All About Pocket Knives

Generally not the biggest fan of pearl..but this is an older Eye....and I dig it! Straight-line stamp, pinched bolsters and the etching isn't faded. Finding it made my day!

I like pearl handles as much as anything. That's a nice one there!

Thanks btrwtr don't get me wrong, I like the looks of pearl...and I really like this knife in particular...but generally, I'm stag at heart. The more I look at this knife though...the more I like it!

I bought a half congress that looks like this one, but it has Pearlex handles.
I'd like to run across one with genuine pearl handles, I'm jealous.

Thanks Keith how close does this pearlex look like real pearl...I mean, I'm almost positive this is m.o.p...but I've been wrong before. Quite often too say the least! I'll see if I can take a better pic.

HiPower is right. A pearl handled knife is about the hardest to get right in a photo.

Thanks for looking paladin and hi power...and I don't believe my photos do the knife justice. It looks better in hand. I tried several pics and I agree...pearl is difficult in capturing the fire in the pearl.
Hipower, that trapper is a dandy...I want one just like it!

Mine is pretty easy to tell that its not real pearl, but I can't say about other knives.
No matter how you turn mine to the light, you don't get any of the "fire" that you see from real MOP.
