knives: Show and tell

[wood714]

Alost all of these were gifts from my dad. The Case on the top left he gave me when I was 12. I have several boxed Case Limited Editions. One I'd get instantly banned if I posted here.

 

[THE PILGRIM]

This knife, not this actual one but one like it, was the first knife issued to me.
We carried them in the knee pocket of our flying suits with the shroud cutter open.
Often it was at home in the dirty flying suit.
Later I carried it in a G Suit, it was always there!

I stopped at a yard sale one Friday,, and saw a nice large gym bag looking thing,, it looked like it would make a nice bugout bag,, if I ever wanted one.

I asked how much, she said $2,, I bought it,,

I thought it was kinda heavy,, when I got home, I found this inside the bag,,,

I think it was one of my better yard sale finds,,,,,,,,,

Other than a nice conversation starter, does anyone know what it is??

I have collected a few over the years.

If you ever get into northern PA, go to the Zippo Lighter/Case Knives Museum and Stort in Bradford, PA. You will see an absolutely awesome display of Case knives and a tremendous number of Case knives for sale. I was up that way for a wedding and decided this was just too good to pass up, so I went to see it yesterday.

It's a rescue tool similar to this one.

Just a moment...

As a teenager, I could never keep up with a knife. So I was never I knife guy. But years later when I began to see knives as tools, I learned to appreciate them more.

These were built by Joel Green, Grit City Knives from Tacoma. Three of them are solid working knives and one is just pretty. The Bird & Trout with the light colored micarta handles has a San Mai blade, the pictures don't do it justice.

The first one is a Street Cleaver, the second is a Strongside, the next two are Bird & Trout's.

Tacoma Approved !!

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.

I have an almost identical orange Buck with NRA-ILA on the blade. It was a gift from the NRA for making a donation.

Those Schrade Sharpfinger's are very unique. I have one also but not as nice as yours.

 

[mauser9]

Nice Sharpfinger! Back when I was young I recall a subscription to Outdoor Life magazine would get you one for free. probably back in late 60s or early 70s. Made here back then. Sure look like an awesome skinner.

Here's a Rapid River Knifeworks drop point I bought on one of my trips to the MI UP.

From around the pre-war period "I think". I had one in the 60's that the original scales said "Ever Ready". Stupidly I was talked out of it. Some years later I found this one and have kept it since. Not like the ones made over seas, has a quality build. Imperial.

 

[30-30remchester]

Neet old Imperial, H Richard. Most collectors of antique knives seldom give an Imperial brand knife a second look, and rightfully so in many cases. Most were extremely cheap, mass produced knives with shell handles. However, they did produce some quite well-built higher quality knives. Of my hundreds of antique folders, Case's, Remington's, Winchester's, Keen Kutter's, to name just a few, one of my most often carried is an early Imperial premium stockman with long pull and cut swedge main blade. It has the same type of scales as yours. I called them linoleum scales as they remind me of the type of linoleum flooring of the 1940' till the 1960's.

I don't collect knives, but they seem to accumulate over the years. I've had the 110 Buck the longest, got it just after high school almost 50 years ago. The three Gerbers are almost as old, about 40 years. The SOG's and Benchmade's on the left are fairly new, maybe 5-6 years. I think I've had the small Schrade 25 years or more, and the three blade Buck about the same. The yellow handled knife was one my Dad carried, so it's older than all of them.

I have the original sheaths for all that had them.

 

[hkcavalier]

I have this custom tanto by local (to me) knife wizard Ben Hayhurst.

 

[OLDSTER]

L to R; Kershaw, Pro-Tech, Pro-Tech, Piranha, Gerber, Benchmade, Kalish



I carry one of these every day.

First, I want to say, I wish I could take fantastic pictures of my stuff like many of you can. My pictures don't do these beautiful Great Eastern Knives any justice! Here are some pictures of many, not all, of my GEC collection. I need to add the rest to the display.
