Old(er) classics

[Boattale]

I dearly love knives of many descriptions. This one was given to me in the early 1970's by my USMC buddy. First knife I ever owned that had my name engraved on the blade. It's a prized possession but had been mostly sitting in the drawer. Finally decided to get a belt pouch for it from A.G. Russell, make it into a razor and start carrying it again. Let's see some of your old(er) favorites!

I have lots of older knives including my first knife: an Imperial Kamp King! Started buying and collecting knives when I was in my teens and haven't stopped yet.

Picked up the Hackman Survival knife at a small sporting goods store for $29.95; no sheath or box to go with it.

Had a Gerber Mk.II with the gray handle as well but gifted it sometime back to a friend of mine. Bought another one a few years later but now they were made with an all black handle and different serrations. They also switched to a black leather sheath instead of the original tan leather sheath.

Here is my Ebay prize....
Winterbottom Queen Steel Swing Gaurd.
I have been carrying it as my bbq/showoff knife.
I have a Queen winterbottom fixed blade skinner somewhere amongst my treasures.

I have a few military surplus knives and a bayonet courtesy of Atlanta Cutlery and some military surplus dealers that are definitely getting up there in years...just like me!

My daily pants pocket carry knife. Perhaps not that old but not cataloged any longer.

 

[Cocked & Locked]

That Swiss Army Tinker is my favorite small knife daily carry. Got a couple of them. One in my pocket right now. I use it countless times each day.

last Christmas gave all the ladies of the family one of these little gems. A manicure set on a key chain.

Here's one from the 60's. I had a saddlemaker build the sheath sometime in the late '80's. The knife remains a favorite that sees use at least a few times every year. Herter's Inc. Gone but not forgotten.

Whoa. I just put this knife through a few passes on my Chef's Choice 1520 and then stropped on the pouch. It is no kidding surgery sharp. Carbon blades and good sharpener/strop will give you that. I can't imagine the pink stone or the Hard Arkansas in the Lansky giving much more of glassy finish. Whoa.

Not so old, but classics nonetheless...

This was my EDC knife for a lot of years. Still like it.

I need to take more pictures with old knives included.

Looking forward to that as every photo you've posted so far has been excellent! Especially liked the the M1 Carbine with the M4 bayonet!
