"Old Knives"

[Augie]

Bunch of great knives everyone, love looking at them.

Added a short line Camillus 72 carpenters whittler with bone covers, dates from late 1940's.

A real show guys after the long respite. That's what spears should look like Duncan.

Love that pick bone on that H Boker Cal.
This is what pick bone looks like after years of pocket wear , just remnants of the deep cross hatching .

Knife of the month for me right there.

Nice Camny Augue. Aren’t they just the great Knife!!!

Lyle - wow - with all that carry and I’m guessing use as well, the Blades have been exceptionally well sharpened and maintained over that Knife’s lifetime.
Awesome to see that!

Picked up a knife you don't see all that often a true Camillus Whittler, most Camillus whittlers are not your traditional whittler but more like the 72 carpenters whittler I posted earlier. This one appears to be unused with a 4 line tang stamp putting it right around WW2.

Django606, thats a real nice handful of Knives you have there matey. gorgeous!

Nice addition Augie- yeah...one you don't see around a lot at all.

Added a Boker 182 Camp knife awhile back, little unusual in that it has a pocket slip, chain, medallion and pocket clip. I'm thinking dates from the 1960's.

Arbolito is their South American trademark; do you think it was made there? Do you think any of the Arbolito-branded knives were made in South America? I think Arbolito might mean "little tree."

I have grown very fond of Bokers Punch over the last few years!

Cal, from what I could find these were made in Germany for the South American market. There is a Boker factory in Buenos Aires but from what I could find they don't make this pattern there.

Here is a relic of the same knife, then a nice one compared to a Remington!!

Nice Charlie, someone really used that first one. I've had a mint one of the Remingtons, any idea who had the pattern first?

I don't know who was first!! I wonder if Boker contracted them to Remington? - they are very similar!!

ok.... a real mixture coming up..

Oh man Duncan! What a fantastic display!

Thank you Dwight, I like accoutrements better.
