15 Pocket Knives Quietly Becoming PRICELESS (Most People Don't Know They Have Them) - Video

-

 I watch a lot of knife videos.  Part of the habit of the hobby.  This one caught my eye and I thought I'd pass it along.  I was also interested in whether I had some of these knives.  It gives a nice history of the common pocket knife from another era, especially when many, if not most, were manufactured in the US. They also often featured carbon blades vs. the ubiquitous stainless steel of today. Note: It is AI generated, which seems to be more and more these days.

Of those 15 mentioned, I have these: 

  • The Barlow - The oldest working knife pattern still in use. Most of in my collection are new, accept the one I posted separately from Colonial, USA.  I think I saw a picture of the one I have in the video.  Not expensive, but truly collectable.  I got mine for a mere $10 at a flea market.
  •  Cattaraugus knife - They feature the 'jack' knife, but I have a military fixed blade (the "Quartermaster Knife" - 225Q) that has its own post.  
  •  Camillus knives used in the military.  They feature the TL-29, the "Linesman's Knife," but I have the equally familiar "Demo" Army Utility Knife. 
  • Shrade Old Timer knives - They feature the 340T.  I have two vintage ones: 250T and 1540T.   
  • Case knives - Mine are all more recent, but I'm on the lookout for vintage ones....
  •  Remington Bullet Knife - Given to my wife and then to me by her uncle.  Used by her aunt oftentimes when on the road to cut apples. 
  • Buck 110 Folding Hunter - Again, mine is new.  It was one of the knives I purposely bought as the beginning of my new collection.  Glad I got mine before the price went up

SMITH AND WESSON BENJI - A Fun Little Knife, but Well Made

I find myself with certain 'categories' of collecting as I venture further into this hobby.  One is what we might call the 'mini knife'.  I now have several.  One highly rated one from a well-known brand is the Smith and Wesson Beji Folding Knife .  This time I allowed myself an exception and purchased it at full price, although that's not saying a lot since it is quite affordable.  It retails under $30.

BUCK Selector - A Discontinued, Yet Good Idea in a Folding Knife

-
 Again, this appears to be a 'vintage' model, possibly from the 1990s.  It has a partially serrated blade with the traditional Buck lock back system and synthetic handle in green.  Originally it seems that this knife may have come with multiple blades, such as an all serrated one or a saw blade, that could be swapped out according to the owner's needs, as well as a sheath.  I do not have the original sheath or additional blades, but I'm sure I could hunt these down on the internet if I wished.  The handles came in variety of colors: black, green, orange.  Obviously, if I had additional blades the value would increase, perhaps upwards of $60 or $70. I bought this one, along with the Nobleman I already wrote about, for $10 like the other one.  Considering its condition, I think I got a deal.
