Post a Picture of a Traditional Pocketknife

[nachogrande]

IMAGINE THIS.

IF I knew how to post a pic, you would be viewing a 1960's Kamp-King boy scouts folding pocket knife. I bought 2 for 5$ at our gun clubs LAST & FINAL swap meet, they needed a good cleaning, but are as sharp OR SHARPER than any other in my drawer-O-knives. Today it's a Fred Peron 1 1/2" fixed blade neck knife 24/7 and it gets used app a dozen times a day easy. A Gerber Leek in a pocket often when going out. The Boy scout & Leatherman wave get used quite often as well, but they stay in my desk.

That would be new age blade running under false colors, as they say in pirate-sailing books.
Sort of like this one.
That’s a stock picture, but I do have one, carry it often.

Similar .... but not the "North Fork" I have mine has a thumb stud and AXIS lock

"Lotta Use"

This Old, hard used knife, a J.A.Henckles buffalo horn Whittler, in the 1950s era, was in my pocket, any time that I had pants on. It was my constant companion for many years. the tip of one blade was broken off by a long deceased friend, and used afterward as a "scraper/screw driver". It brings back lots of memories.

This is my AL Mar Eagle. It has been my EDC for 35 years. I have a number of other knives for different uses but wouldn't trade this one for anything.

A Case XX that my dad was given as a Christmas present in the early 60’s, he carried and used it for decades. I inherited it. Second one is an Imperial that I got when I was in grade school. Third one is my edc German army knife.

I haven’t carried a “conventional pocketknife” (which for me would be a three-blade stockman) since I was in high school. One day I discovered the “Executive” model Swiss Army knife. It has been so perfect for me that I am rarely without it. Once in a great while I carry both the Executive and a smallish lock-blade knife, but normally the larger knives are in the car or the truck where I can get to them, but not in my pocket. Oddly enough, I don’t have a picture handy that shows my Executive - sorry!

I carry an Escort. It's smaller and has only a blade and file/screwdriver. Super handy.

My other traditional is a Case II pen 620033. Another one that disappears until needed.

I LIKE THE GERMAN ARMY KNIFE.

At this stage of life, trade the corkscrew for a metal file.

This Old Timer and I have been constant companions for a couple decades. She is a cheap, but reliable companion.
We have opened tens of thousands bales of hay and been expelled from some nice places together. We were expelled from the Capitol building in Harrisburg, PA, and labeled as potential terrorists at the Washington Monument where we had to briefly part company, and I was made to wear a sign during the tour identifying me as a threat.
Yep, we have had a lot of good times together. If she could talk I'm certain she'd remind me of many more.....

That has been sharpened a time or 2.

Yes, at least three times.......
Honestly, I have no idea how many times, but "a lot" would be a fair descriptor. Like I said, we've been around the block a couple times together.

"Fish'in Knife"

This old KA-BAR "Fish'in" was part of the tackle in my fish'in tackle box, for about 65 years, until I quit fish'in.

QUIT FISH’IN!!!??? I did not think profane utterances were allowed on this forum!?

 

[THE PILGRIM]

That’s a Western Fishing Knife in my group picture.
Never actually used it, don’t recall when-where I acquired it.

Woodcarving Knife

I just got this heavy, well built, Schrade Oldtimer knife, a wood carving knife, that might become my favorite to carry while working, knife.

Not surprised. That is a new design. I only started seeing them within the last year or so.
