Are the old camp kings all metal? I believe so.

Are they the ones with a thin celluloid skin and shell bolsters?

I don’t think so. They were a camp scout type knife with metal handles, I think, made to look like bone with jimping with a bail. And bolsters. The shield said Kamp King.

 

[tongueriver]

OK, thanks; I think I got it. Solid bolsters and 'shrinkydink' covers.

 

[cbach8tw]

I now think you were right about the Kamp King, they may be celluloid or delrin.

Hi Jack... the New England Newspaper one is an Ulster

(I ordered the pencil leads from the shopping site for a couple of bucks - they arrived all the way from Japan and included a cool origami throwing star and hand-written note)

Thank you for the info Kevin, very nice I'm going to have to search through my knives, but if I have something similar, I don't think it's an Ulster. I do have one with the name of my local newspaper on

That's cool Is your mechanical pencil by Zebra, it's very similar to the ballpoints I use? Your Higo fits in well

Posting a photo of my Higonakami reminded me of my Hongjie Super Knife, how could I forget about this one?!

And I missed a quote.
I was going to say "except for the cel skin", but yeah, the really old ones had real bolsters and pins and non-metal handle covers; and the early shell handles were enamelled before they went to the celluloid skin.
Here's an Imperial boys' knife of painted vintage.

I have so many of these small metal penknives that this Needham Brothers was an entirely random pick. I love the knives, they're so incredibly compact, not the merest hint of blade-rub though

Another big Buck Knife, but even lighter than the titanium, this one has fancy aluminum handles, and a three-dot blade from the early 1980's, a Buck 111. This one came with a fancy tooled leather sheath to match (need to take a photo of it too). These knives are often found with a previous owners name engraved in them - there were a couple of smaller sizes as well. When the world was friendlier to cutting tools they were favorite gift knives. I found this one NIB in a gunshop a number of years ago now. OH
