Jack,

You are the Master. I quote my two favorites. Amazing collection.

Dan.

and, here's one of mine... a mellow yellow Case CV pen knife......

I love that opposite ended 87 pen ... just wish Case offered more side options with that pattern.

Tray of 13 penknives (and one jackknife) that sits on my desk. I can easily pick one out when wearing dress slacks. OH

Thank you Dan, you are very kind I'm afraid I don't have photos of all my penknives, and often they are old pics which really aren't very good

My two most carried Pen Knives...

 

[JohnDF]

That's an absolute beauty.
I too wish that Case would do more Bone on their Pen Knives.

 

[Hickory n steel]

One of my all time favorite patterns from Case, but that could easily change if they ever offer their small pen in CV.

I was hoping you'd post here, you have a lot of wonderful pen knives in your collection.
I'm not sure anybody knew their way around the classic pen knife like the Sheffield cutlers.

Thank you for posting all those beautiful examples.

My first pen was a pocket pal, and they really nailed the equal end pen knife with that one.
Normally I most think of a pen main for an equal end, but their spear main really works.

Thank you, I'll try and post a few more later. I love the old Sheffield Penknives are so slim, and yet there is never any blade rub. Even the most humble knives are so finely engineered

Great selection and variety Jack. It’s the metal bodied ones that are the stand outs for me.
