Hey, steady on Brett (KBA)! :eek: Read the thread title again, this is not another excuse for you to get your shirt off feller! :D

I picked up this US Novelty Knife Co folder in a junk shop last week, and it reminded me of knives which used to be very common when I was a kid. I think I only have one other similar knife, and they’ve kind of gone out of fashion. We don’t see too many here, I guess because they tended to be very inexpensive and low quality knives. I bet a few of you have them though right? So how about dragging them out and giving us all a peek? :thumbup: The kitscher the better! :D

This Richards Scout Knife is, I think, the only other one I have.

Hahaha! I saw that one coming.

I have one or two at home, I'll try to snap a photo tonight.
 
Look forward to seeing them Dan :) In the meantime, before this thread dies completely, here's a wee tiny Richards folder I picked up ages ago, depicting Jenny Jones. whom I discovered on the internet (http://www.martyngriff.co.uk/jenny/), is a minor Welsh icon - unlike Tom Jones, who’s a miner Welsh icon! (Sorry!) Mrs Jones was at Waterloo with her husband for three days, that’s the Battle of Waterloo, not the London railway station, where many people have also had lengthy waits ;)

 
I .....I who have nothing
I am just a no one with nothing to give you
but oh
believe me....

Oh sorry.... did somebody say Tom Jones
 
I don't own any, but this one has been in my cart on that big blue roofed website for awhile...thought it would go well with my Red Ryder BB gun. The blade is even said to be carbon steel. I'm looking forward to this thread growing :thumbup:

That's what I'm talking about! :cool:
 
Lol. Didn't you read why I was shirtless? I lost it in the trade. :D

I think that Red Ryder would go great with the BB gun as well.
 
Brett I was so sad to hear you lost that shirt. Maybe we can get a pool going here to buy you another one! :D
 
Not sure if this is a pictorial. It belonged to my dad. I wasn't a knife guy when he was alive, so took no interest when he sometimes pulled out a small knife to cut some food. He passed away in 1995, and earlier this year I found this knife in a box of old things. It's not what I remember him using though.

Blee that is one I would proud to own even if it wasn't passed down.

I have to agree with Brett!! 1930s- San Fransisco Bay - Bridge- beautiful Clip - Father connection = Treasue! Colonial made some nice knives in those days!!

Thanks Gev (and flatblackcapo). I'll provide a little more info. My father came to America when he was 19 years old. He had to leave his family (wife and son) in China to look for better opportunities here. That would have been about 1938, close to the time of the Exposition, so the knife may have been one of the first things he bought here. He got drafted into the army and fought in WWII (Italy) and was injured. That gave him citizenship and enabled him to bring his family over, and was the reason I was born in San Francisco.
