Love them Jar, you need to find a vintage Lunch Box to go with them.

A couple Gerber silver knights in wood and abalone. Good steel from the pre-Fiskars era.View attachment 909524

I had the wood version. It was a very nice little knife. I wish I still had it.

If you still want one, I have one that I carried around for years, as well as the two unused specimens. It's yours for the cost of shipping if desired.

Always liked the sleek design and build quality of the Gerber Silver Knights. They remind me a bit of another Gerber knife: the Ebony Folding Hunter III.

went looking for my Manixes. I found both 2 LWs and my original, but don't see my Manix 2 XL. Hopefully it'll turn up- it's my favorite hard use folder!

I remember that you stated in a post some time ago your preference for the Manix over the PM-2. I had both knives at the time and my personal preference (at the time) was the PM-2. But I had the lightweight Manix 2. There was a lot that I liked about it, but it was just too light, and still a relatively large knife. Plus I didn't care for the CTS BD1 steel in the blade compared to the S30V in the PM-2.

But last week I got a chance to handle the regular Manix 2 with G10 handles and S30V steel. Now I get it. I bought it and it hasn't been out of my pocket since. I also have a couple of the Natives that will serve for the times I need something smaller. The older Native I bought at Walmart years ago for $35. The blade grind is slightly different than the newer production knife, but still basically the same. I could probably do everything I need to do with a pocket knife with those 2.

Glad the Manix 2 is working for you.

How about an early 1930’s Imperial mini barlow? This was a boy’s knife that survived the boy. I carried this for a little while until the scales started to delaminate.

Nice, is it Scandinavian?

The little knife is Finnish, I got it from my father who came to the states in 1962 so it's pretty old. I picked up another new one when I went to Finland in 1993 it has a red handle and is exactly the same size.

I used to have it on my keychain but got tired of being sent back to my car when trying to get into places.

Well, that blade must be almost 2" long. With a vicious weapon of mass destruction like that, it's understandable.

Here is my offering:

It’s exactly 4” overall length, and I have it off with a friend of mine having a sheath made for it.

my sheath came today, along with a can cooler wrap. Neato!
