Real Pocketworn Knives

[r8shell]

I just love old pocketworn knives. There's nothing wrong with the new "Pocketworn" knives from Case, but I'm talking about knives that have been polished smooth like river rocks from many years of carry.

Anyone else agree? Let's see 'em!

I love 'em!! Here's an international group, from Sheffield, America and Italy!!
The bottom one was a gift!!!

A few of my older Barlows. These aren't really in too bad of shape, considering they're even older than me.

I have carried this Old Stag Schrade many-a-mile before retiring it to Shadowbox in my Dining room!! Wabi Sabi!!!

My favorite pocket worn (all the wear took place in my older brother's pocket before I inherited it)

I always think of you whenever I glimpse that knife hiding in my drawer!! Thanks again - I am ever grateful for that old, Italian Knife!!

My one and only. 6375CV




I am not sure if my Case canoe qualifies. It (obviously)is not as pocket worn as the stockman, but is showing a bit of wear.
If it does not qualify, let me know, and I will edit it out of this post.

Miller Bros wood and Waterville bone. You can't really tell with the smooth wood, but the slots are worn off of the aft screws.

I love to see that Canoe again! Glad to see it has been well used. That 6375 looks great, too!

This old Robeson HJ was a gift from Duncan Campbellclanman

It obviously takes a long time. I’ve been carrying a Russlock every day for 4 years and it still looks nearly new.

I don't know the age of this Ulster whittler but it's plenty old enough to have been carried for years, more likely decades by others prior to when I acquired it around 7-10 years ago.
The Bayonne jack knife in the third pic is pre 1911 as that is the date that the Bayonne Knife Co went out of business.



Nice idea for a thread Rachael.

It certainly takes a long while, though it maybe somewhat faster when folks only owned one knife at a time.

Thanks! Isn't it great to carry a centenarian in your pocket?
