some I bought when young (15 y.o.) some were gifts from my aunt that said they belonged to my grandfather... been collecting since about 8 years old...

 

[PaulDoc]

One of the first editions of SOG Tomcat. The absolute firsts are stamped S.M.C.A. for Santa Monica California. Very few. Mine is stamped EDM WA. For Edmunds, Washington. That was there first company headquarters. Not many stamped like that either. All others afterwards had no location stamps

 

[sceva]

Firsts are nice to have.

My Denning is marked like this: Mr. Denning told me it was the first time he used a prototype marking.

Was Looking trying to find a Knife I haven’t already posted.

Notice the difference?

Here’s an original George Herron skinner, #783. I haven't been able to identify Scrimshaw artist “S D”. I assume the work was done in 1981.

This is an early Rolox knife by Benchmark. It has a complicated mechanism that allows the blade to slide back into the handle.

I’ll end with a German gravity knife made by Gebr. Grafrath in Soligen Germany.

Here are a couple of my knives. The first one is a Buck folder with orange handles. It came with an orange camo scabbard.

The other knife is a folding filet knife that Remington was marketing in conjunction with Stren fishing line. The Stren name is etched on the blade. Not only will it filet fish, but it was great for cutting up peppers and onions in chili cookoffs.

These are great - keep them coming

All very nice to look at. Got back into knives myself after seeing how many makes, models, and the quality of blades today. Just glad I held onto that Puma Skinner I bought in 67. Back then around $26 I believe. for EDC now I am happy with my Sog Trident AT-XR spring assist.

While I’ll admit my Spyderco Delica K390 is a fantastic knife, my true likes are with traditional style folders and sheath knives.

 

[hivel37]

Recently bought my second Randall.
It’s an Airman model 15 I think.
It’s my last one..

Some Bay of Pigs issue equipment. Note the OSS/CIA stiletto with its "spatula" sheath. These are real relics.

[Rodan]

Custom hunter from Prescott Knives. I had a sheath made to match my SAA rig...

Another custom from Prescott Knives. I need to get a sheath made for this one... not a fan of the horizontal sheath it came with...

 

[digi-shots]

John, nice grouping…

I have a similar one!

 

[Charlie Foxtrott]

Everybody has knives.

I have a few myself.

 

[ISCS Yoda]

I'm not sure that I have a knife that I haven't posted more than once; let's stick to these three:

Custom made by a gent named "Toner", I have had it for many years. The best part is that the sheath that he made is for the pocket, it has no belt loop, etc. Which makes it ultimately concealable and as I understand the knife laws in certain places that I have to travel without a firearm, it is perfectly legal.

I especially like the odd shaped top one because I can belt carry it to steak restaurants and it, of course, cuts better than their knives.

The lower one is just cool but the sheath melted a little bit in my 2018 fire so it doesn't hold it as it used to.

My Titusville PA knives

Here are my toothpick knives from Great Eastern Cutlery and a utility knife from Queen Cutlery. The toothpicks are Aqua Camel Bone and Sambar Stag. The Queen Cutlery utility knife is Zebra African Hardwood.

The reddish tint is from the patio umbrella. For some reason, Android likes to rotate attachments. My formative years were from the Titusville area.
