Fine job too Glenn.

Thanks! I only have one other single blade folder, so it fills a nice spot in the rotation. I needed what I would call a "standard pocket knife" (eg. classic Case slip-joint).
Here's the other single:

Wait, I forgot this one. Just a novelty item, but technically it qualifies....

Every time I see that darn Grohman my finger starts to twitch. Someday I'll pull the trigger on one.

The Norfolk is a nice slim carry with the two blades sharing a spring.

Nice looker there Gary.

I know what you mean about that Grohmann but I think I need one of their fixed first, a good old one though.

That Ohta is a wonderful small knife, GEC robbed him of the idea with their Pemberton!

Thanks, Will

Will, Thanks for the nice comments.

After I posted I realized you'd included your Norfolk in the opening post. I love the pattern and it's an excellent knife!

I do like the old Grohamns too. Very similar to the "Nessmuk". I recall a very similar knife (fixed blade) that my dad got from Herters back in the '60s. I'm not sure who it was made by, but it's long gone now I'm afraid. That knife spent a lot of time in the Moose River plains wilderness area of the Adirondack Park. The blade shape calls out to me. It looks like a real handy knife and is very appealing to my eye.

That Ohta kept me from having to buy a Pemberton. That little knife is always with me, even when not included in my EDC pics. I keep it razor sharp. It thinks it's a bigger knife and is always ready to perform.

i'm a two-spring, common pivot jack fan but somehow the case xx87 calls out to me.

I like single springs. The spring on the Schrade is extra thick the way they should be.

I can't believe I missed this thread. There are some beautiful knives here. I thought I'd share this little green bone Henckels.

Here is a Case Mini Copperhead that I like, but don't carry often enough.

Steve That Serp (the Schrade??) is a very fine looking knife indeed, many thanks for showing us that one.

Vita Brevis I believe Henckels and Böker are the same with this pattern, my Böker version is identical save for shield & blade etch, great knives.

Regards, Will

You are absolutely correct Will. The dealer I bought it from had a Boker brown bone sitting beside the green one I bought. Both knives were identical in build. I have read, but cannot confirm, Boker has manufactured Henckels since sometime in the 60's. Same similarities show in Henckels and Boker congress patterns.

Thanks Will. It is indeed a Schrade. I think the handle material is slick black, a hard rubber I think. Very well put together.

 

[Will Power]

That's very interesting Steve, surprised me, assumed it was wood. As I say, a very elegant frame, a great item in your collection. Be nice with Wharncliffe master as well .

Regards, Will

Charles That Waterville Wharncliffe is a watershed of a knife, it's what pen-knives are all about!

Thanks, Will

Thanks for the kind words Will, it is probably the oldest folder I have. Agree completely Charles always posts some
fine examples.
