Just got this Imperial backpacker, made by Camillus i believe.

A couple of novelty "Collector Edition" fixed blades. What you get when a friend who is not a knife person buys you a present. Kind of cool.View attachment 1093845

Lol!, I guess they mean well...
My wife has stopped trying to buy me knives.
It's hard to act surprised sometimes.

 

[RayseM]

My wife no longer tries to buy me knives or tools Not unlike me trying to buy her a nice outfit
She loves to have me along on her shopping trips for a consult but not receptive to surprises in the clothing department - not even a "nice" coat.

Yes, exactly. I do not buy my wife clothes either... or shoes, or handbags, etc.
I'm outta my wheelhouse there.

One of two knives that arrived yesterday.

 

[Henry Beige]

One of these, I am not sure which, is my latest addition. The other one I have had for about four years. It is a laminated Mora, possibly the last laminated model they offer.

Out of curiosity, I looked up my old order, for which I paid $41. The current vendor had the same knife listed for $115. No sooner had the sticker shock worn off than panic set in. Was this knife headed for extinction? Was it already out of production? Was the inflated price due to the knife’s rarity, or is the vendor just a price gouger? I am only 71 years old. I could easily use this knife up and find myself unable to replace it, at least at a reasonable cost.

A little investigation disclosed that the knife lists for $78 on the Morakniv site. A little more rooting around turned up an example for $49. I bought it. I am probably the victim of a hustle, but I should now have enough laminated Moras to last the rest of my life.

You are welcome, Alan. Enjoy it and I expect to see it posed with a very pretty shell.

Great trio there, Sir
Your first GEC fixed blade? I've been curious about them, but prefer stainless (do they make stainless fixed blades?).

 

[joeradza]

It's my second GEC fixed. I have an H73 but I like this H60 because it's a mini bowie. It is stainless.

 

[black mamba]

Alan, I think the picture you posted is an H73, and in 1095 steel.

Case needs to bring the coke Coke bottle back right away, they'll sell a ton if they do and I'll be one of the buyers.

That jigging and the full sized clip blade make that one very nice!

Thanks John. It's a big'un too.

couple pens arrived today.
A Cornwall cutlery ca. 1900-1920's
and a Camillus , made in 1985 I guess.

The Cornwall brings with it the issues associated with Celluloid and the main blade is kind of limp, but it's got enough snap to stay open and took a razor edge so I reckon it's good enough for me to carry once in a while.

The Camillus is set to get a good deal of pocket time.

Dad gave me a few knives on my latest visit. This Case was in rough shape. The pen blade needed a good soaking before it would open. I don’t ever remember seeing it before and Dad didn’t know where it came from. It might have been his Dad’s knife. Grandpa always used a knife on the farm but I don’t ever remember paying attention to what it was.

 

[sailfish]

Just arrived today! As a tribute to my first pocket knife (the USA 30OT below), I decided to hunt down an old USA made Old Timer in a more recently acquired favorite pattern, the Trapper. Definitely older than my first one and probably even older than me but is in excellent condition.

A couple of advertising knives from Dad too. My Mom’s step Dad drove dump truck for Dubuque Sand and Gravel for many years. He owned his own truck and had Looney Tunes characters painted on the doors and grill. He gave me one of these knives but I carried it in my hand so much I wore the writing off. I can’t read what the other little knife says but I know Dad had several like it from different companies.

I rember this old castration knife before it was broken. Never got any work on calves that I know of but who knows how Dad broke it?
