All About Pocket Knives

April 14 & 15 is the OKCA (Oregon Knife Collectors Association) Show in Eugene Oregon, http://www.oregonknifeclub.org/okcashow.html This is the only show I sell at.

I have been trying to put together a few customized knives to take to the show. Some will be in my store until the show.


The first is a Camco Barlow #551. I took out the pen blade and made it a single blade and put some stag handles on it. The stag came originally from the Henckel’s factory in Germany. This is a Camillus #16 jack. It has a worn out pen blade which I removed and made it a single blade jack. I added root beer jigged bone from Culpeppers. I also put rope file work on the back spring. The knife is probably from the1950s or early 1960s. This is an Ulster jack that also had a worn pen blade. I removed the pen blade and replaced the celluloid handles with some stag, also from the Henckel’s factory. This knife is only 2-3/4” closed. A cute little fellow, imho. This one is a Camillus #23 equal end jack, probably from the 1950s. I replaced the handles with stag. I hope you enjoy looking at them.

I gotta say Dale, I'm really likin these single blade transformations you're comin up with these days. I think it's a brilliant idea. Certainly more pocket friendly.

Nice ones dale! I wish you good luck there.

Love that Camillus Jack, Dale!

Those won't last long....

Looooooooooooove that Barlow stag Dale!!!

Great job on all

Beautiful work, Dale! Everyone one of those is suited to be a workhorse OR a work of art! IMO, that's the perfect description of a great knife. Very well done!!

I tell ya if I hadn't spent so much money already last month and now this month, That single blade Camillus #16 JACK, with the jiggin would be mine!

They'll sell like hot cakes Dale! They are all very nice indeed but that #23 certainly rings my bell!! I love that pattern as is, but that is now one seriously good looking knife!!

Careful Dale - you keep showing off those little beauties and they'll never make it to the show!

Don't worry, Dale had others that found their way to my pocket.

The Camillus 16 now lives in my house!!! SCHWEEETTT!!! THANK YOU Dale!!! John

Thanks guys, I am glad you'll like them!
I think there are a couple more on my bench that I did not get finished before the show.
Stick around, I will get them finished some day when I get rested up from the show.

We'll be right here waitin Dale

The Camillus jack conversion w/ rootbeer scales is excellent.

I have an Imperial I've been thinking about doing something similar with.
