All About Pocket Knives

Here are 2 that I just picked up. Both work as they should and the color on the Edgemaster I have never seen before.

Nice finds.

Thanks!!!

Here is my only "working" switch. I bought this at a gunshow from a man that said "I am just getting out of knife collecting", so I paid a dirt cheap price.

I found a picture of what I believe is my knife in Jim Sargent's book. I am not sure what makes it "rare" though?

Great knife Kathy and yes it's great to get them at a cheap price!!!

Here's a few:
First pic is a group of Schrades
Second is an Imperial fishtail
Third is a tiny Imperial
Fourth is a Schrade letter opener switch(middle of the display)
Last is a very early Press Button one armed man's knife with a blade etch advertising a company(A.A.Marks)that made artificial limbs.Supposedly some type of giveaway promo to Spanish American war veterans.

Love that press button letter opener, first one I have seen!

Very nice.like the fish tail look

My newest trade. Cracked cell handles. but no sign of outgassing. Found cleaning out a house. (not by me)
Offered in a trade. Don't really collect switches or celluloid but couldn't pass up the offer.

Here is one of 4 Press Buttons that I picked up this past week. This is the best of the 4 and I am very lucky to have found this one. The etch is just great and the knife is crisp all the way around.

That PB is a beauty Mike!
I guess the arrow and the word Business means that is the business end of the knife?

people lucky to find one you found four very nice !

Very nice. It is hard to believe there are still knives like that around after 110 years. When you get time i would sure like to see the other three.

WOW that Press Button Business is one heck of a find

Congratulations

You might be right Dale!!

Here are the rest of my PB's. The metal handled one I have had for a few years now but the others came from the batch with the Business pattern one. Note the bolster on the Invincible it is slanted and has a pin in it!!! I have never seen that before.

Beautiful selection of Press Buttons Mike! I only have two;the one with the fork at the point and a small sterling handled two blade with the gargoyle face that has been apart for years.Blades won't stay closed and I haven't had the time to figure out why.

Two Press Buttons that I am proud of.

Very Nice Press Button Mike .Here are a few of mine .

Very nice Dragon ! there in great shape

Here is my latest Press Button. I went to a gun show with a friend about 2 hours from where I live yesterday and of course was looking for old knives but I usually go thinking if I find something great but if not thats OK because it's a day out and love looking at old guns too. So I was just about to leave after looking at all the tables when I noticed a section of 3 tables that I had not checked out so I went over and saw in the case this Press Button Knife/fork combo. It was closed in the case and when I noticed the handles had dents I thought that the blades would be beat up too. Was I surprised to see that the blade had no wear and really got excited when I looked the back of the blade over and noticed INK!!!!! A salesman's knife just the thing that I really love.

One more PB to add to my collection. Now I need to find an etched VICTOR!!

Really enjoy watching your Press Button collection progress Mike . Always nice to be able to ad a salesman's sample to any collection.,Wayne

Thanks Wayne, I almost walked out of the show before looking at the table were it was sitting. Very lucky for sure.

Mike ,
I'm really glad you did pick up a new piece for your collection especially since I bid against you on the "Hoff's" I had been talking to Mark on the phone about putting a swap offer on it when you placed a bid. I was able to pick up a nice 3X5" card that goes really well with the knife. Perhaps this is Johnathon himself ?
