Title: Show us your pocketknives!!!!
Post by: Otto on January 23, 2007, 10:12:00 PM
Well we've seen some pretty awesome hunting knives recently on the other thread .  I thought it might be interesting to see the pocketknives we all carry/collect.

  (http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o232/Ottodude/PICT0918.jpg)

Most of these are Case XX's, made sometime in between 1940/45 through 1964.  A couple of Bucks in there and 3 newer Case's.

My EDC is the single blade trapper on the bottom, a custom knife made by a fellow named Don Morrow in Texas.

Let's see em folks!!!!

I am still carrying the Remington R-2 I bought 20 years ago. It's kinda worn, but is a very good knife. Frank

Ray Hammond

Is that a Jerry Corbit?

He makes some very cool folders.  I'm into more of the old time patterns but a beautiful knife is still just that, regardless of the style.

Here is a folder I got from master knifemaker Dave Ricke. It has a spalted maple handle, carbon steel blade with titanium inards. My crummy pics dont do it justice.

I took some pictures today.  I hope I can make this work.

 (http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b260/plybenderpics/folders001.jpg)

This pic has a trapper that is a LLBean limited addition, it also has an old Gerber skinner.  I haven't seen another of these.  I got it in the mid 70's.  The Green one is a German army folder that I always carry while hunting. The big one I got when I about ten y/o.  It is huge.
 (http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b260/plybenderpics/folders007.jpg)

These are just an assortment of small folders.  There are two butterfly knives. The small one was a gift from some karate students almost 20 yrs ago.
 (http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b260/plybenderpics/folders006.jpg)

This group are my Limited edition Schrade scrimshaws with beaded sheaths.
 (http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b260/plybenderpics/folders009.jpg)

This last group I guess I would call my "tactical" group.  The most versatile designed knife I ever carried/owned is the Benchmade AFCK (I got 2)

Enjoy,

Carl

Carried this ol' boy in my hip pocket for almost 28 years now. Its the only bolt action lock blade that Gerber ever made.It will open with a flick of your wrist. Heck I used to be able to pull it out and cut a  dropped hotdog twice before it hit the ground with it. But now a days I'm gettin old, so I can only Manage to cut it once. It's cut everything from small Game to deer and muggers.  I'd Turly be lost without it.

Nothing special to show. I have about a dozen Schrade 980T Old Timers. I lose knives at an alarming rate, so I tend to stick with more inexpensive models that are still of decent quality.
