with that beauty !! Really cool and different than most of what
you see. Thank you for sharing it.

S-K, I like that. Wouldn't mind having one myself.

Thought I'd post a few more while I'm here. I'm quite tickled with the rooster nutter. I bought it almost by mistake. I was just buying an all stainless steel knife and had no idea what it was until it arrived in the mail. I had wanted one and was very pleased when I opened it.

The last one, my USMC utility knife, has no marks on it other than U.S. Marines stamped on the mark side handle. If anyone has a guess as to who made it, I'd like to hear it.

The last three. There are a handful of CCC (Cheap Chinese Crap) in the junk knife box but who wants to have their eyes assaulted by that crap.

I don't remember where these three came from. I know I didn't buy them. Sometimes, people just give me knives because they know I'm a knife guy. I'm sure that happens to all of you.
