Thanks Modoc, that folder was the first I assembled. For ~$20, it's been a nice little work knife and it had a nice edge until I let some gunshow hack sharpen it. :roll: I suppose I need to break out my whetstone and correct that.

This isn't a pocket knife but it's not a long knife either. The maker told me it's a style of Asian fighting blade. I don't have a use for it but I liked the looks so it followed me home. Plus I like supporting a local maker. It's Damascus with Micarta scales:

Nice knives guys. Those slip joints are really nice to carry in the pocket. Not as bulky as the newer style knives although I do carry the newer ones from time to time.

I bought a Buck Stockman like this yesterday for my nephew. It'll make a good first knife for him. His birthday is next weekend. He'll be 11.

Better give him a tube of super glue and band aids. I used to cut the @#$% out of myself when I got my first knife.
Kind regards,

Ya know what the best thing is about nephews, nieces, and grand children? You can always send em home to their Mom and Dad when yer through playing with them. There's no "clean up on isle 5" so-to-speak. :)

You've given me an idea though Tycer. I think I'll wrap up a band aid with the knife when I give it to him. :lol:

Too scarce and too purdy to carry around, but it's one of my favorites. Eye Brand stockman pattern. The fit and finish on this knife is outstanding.
There's two kinds of lever action rifles - those designed by J.M. Browning, and those that are inferior.

Here are a few knives I keep up my sleeve. The first one is a German Eye Trapper with stag handles. I like stag. It is about 4 1/4" closed.
Image

The second is another German Eye Trapper with red handles. It is smaller than the other one. Not nearly as thick but about the same length.

Image

This last one is a Sho' Nuff Catdaddy Mississippi River Squirrel Fish and Deer Special Old Timer. It is the one that really goes places and it is a great knife.

Terry,
I will see if can get the wife to take a couple of good pictures of it and send to you by e-mail. I'm not computer savvy enough to know how to download pics from the camera to the PC. The knife has (2) what I think are called sheep's foot blades and (2) small spear point blades. One of each on opposite ends. The scales are some sort of hard brown material (bone?). The bolsters (?) appear to be nickle steel. It's 3 1/2 inches long closed. The sheep's foot blades are 2 1/4 inch long from bolster to tip. The spear points are 1 3/4 inch long from bolster to tip. I'm not a knife man so I don't know much about them, only what I see in the knife catalogs that come in the mail.


Here's some added info after I looked the knife over. On one of the larger blades at the bolster is stamped John Primble Belknap Inc. on the other side is 5514 over a star. The blades are carbon steel by the way.

Buck 110 and a Snap On box knife are always at hand -- pretty boring i know, but for me, its a time tested combo that works. The box knife gets used a lot for legitimate purposes, but the 110 is as likely to be used for carving off a small hunk of NY style Xtra Sharp cheddar at lunch time as it is for anything that resembles "work" :lol:
