I have been whiling away the time spent on my butt at home recuperating taking some pics of a few knives. These are my old ones. From top to bottom, an old Vess two blade jack, next one of my favorite stockmans and old Boker, third a Primble scout knife, fourth a Remington two blade serpentine? jack and last but not least a Camillus scout knife.

The Vess, Boker and Camillus all have steel liners, the Primble and Remington have brass liners. I'm guessing that the Remington is not exactly pristine, but I still like it anyway. The Primble might not be as old as I think it is, but I love the jigged bone.

Sorry for the bad pics.

All but the Primble were found at junk shops and flea markets. The Primble was part of a trade with a buddy of mine at a gun show.
 
Nice collection of oldies but goodies. The Remington is a nice trim little cutter for edc. :thumbup:

Great looking collection of the old beauties. Thank you for showing.

I hope, you´ll be fine soon...

Kind regards

Thanks guys, I think the Vess is the oldest, the Remington is suspect because of the liners. The Vess is from the mid 30's according to the Blade guide. The Boker stamping covers a wide date, and the Camillus is old. I had the Vess repinned, it was missing a pin. The others have been touched up on a sharpener. The Primble was sharpened by Scott Gossman. I've carried all of them at one time or another. These old timers are the biggest reason I like poking around the junk shops for knives. I've got a few recent model Schrades, some Case knives I've given away as gifts. These are the "cream of the crop" though. I just like seeing all of the character. Can't beat the pocket worn handles though. My crappy pic skills can't capture the scales on the stockman, it is a real eye catcher.
 
Here's two older barlows, top one is a Remington barlow, the pen blade having been heavily sharpened down. The bottom is a Camillus no 9 with a heavy patina.

I was trying to get in touch with the guy who repinned the Voos, about removing the pen blade on the Remington and removing the second spring, so I would have a single spring barlow to carry and use, but I haven't been able to get in touch with him. Going to send him an email about "tinkering" with it.
