My Dad gave me his old Case pocketknife and I also bought an Opinel No. 8 for around the house use. Wouldn’t mind splurging on a nice smaller knife to treat myself. Yes. And swords. I've always had knives for different purposes but looking to add some unique items. Have this in my shopping cart right now but haven't decided yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a beautiful knife. And small enough to carry anywhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to tell how big the ring is from the pic but I think this style is typically held with ring and middle finger through the loop and index finger along the spine with the thumb free. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBQ Posted November 4, 2022 Report Share Posted November 4, 2022 Here are a few of mine I posted a while ago. I prefer the traditional ones like Case. I get a lot of them at flea markets and estate sales. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrflynn03 Posted November 5, 2022 Report Share Posted November 5, 2022 I've had this Browning Kodiak for about 20 yrs. I've used it A LOT during deer season. It does not look like this now. My dad got it for me and still works as good as the first time I used it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If an option is high quality and made in the US, I’m buying that over something cheaper made somewhere else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrflynn03 Posted November 5, 2022 Report Share Posted November 5, 2022 I changed my mind. I'm probably going to get a US Army Ka bar straight edge next. And maybe a tactical spork. Just because it exists. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWB Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 I collect the boxes of all the "collectible" crap my wife buys... Told her I sure hope I die before you, because I don't want to have to deal with all the crap you collected. Right after I said that...she almost made me die. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the only words are on that scale. I’ve seen a Sta-Sharp brand that sears sold but they all had some labeling. I believer they were made by Camillus. I have to assume this is some cheaper version they sold without any more branding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrflynn03 Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 My dad gave me this knife. It was my grandpa's knife, he passed in 1975. So it was made before then. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
